I had one of these done for an endoscopy - it ended horribly. It got “stuck” so I ended up having to have surgery for it to be removed.

Getting that surgery coordinated and scheduled took months all the while my health was declining. Eventually it got so bad that I couldn’t hold down food and I had to be pre-admitted to the hospital a month before the procedure and put on IV nutrition…

Granted I do have an autoimmune GI condition which is what prompted that test in the first place, and the chances of this happening is supposedly quite small but… Yeah I’ll take the endoscopy and colonoscopy over even that small chance of going through all of that all over again…

Let us know how it goes, and if you have any further questions, feel free to give us a shout!

Ah, gotcha - yeah that is definitely one of the pitfalls of Linux gaming still, which is the “there’s so many different configurations and some of them just work, others don’t” issue. I have an AMD card so perhaps it is an Nvidia issue - hopefully those sorts of issues smooth out once NVK is fully ready to go.

What issues does Forza have on Linux? I can’t speak for the Motorsport series, but I’ve been playing 4 and 5 on my Steam Deck and desktop for a while now without issue.

Congrats on the new home!

This looks like a fantastic update! Huge thanks to everyone involved!

If there’s anything that I’ve learned, it’s that lawsuits are more often than not, just a joke to the large companies.

Hell it’s often easier for them to just classify whatever fine they get slapped on the wrist with as a business expense, than to do the right thing, it seems.

Oh wow, that does sound glorious! I’m definitely looking to get an OLED TV (or at least an OLED monitor) next, I’ve had an OLED screen on my phone for a while now but it wasn’t until I recently picked up the OLED Steam Deck that made me go “Wow this is amazing!” - now I want it everywhere haha.

Dang, OLED TVs haven’t even gotten to my price range yet! Though admittedly I could probably do a better job at looking I suppose…

This isn’t a problem of Lemmy itself in terms of the software, so I’m not sure it qualifies… But, I find that Lemmy still has the same problem of Reddit where if you say something that the majority of users disagree with, prepare to be torn apart in the comments. And I do not just mean by getting corrected on something you said being factually incorrect, I mean more of a “your opinion is wrong because…”

For example, any discussion revolving around Linux (and let me just prepend this by saying I am a Linux user), if you happen to prefer using Windows be prepared to be told all of the reasons why you have to use Linux instead. And that’s usually tame compared to what I’ve seen on other subjects.

Obviously there are cases where yeah, you absolutely deserve to be torn a new one in the extreme cases when someone is actually being truly vile, such as trying to advocate for the harm of someone/a group of people - but the “extremes” are not what I’m really referring to here.

I’ve blocked a lot of users that while I’ve had no interaction with them, I see how they are clearly engaging in, let’s just say, bad faith with others.

In terms of software-specific issues, I can’t say that I really have had a lot of problems with Lemmy itself as of recently. As an instance owner, I used to have a lot of weird (what seemingly appeared to be, at least) random federation issues, but I haven’t seen any federation problems in a while now. Though just today I swear I submitted a comment somewhere, and its just poof not there - not even locally, but I’m chalking that one up to something I’ve done (whether a misclick, or I’m just hallucinating as badly as an LLM) rather than an actual issue.

Ah, well I hope your new system is more to your liking then!

OpenRGB might be able to help you change the colors if that’s something you’re interested in fixing nowadays.

Thankfully Mastodon seems to be doing a good job at providing news like this for me. I first saw it the morning it happened because I had to approve the trending link that a lot of people were posting.

Diablo (at least 3 - excluding the console versions and 4, not sure about the older ones) is an online-only game, if they’re locking you out of your account, then you will not be able to authenticate to the game server and thus won’t be able to play.

Diablo is indeed a single purchase game (with tons of MTX and soon to be DLC of course, but the base game is a single purchase).

I think “here” being the instance their account is on, https://lemm.ee

I haven’t looked into Proton, but BitWarden is open source both server side and client side.

The only game that I keep Windows around for is Destiny 2… I know, but it’s the game my closest friends are often playing - but I’ve been playing it less and less so I might actually end up removing Windows completely if the next expansion doesn’t go well.

Now that I have a Steam Deck, I have zero reasons to get into Windows-only games anymore.

I don’t personally use iOS, but some friends of mine have given good reviews about Podcast Republic - note that it has a one-time ads free unlock to it.

It has to be a link to a direct image, the image can’t be on a webpage or such. Generally that ends in .png (or another photo-related extension) for convention (but not strictly required, depends on how the server is configured).
