"I picked Lemmy.World."

For me, it was kbin.social - but kbin and lemmy didn't play well together when I joined (and now it's in its current state). Then I picked lemmy.world - and they went down one day due to the influx of users. Then I picked sh.itjust.works and I've been happy ever since. I'll be staying here until the day I spin up my own instance.

Simple Green is my go to degreaser when dish soap and hot water don't cut it.

Not OP, but my favorite faction was dungeon. Getting all those black dragons and having a good ole time across the map... I need to pick it back up.

Does this seem legit? The most common words in place (town/city) names per state in the U.S. in c/[email protected]

[–] SuzyQ 3 points 5 days ago (1 children)

I'm not entirely sure. In my state (one of the ones shown as "city"), Wikipedia has 942 cities/towns listed and of those only 25 have "city" in their names.

I'm tempted to keep going to see how many Lake, Mount(ain), 'ville, 'burg, etc there are.

I added NPR and PBS to my monthly donation list as well. I wonder how many others will contribute what they can now thanks to this investigation?

How are you actually doing today? in c/[email protected]

[–] SuzyQ 5 points 1 week ago

Past two weeks have been such a roller coaster that I don't even know. Thankfully I have therapy in the morning so I hope I can get the help I need to get this sorted. Things seem to be happening back to back to back that it feels, at times, that I don't get a chance to breathe.

How has your week been in the US? in c/[email protected]

[–] SuzyQ 3 points 1 week ago

Cold, and I'm sick with some sort of respiratory bug. Sore throat, cough, and occasionally sputum.

What food or item/brand did you use to love, but isn't around anymore? in c/[email protected]

[–] SuzyQ 2 points 2 weeks ago

Mr Green by SoBe. Tasted like Dr Pepper, but it was green, and was available in Pepsi vending machines after 7up brand split away from PeosiCo in vending machines (iirc it was because that was the time Sierra Mist came out).

In this context, TTS is Text To Speech which is an accessibility program for people who are visually impaired.

New Decksight update, plus funding time extended in c/[email protected]

[–] SuzyQ 3 points 2 weeks ago (11 children)

The creator mentioned why on the discord mentioned in the post above. The jist of the reasoning is cost.

That's completely fair. Not every mod for the steam deck is for everyone.

At the time of typing this, the goal was dropped to $50k USD (from $56k), extended the campaign to January 30th, and is 99% funded.

I know, reddit bad, but the creator is active in the r/SteamDeck discord server if anyone has questions.

Edit/update: project is now fully funded!!!

Portable monitor for steamdeck? (self.steamdeck)

submitted 10 months ago by SuzyQ to c/[email protected]

16 comments fedilink

I am in need of some help. I'm trying to find a good portable monitor for my steamdeck. I don't need it to be huge, 12inches minimum, but I'm not having much luck with my own research. I would like low latency, high refresh rate, and colors as close to the same as on the og LCD deck (which is what I have).

I have the official dock, so it would need to be able to connect through that as well.

Thanks in advance for any help!

I just started a reread and then found this community. I was wondering if we could get a timeline for when to have each book read by? I would love to participate and not comment on months old posts. 😬

Update to: Need help with Switch Parental Controls (self.NintendoSwitch)

Original post here: https://lemmy.world/post/1720916

Yes, different instance account but same user. I link all my instance accounts on my profile page for transparency.

FINALLY after months of frustration I have figured it out - and it was with the help of my 8yo (8 year old [child]). 8yo is the 7yo from my first post. A birthday came and went while figuring this mess out.

I believe this was a fault of the Microsoft parental controls with Minecraft, and various Minecraft online spin-off games, and NOT Nintendo's.

8yo added 6yo as a Cross-platform friend using 6yo's Xbox gamertag on Minecraft on their tablet. Then we all went through the hand mom your switches so she can type this mess out for you and they added each other as friends. Problem solved?! Nope. Not quite yet. This was step one.

Step two was me going into the Xbox Family app on my phone, and changing the following settings:

Decide if [redacted] can add friends without your approval ✅ Allowed
Choose who [redacted] can communicate with on Xbox Live ✅ Everyone

Under Minecraft specifically

See and upload community creations: Decide whose community creations [redacted] can see. Blocking this may affect whether [redacted] can upload their own creations to games. ✅ Everyone
Clubs: This lets [redacted] create, join, and follow clubs for all allowed games, including Minecraft Realms. ✅ Allowed

I had already allowed the Minecraft multiplayer option before and that alone didn't work.

I also set up everyone as a favorite friend, and they can all play together across Minecraft, Minecraft Dungeons, and Minecraft Legends on their switches.

I feel like this process was way too convoluted. There may be some options I turned on that don't need to be on, but I'm including what I did specifically on the off chance that there's another frustrated parent out there with multiple kids wanting to play local multiplayer on Minecraft on their switches while logged into their Microsoft account.
