This is what I do too. If I edit a post, I'll comment on any replies to let them know that the post has been changed too though, especially if a conversation has started.

Be kind to yourself. You're in a new city in a new country, where everything's similar to what you know, but different enough to be confusing, and you're doing it to make sure that your family is safe. I would imagine that you're tired from the move, the travel, and the job search, but you're still making an effort to put your daughter first.
I don't post a lot here, but I lurk most days, and from what I've read, you seem like a good guy. Take a breath and take care of yourself too, you'll get there :)
Do you know which area you're going to end up living in yet? The reason I ask is because there are services aimed towards kids with autism and ADHD, where they can meet other kids in the same situation, and potentially make friends. They're obviously focused on their own areas though, and as far as I know, don't put the kids in touch with kids from other areas.
There can be a stigma around groups like these, as people assume that it's only people with more severe issues who need them, but my nine year old has been going to one for several years, and for most of the kids it's just somewhere where they don't have to mask. It's really helped my kid to have an outlet away from school, and to meet other 'different' kids. I haven't looked at the groups for older kids yet, but I'd be surprised if there wasn't a provision.
Something else that might be useful for you both, are the various coffee mornings that have sprung up since Covid. They tend to be aimed towards helping with mental health, but a lot of them are more like an excuse to get out of the house and meet people. I visit one once a week which is run by Signpost Cymru, a mental health charity, so it means that they've got access to mental health resources if anyone needs them. It's very handy, and like I said, gets me out of the house for a few hours and talking to people I wouldn't have otherwise met.
I believe that WD40 helps to break down the glue, but its been a while since I've had to remove stickers.
More importantly though, don't remove them with your bare hands. There were posts over on Reddit about a year or two back where far right stickers had been put up with razor blades under them, so that anyone trying to remove them would cut their fingers.
It was Reddit, so there's a decent chance that the post was bullshit, but why risk it?
Do you have individual switches for each plug socket / outlet wired next to the door? That seems like it would take a lot of wiring, and need a lot of switches.
The room I'm currently in has six double sockets spread out around the room. They each have one switch per socket like in the post's image. If they were wired back to the door, they would need a lot more wiring, and one of the two entrance doors would have to be chosen. You'd then have to walk to that door every time you wanted to turn something off.
It seems like a lot more work for no real benefit.
I've only just set it up, mainly for the facial recognition. I had no idea that it could do that type of search too. It's going to be really helpful with my faulty brain and not remembering words ๐
Ah, ok. I wasn't sure how much was spam and how much was just people who don't know how to crosspost.
Christ, you could have put a warning! I'm going to need to sit down with a cup of tea ๐ฑ
Apart from the two posts asking why your posts have been downvoted, you've got seven posts, and six of those are the same photo. That comes across as spamming to a lot of people, especially if you post them at roughly the same time. They're possibly appearing on people's feeds one after the other.
It hasn't happened much on Lemmy yet as far as I've seen, but Reddit was full of posts that were deliberately spammy, where girls would post the same photo to loads of subreddits, and have a link to paid content either in the post or their bio. As you can probably imagine, people get used to downvoting those posts almost reflexively.
You might want to consider either publishing less posts in one go, taking multiple photos and changing them up over your posts, or looking at cross posting. You still post to lots of communities, but it doesn't come across as spammy.
Good luck, and welcome to Lemmy ๐
That would be brilliant, thank you :)
I meant to open an issue this morning, but haven't had any time to myself today. db0 raised these issues for Tesseract, if that helps:

Thanks again :)

My PC looks like ultrahamster's too, so still quite big. In the comments, the emojis are a bit smaller, but still bigger than the regular ones. I'm not getting anyhting like the issues from TherapyGary's Raccoon screenshot though, so that might be a separate issue.
I've just quickly checked using the Tesseract site, and the emojis there are pretty much the same size as standard, and nothing like any of our screenshots.
I'll let the admin know on dbzer0 and point them to this thread. Hopefully we can figure out the problem :)
Went out on a rare clear night to a wetlands near me to take some photos of the stars. As it was so dark, and the stars are so small, I had to rely on the focus peaking function of my camera to tell if the stars were in focus or not.
I've got home and started to process the photos, and I've found out that despite the camera telling me that they were in focus, they clearly weren't.
Hey ho, what's a wasted few hours in the freezing cold between friends...
