I saw Nubo mentioned in a thread a while back but there were only a few comments. Does anyone use Nubo? What has your experience been like?

Flat earthers, what's on the bottom of the flat Earth?

Edit: how do we "know" the bottom half isn't round? Like half a lemon that's been cut in half

I spilt some water on my deck earlier today. Mainly on the screen and touch pad and joystick. I'm a little worried some may have gotten into the vent on top. I dried it off ASAP. I powered it off and stuck it in some rice.

The screen didn't glitch or anything which I think is a good sign. Anyone want to guess how screwed is my deck?

Edit: Thank you all for the advice! I took it out of the rice before I left for the day. I'm going to open it up tomorrow and see if there is any visible wetness and then maybe try turning it on. I hope y'all had a good day!

I was dumb and was hoping he couldn't win. I want to get a passport. I have an old one I could renew, but it has my dead name and old gender marker. Has anyone renewed their passport after a name change gender marker? Or should I just apply for a new one in person?

What's your relationship like with your grandparents?

My grandma passed last weeek. I've been thinking about my relationship with her and my other grandparents. My family and I visit them on holidays and they were nice enough. But I don't feel like I knew my grandma or know my other grandparents.

I think my family is weird maybe? Idk it's the only one I know lol. We'd talk about tv and movies we've watched recently. What they watched. Tell the grandparents what was going on in our lives. Ask about what was going in grandma and grandpas life. Mostly get answers like "same old same old", tales of doctor visits, or NCIS.

But like who are they as people? What were dreams when they were young? what adventures have they been on? what sparks joy in their life? What struggles have been through?

Like if I had to describe my grandmother I'd say she was a nice, pleasant lady who was mostly kind and liked cats, but not enough to get her own, just fed the neighbors cat. A description a stranger could give after meeting her talking for a bit maybe.

Looking back at my relationship with my grandparents, it all feels surface level. I never shared any of the hard shit I was dealing with, never really vulnerable around them. They were never vulnerable around me.

I don't know many details of their life beyond career, maybe the places they've lived, pets they've owned.

Maybe that's a reflection on my parents. We were never really vulnerable with each other about stuff, when someone was it was often mocked. My parents were not good parents a lot of the time. Who knows maybe that's a result of their parents?

But umm yeah, Lemmy what's your relationship like with your grandparents? Are you real close? Do you know them well, or more like a coworker you enjoy occasionally small talking with? Or rotten shitbags? I wish I knew my grandma better.

My GF recently said I can install Linux on her laptop. Then I saw Windows broke dual boot systems.

Is it safe to do a dual boot if she already has the update that broke dual booting?

Should I just figure out how to install Windows in a VM for her?

Appreciate any insight y'all can offer

Anyone know of good FOSS and privacy friendly text to speech apps for Android? Want to listen to my notes

Don't Melt My Wet Dreams

I installed Dragon's Dogma Dark Arisen (bought from GOG) via the Heroic Game Launcher to an SD card on my steam deck. Game runs fine except for there is a connection failure pop up anytime I try to access the rift to hire pawns and when 1st loading a save file.

I've reinstalled it. I've tried protons 7, 8, and GE. Rebooted the deck. Has anyone run into this issue before? Any help would be much appreciated!
