Would kiosk mode be any good for her use case? Add the photos etc. as a different user and give Grandma read only access, and automatically reset her home directory on boot / login.
Use an immutable distro to lessen the chance of her deleting something important, and you should be set. Maybe set up Firefox with sync so that she can add bookmarks, and have that log in automatically.
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.
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 🙂
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.
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 :)
If you don't mind me asking, how did you take it? I've tried taking similar photos a few times, but I'm getting too many reflections, even with a polarising filter.

Yes, sorry. I woke up in the middle of the night, but apparently my brain didn't...
I'll correct it now 👍
