How do I help my acer? (i.imgur.com)

I don't know anything about gardening but I have a small patch of gravel out front where I like to keep some potted plants. My acer's leaves came back healthy after winter but as you can see it isn't doing too good now. I thought the crispy leaves might be because I let it dry out (I was ill for a couple weeks when we had some dry, sunny weather), but looking at the base I noticed this white stuff: https://i.imgur.com/2qc87P3.jpeg, not sure if it's scale or something else? Any ideas what I can do? I see a fair number of tiny bugs and ants in the soil but I'm not sure what's normal. I'm located in the UK, if that matters.

  1. Hollow knight
  2. Fallout 3

Don't think I can choose a 3rd place there's too many to pick from. FF7 was the first that came to mind.

I end up there from Google a lot, mostly because the other search results are usually ads or clickbait. I haven't posted or logged into my account since rif went down.

Nice! Is this from FanGamer? I might have to get one too. Although browsing hollow knight merch could be real bad for my bank balance...

Why does Playstation hold a special place in your heart? in c/playstation

Mainly the memory of the startup music on the PS1. I hope whoever designed it got a fat raise.

3rd party apps having issues since the attack? in c/nostupidquestions
[–] squigglemonster 5 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (2 children)

Thanks for the advice everyone. Cleared app data for Jerboa (and uh, found the login button.. /facepalm) and that fixed it. Liftoff I had to totally reinstall but now seems to be working fine \(･◡･)/

3rd party apps having issues since the attack? (self.nostupidquestions)
 

Since some instances were compromised earlier I've been able to access the desktop and mobile sites (just had to log in again) but can't get third party apps to work. Jerboa seems confused whether I'm logged in or not, some pages work and others give a 'not logged in' error - I don't see any option to log out or remove account from the app? Liftoff not working at all, I tried removing and re-linking my account but it's hanging when I try to sign in. Are the apps down for everyone just now, or is there something I can do to fix it?

PS. if anyone knows how to avoid Firefox crashing when using it to view Lemmy as a webapp (is that the right term??) please enlighten me because it crashes whenever I lock my phone or tab over to another app.

PPS. I hope it's okay to ask these kind of support questions here, if there's a dedicated tech support community please point me in the right direction, thanks!

Did anyone dislike Final Fantasy XVI? in c/games
[–] squigglemonster 5 points 1 year ago

I'm only part way through (a bit past bahamut) so I'm not fully qualified to comment on the game as a whole, and I'm avoiding reviews until I'm finished (also haven't played 14 or 15). So far I'm really enjoying it because it just has that Final Fantasy charm that squeenix are so good at. I love the world, the story is good (if leaning a bit too heavily on game of thrones for my liking), and the characters are likeable enough. Combat got fun once it clicked. That said...

There are a LOT of really obvious things to criticize. Over tutorialized, incredibly boring fetch quests, and progression systems that are wierdly linear and restrictive. It's frustrating because some small tweaks could make it so much better. Let me explore and discover quests for myself instead of witholding them until the game decides to make them available and then spamming me with notifications. Disable the on-screen quest markers or at least let me turn them off (the "animal instinct" feature is neat, don't need more than that). Let me upgrade my weapons past +2 and specialise them with elemental synergies so there isn't just one "correct" gear set to use at any given time. Give different merchants their own unique items to sell. Jill is an interesting character but is underused, that whole descent to the first crystal with Cid, and the cutscene that followed, she was barely given a single line. The titan fights are great ideas but not always fun to play, and too reliant on quicktime events which I thought we'd all agreed kinda sucked several years ago so idk why squeenix didn't get the memo.

But anyway yeah it's pretty and sometimes fun and I can pet the dog so it still gets a thumbs up from me I guess 乁( •_• )ㄏ

How many accounts do you have, and how do you manage them? in c/[email protected]
[–] squigglemonster 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

One on lemmy.world and one on kbin.social, because I wanted to try out both. I only use Lemmy, but I'll keep kbin as a backup in case there's any shenanigans with Lemmy in the future. And I still have my old Reddit account cause I can't bring myself to delete it, but that profile just points people to my Lemmy account.

What would be the problem if Threads federated with Lemmy&co in the future? (self.nostupidquestions)
 

I've seen a lot of comments suggesting Threads should be pre-emptively defederated by Lemmy/kbin instances if it tries to join us. I'm a bit confused what the problem would be. When Meta does its usual corporate bullshit over at Threads, how would that hurt a user or community based on Lemmy.world? If anything, wouldn't it give the fediverse a boost if Threads users start discovering communities outside of Meta's control?

I presume I'm missing something, as you can probably tell I don't fully understand how Lemmy, Threads or federation all work.

After 3.5 years I finally got Covid in c/[email protected]
[–] squigglemonster 1 points 1 year ago

I've somehow managed to avoid it despite working in a supermarket that didn't observe social distancing all through the pandemic. Or more likely had it asymptomatic and never noticed. I had my jag and two boosters, and just got another as part of a clinical trial, so hoping my luck continues to hold...

Will it ever be possible to move your account to a different instance? (self.asklemmy)
submitted 1 year ago by squigglemonster to c/asklemmy
3 comments fedilink
 

Given the nature of the fediverse it seems likely that at some point your average user may want to migrate between instances, - like say if your home instance suddenly gets defederated from others, or instigates rules that are too strict or too lax for your liking. Are there any plans in Lemmy's future to make that possible? I know it's trivial to make new accounts but I'm sure a lot of people, like me, enjoy having their online identity and post history all in one place.

Sorry for the potato quality, I think this was taken about 15 years ago. Since greyhounds can't sit comfortably we had to have dog beds and blankets in every room so he always had a cosy spot to lay in.
