App for lyrics and chords that I can tap and turn the page?

App for lyrics and chords that I can tap and turn the page? - Lemmy.World

I’m trying to find the optimal setup for me but I’m struggling with it, I’d love to hear your suggestions. - I wanted something that I can have a lyrics data bank for me to use offline if I need to. - I wanted to be able to tap and flip the page… not scroll. Scroll requires me to be precise on the move during a song… can’t do it. A pedal would work but this is for me to play at campfires and stuff, I don’t want to carry a Bluetooth pedal around. I downloaded Ultimate Guitar and it’s good in the sense that it has a lot of songs… but the autoscroll sucks because sometimes there’s a section in the middle with details of a riff and I don’t want to do that so I have to stop and move the song forwards. I guess if there’s an app that would download the lyrics/chords and keep it on the phone and another that simply reads files and I can tap and turn a page, that would work as well… How do you guys do it?

Chickens coming home to roost, finally.

Brazil police seizing Bolsonaro passport, arresting close aides

Brazil police seizing Bolsonaro passport, arresting close aides - Lemmy.World

BRASILIA, Feb 8 (Reuters) - Brazil’s federal police on Thursday sought to confiscate former President Jair Bolsonaro’s passport and arrest some of his closest aides, sources said, as part of an investigation into an alleged coup attempt after he lost the 2022 election. The operation reflects a tightening net around Bolsonaro, his family and some of his most powerful allies for actions before and after his unsuccessful reelection effort. The confiscation of his passport will be especially worrying for the former president, a far-right firebrand who cast himself as a Brazilian version of former U.S. President Donald Trump.

Beelink or Steam Deck for work/gaming on RV? - Lemmy.World

Hey all, I want to upgrade the setup that I use on my RV, and also use I use a Raspberry Pi 3 for basically watching videos and some retro gaming. I want to be able to play more resource-intensive games, although definitely do not require anything AAA in the highest settings - I’m talking about Starcraft 2, Shieldwall, TABS, Humankind… basically anything that runs fine on my 4-year old System76 Gazelle, that has a GeForce GTX 1650 card. I thought I had to upgrade it to a mini PC and I was looking into some Beelink ones with good GPUs, but then I realized the existence of handhelds like Steam Deck and ASUS ROG Ally. What appealed to me is their lightness when compared with a mini PC. Right now I have a Command strip on my Raspberry Pi and I just stick it to the wall; I was trying to avoid mounting yet another thing on the shabby wooden beam of the trailer where I have the TV screen mounted. However, the Pi and the Beelink seem to be better suited for connections - by that I mean the external USB drive where I keep my movies and series, the joystick dongles for our pair of GameSir T4s… if I understand correctly, the dock is what provides this sort of connectivity to the Deck, which means I can’t just hang it in any way, it would have to be sitting on the dock, mounted somehow to the wall. That is doable, but I’ve read as well that connecting USB drives is not very straightforward (I do plan to install Ubuntu on the Deck and use the software I want, not the interface that comes with it). Am I wrong in any of these things?

Driving instructor is telling my mom to actively use the car's rear camera to parallel park, does that sound acceptable?

Driving instructor is telling my mom to actively use the car's rear camera to parallel park, does that sound acceptable? - Lemmy.world

DriveTest.ca [http://DriveTest.ca] website even says the camera shouldn’t be used for assisting, but this guy seems to want her to look at the tracing drawn by the rear camera to calculate the positioning and the turns she’s supposed to make. That sounds crazy to me. Should she look for another instructor? She was recommended this one by colleagues in her ESL school.
