Ha, definitely a small world. Mine’s a 55UF770V.
My 9 year old LG smart TV (WebOS, but never connected to the network) will occasionally “overlay” RGB colour artifacts over the entire screen. There’s no pattern of time, day, on duration, HDMI source, etc.
It just occasionally happens, probably once every month or two. Putting it into standby and back on again fixes it every time. 🤷🏻♂️
Doesn’t Lemmy let users block instances? So no issue here.
The problem seems to be with Mastodon (and possibly others like Pixelfed, Bookwyrm, etc), which I think is controlled at instance level. Fortunately, the admin of the Mastodon instance I’m on has defederated Threads.
I always refer to it as Xitter or Xchan. I’m yet to encounter someone who doesn’t know which fallen brand I’m referring to.
There are a range of aphorisms about you being who you spend time with. I think it’s accurate.
Surround yourself with intelligent friends, in different domains of knowledge, and everyone’s lives are enriched.
I once saw some great advice saying we should celebrate when someone mispronounces a word: it means they learned it from reading.
It reminded me of a time when my uncle was barely literate and pronounced the word ‘esoteric’ as ‘ee-SOTTER-ick’. I realised what had happened, but didn’t really know how to correct him, then found a way to say the word myself in the flow of the conversation.
He never mispronounced it again, and there was no uppity nephew embarrassing his uncle. In the years since he’s published a number of books, so couldn’t be happier for him.
None. And any that were damaged by it were pedo guys and it never happened.
