  • I noticed a weird garbled screen yesterday on the login page only, my main lemmy instance was down for a while so I went to add my backup.

    Basically I jumped to a password manager quickly and when I went to paste it into the connect login box it went wacky.

    Not a huge deal but yeah couldn’t read a thing but still managed to proceed.

    Edit: did it again just out of curiosity, yeah gives me a garbled login screen every time and I experimented a bit. (to me it’s not the end of the world as it really seems to only affect me on the login page I tried similar antics on other screens but never had an issue).

    Edit: About a week later and I’ve noticed this now on other screens if you app switch for a second. If I moved to a browser or something now I would just see weird characters when I switch back.




  • I’m actually quite happy with mine I don’t think it’s shown me a single ad, the only nuisance is it doesn’t stay connected to my WiFi and only joins when I launch an app or something.

    Its a Toshiba with Vidaa Os I think, not saying it’s perfect it has all the UK channel apps but not Stremio which I would like it to have.

    That said it hasn’t done a single thing ad wise to annoy me unlike my firetv cube.








  • Original x-com was great you had lots of research to do, bases to set up with defenses, manufacturing, storage, radars etc. Could make money from both loot and manufacturing your own products.

    Then there was intercepting UFOs with your fighters followed by the actual missions were you could use all your researched gear, get loot, capture Aliens to interrogate for more research and level up your soldiers.

    I still play the openxcom version now and again with various mods but yeah as a kid I used to play the original on the original PlayStation with its mouse and it’s without a doubt the game I’ve probably spent more time on than any other.

    Wasn’t a huge fan of the remade ones to me the original is the best one.






  • I was in the position I felt I had no choice they kept demanding things like non existent Facebook accounts, they wouldn’t tell me what I was accused off even it was just constant interviews at places harder and harder for me to get to. I was starting to go mad because I didn’t even understand why they had raided me in the first place.

    It cost me a lot more than I could afford to hire a barrister but I had the strong feeling I’d be jailed without even knowing why if I didn’t.

    But yeah the whole thing seemed to stem from one guys joke at somewhere I wasn’t.
