  • In threads app, I clicked over to the profile tab (or, my account page, idk)
    Two unequal lines in the top corner (wtf, why isn’t it a hamburger menu-icon),
    Took me to a page called “<- Settings” (oh, uh, not sure how I got here without a gear icon; am I old now),
    Clicked down to “Account”
    And there should be an option, “Fediverse sharing beta”

    Am US based though. I’m not sure how meta filtered accounts they opened that feature to, if you don’t have it.



  • ikr, like fr, sometimes i think it’s because maybe i’m just, like, short, but wtf no joke, one of my closest friends rn is shorter than me and with my other friends, i still get treated like i was less mature?? one time one of my coworkers actually said that, not cool wth, and i feel a bit outcast when they all act like that, like, this is just how I talk, so why can’t they respect that i’m pretty much the same generation as you guys, i slouch just like they do, and sometimes they have even worse posture, but then like why do they have to low key drop these bad vibes on me, cause ong, it’s so demeaning when they say something slow like they think they’re being thoughtful, and maybe sometimes the nice people really are, but mostly they come across sarcastic and fake!!! but i can deal with, most of the time, idk

    Back into the spirit of c/NoStupidQuestions – follow up question! What do you think they believe Proper Adults act and speak like?


  • Were you able to move on from the interim fix with “safe graphics” btw?

    I’m stopping by only at this time cause I came in from your “get better at [arch]” post.

    Have you checked if your BIOS has some proprietary stuff that restricts it to use only particular hardware? If nah, ignore me, my bad.
    Not the same situation but similar - I bought a former school desktop pc & had blank display issues. The pc wouldn’t accept using a different hdmi cable other than the first one I’d ever booted it up with - and even then, it would hang on the mobo logo. No one said turning off secure boot was a fix, but suggested it often enough that I checked the bios anyway. Lo and behold, there were multiple proprietary “security” features (not secure boot) in the bios that only allowed the pc to connect to approved devices or networks. Makes sense for a school/business. I didn’t care to find out how to whitelist “approved devices”, so I just turned off all the BIOS’s fancy security features.
