Gotta point out, that hasn't been the Microsoft logo since Win7.

Ya got a problem with crusty old memes, kid?

The important thing was that I had an onion on my belt, which was the style at the time.

In my day kids respected their elder memes... They regularly shitposted them and people were grateful for those crusty memes.

Abe gets the upvote.

At least it's recognizable. Windows 12 will probably be just a single blue square.

Gotta point out, that meme template has been around before then.

Sorry, I think the last Windows I had installed anywhere was XP. I was like "which windows logo is that? should I look it up?" but then I was like "nah, fuck it".

They used to go for the Distort tool. Then, the Skew tool was all the rage. And now, they realized that Photoshop subscriptions are a ripoff and stopped using it altogether.

The meme itself must be a good 15 years old too

[–] ExLisper@linux.community 2 points 1 year ago

No, I just made it myself. It's brand new and shiny.

And how much does payroll add to my salary to use this shit at work so it can mine my data without consent? None.

If you're at work, it's not really "your" data. It's "your company's" data. And your company might be collecting even more data on you than Microsoft.

[–] cooopsspace@infosec.pub 1 points 1 year ago

You don't think the data from my user session is being collected by Microsoft?

I'm not just putting my company data into it, I'm putting my data into it too.

I tried to change to Thunderbird but I can't figure out how to make it work with my work e-mail. I'm wondering how much of that has to do with my work e-mail using office365. 🤔

We need more main stream apps and games for linux. That's the only reason I'm the on fence now.

[–] blind3rdeye@lemm.ee 2 points 1 year ago

What in particular do you feel like is missing? I mean, there's a lot of stuff on Linux already. There's no shortage of apps or games. But there might be some specific thing that you want that linux doesn't have.

“We just need to make sure that the data collection of your data collecting app is working on your data collecting OS so we’re gonna need to add some data collection on that.”
