Sick background. Is it some kind of coral photo or a cg render?

squid OP ,

Not sure, I assumed it to either micro organisation or coral

reddig33 , to technology in How do i stop this kind of pop up from ever appearing again? Win10

It’s like the Microsoft anti-trust trial in 2001 never happened.

Using W11 today, that’s my first thought too…It’s just ad after ad for Microsoft services. You will fucking install O365 or Microsoft will kill a kitten.

Can’t you install Windows 7 games package ? I did it with win 10 and I got all the solitaire, free cell, minesweeper, etc… without ads

It is not an official Microsoft package but you can find it easily on Internet.

X is trash anyway

I swear I now can’t tell whether people mean twitter or an arbitrary variable when they say X now…

Weyland’s taking forever, though.

gentooer ,

Wayland’s been pretty nice the 3-4 years I’ve been using sway

uglyduckling81 ,

I don’t see any of this. It’s probably because I ran christitus.com/windows-tool/ right after install.

I think it disables all the annoying parts of windows and you just get left with a stable OS.

dmmeyournudes ,

Mobile stole so many users from MS In the last 10 years that there is nothing the government could do about this.

Tbf I think it would be hard to win an antitrust case when they have like 1% browser share with edge

Guy_Fieris_Hair ,

A lot if things have changed since 2001. For example, the legal definition of “trust” when concerning giant corporations.

What’s the wm?

squid OP ,

Sway, refreshing after a long stint with KDE, I’m glad to be using something that doesn’t need a 100 dependencies to fuction

fyi “riced” is kinda racist terminology. It goes back to car culture from the 90s and always kinda made me uncomfortable even then.

squid OP ,

So what is the new terminology for the practice of theming a desktop

katie ,

Theming a desktop

Nakoichi ,
@Nakoichi@hexbear.net avatar

lol anything but that idk. It literally originates from racist stereotypes about Japanese cars and car culture though, just thought I would let you know

squid OP ,

Just looked into the terminology, as an Asian I don’t see it as that offensive if offensive at all when used for Linux theming

Nakoichi ,
@Nakoichi@hexbear.net avatar

might not seem that way at a glance but as someone that was into car culture in the 90s it definitely was and that’s where it carried over from.

squid OP ,

I don’t think it carries over. Its been reclaimed and now it has connotations of pride, ricing seems to of been an insult as the cars where cheaply and tackily fitted. My desktop and many others I’d seen “riced” looked far from cheap

Nakoichi ,
@Nakoichi@hexbear.net avatar

We literally had this whole argument play out before and I’m just standing by the fact it isn’t “reclaimed” because most of the people using it and defending it are white dudes. I am not going to criticize your use of it if you’re actually Asian but it’s not really worth trying to reclaim imo.

squid OP ,

I’m sure youll be having this argument a lot more

Nakoichi ,
@Nakoichi@hexbear.net avatar

Yes I will.

Jumuta ,

I get the feeling that the majority of lemmy users are either European or USean though

Crackering

“The act of tackily retheming a gui in an attempt to look like a 1337 hacker. Typically the preserve of young white males in the tech industry”

SaltyIceteaMaker ,

Give it a few years and people will complain about it because cracker is used as a racist term against white people (because our skin looks like a cracker)

Theming, customizing, personalizing, etc

ExLisper , (edited )

I thought it meant he spilled some water on it and had to put in a bag or rice. TIL.

pastermil ,

I’m Asian and I don’t even know or care. It’s a well accepted word with well-intended meaning. I even use that word from time to time.

Wat’s the OSK?

squid OP ,

Wvkbd, its serviceable in a pinch but will probably switch to gnomes vkb

wispydust517 ,

Nice - having tried wvkbd I would agree. How did you plan to use gnome’s vkb without gnome?

mariah , to linux in My riced surface pro 7

What wm

Sway

Cool. What keyboard r u using

Well we did but this is lemmy.ml, figured I would comment on it anyway because yeah it’s super fuckin racist lol.

flan ,
@flan@hexbear.net avatar

i thought it wasnt a hexbear thread? maybe it wasnt a lemmy.ml thread but they should know better.

squid OP ,

And why should I know of an obscur car culture slur?

Flyberius ,
@Flyberius@hexbear.net avatar

It’s ok to not know about it, but when you are made aware about it you are then presented with a choice.

It’s up to you if you want to carry on using the term despite knowing about it’s roots.

Nakoichi ,
@Nakoichi@hexbear.net avatar

Yo why is everyone mad about me calling drooling on the joint N-word lipping it? I didn’t know it was a slur I’m just trying to reclaim it.

giacomo , to linux in My riced surface pro 7

Clean rice. Nice.

burrito , to linux in My riced surface pro 7

Check out btop. It’s another system monitor like htop but it has a bit more info and I’ve been pretty impressed with it.

I have btop on my desktop, very pretty

Shut yo mouth. These crisps are the best.

Haven’t had a packet in years but I did really like these.

@ToxicDivinity@hexbear.net avatar

T bone flavor? I’ve never heard of a meat flavored chip. Were they salty? Doesn’t sound good

theKalash ,

Yeah, the Brits really love their weirdly flavoured chips.

merridew ,

Meat-flavoured crisps are common in the UK. Roast chicken, smoky bacon, and BBQ beef are routine for flavours.

Prawn cocktail crisps taste of prawn cocktail sauce… not of prawns.

ToxicDivinity ,
@ToxicDivinity@hexbear.net avatar

Roast chicken bbq and bacon make sense to me but not t bone

Mr_Blott ,

Probably not enough butter, salt and high fructose corn syrup for your delicate palate mate

ToxicDivinity ,
@ToxicDivinity@hexbear.net avatar

we just make our chips out of corn in murica

merridew ,

If you can imagine those, I’m sure you can imagine steak flavour. That’s all it is.

These steak-flavoured “bubbled chips” are suitable for vegetarians, which raises some additional questions.
