You use desktop icons?

strongarm ,

Never use your desktop to store shortcuts, unless they are very temporary, and then clear up often.

You have a taskbar and start menu to organise and find everything you need, you can even do startup applications.

Lizardking27 ,

My dude what do you think a desktop is for?

AnUnusualRelic ,
@AnUnusualRelic@lemmy.world avatar

Wallpapers, obviously. And cool widgets.

strongarm ,

Keeping what you’re working on available.

It’s not a fileing system

Lizardking27 ,

Buddy I hate to break it to you but that’s not what desktops are for at all. Desktops are to make available to you any or all tools that you utilize regularly and to which you require easy access.

That being said, it’s your desktop and you are more than welcome to use it however you prefer.

some_guy ,

That’s pretty funny! Thanks for making me smile.

Legit makes my day to make someone smile :)

elrik ,

That’s awesome - nice work!

AA5B ,

Instead of fixing the symptom, maybe you could address the underlying problem of all that clutter on the desktop. ….or pin it somewhere it won’t be encroached by new files

Nelots ,

It’s pinned to the taskbar. If my own father is anything to go by, trying to clean up their desktop is a futile and temporary effort.

GreyEyedGhost ,

There are at least twice as many icons s on his desktop as on mine!

Master ,

All of those files look very important and need to stay where they are…

MonkderDritte ,

…then he complains i made a mess.

ILikeBoobies ,

It is pinned to the taskbar

Also the first icon in column 4

Can you share the background?

Thank you! I don’t know what I’ll put in the middle yet, that’s such a big decision

Godspeed.

blind3rdeye ,

Cool picture. But Chrome? Why?

Hiro8811 ,

This meme is old as fuck, he has GTA SA and windows 7

orphiebaby ,

Not all the pointing people are old memes.

DreamlandLividity ,

GTA SA is dope even today :D

Hiro8811 ,

I know, finished the story again a few days ago

DreamlandLividity ,

Its been a long time since I finished the story, I mostly played multiplayer

Malfeasant ,

I remember that being the one where you can headshot someone and their head explodes with a spurt of blood and their arms reach up and flail around briefly before they die… Wonder why they didn’t keep that around with the later sequels? Oh and finding the double ended purple dildo in the police station…

It’s like a “water this way” sign in the middle of a desert. The better solution is to get Librewolf and replace the icon with a Chrome one.

Custodian1623 ,

Good way to end up with passwords written on sticky notes

Spendrill ,

Needs this to be in the middle.

HenriVolney ,

Bonus point if you replace Chrome with Mozilla!

BenchpressMuyDebil ,

Insallah my brother in the Firefox jihad

sebsch ,

Just change the icon to the chrome ones.

ManniSturgis ,

Didn’t think about icons being on a grid, eh? Whoever made this had to turn it off to place the Chrome icon there. Amateur move

TastyWheat ,

I’d nearly forgotten all about Vista.

jol ,

This looks like windows 7

AtariDump ,

The start button whose circle is larger than the start menu gives it away that it’s probably Windows Vista

jol ,

You could shrink it in 7 to do that to if I recall

benderbeerman ,

If you really wanted to have a good time, you could screen-shot everything as is and make that the desktop, then put all the real shortcuts into a folder on the desktop anywhere and watch the fun ensue

Eta: for extra entertainment, don’t forget to hide the Taskbar

GreedyYardHippos ,
@GreedyYardHippos@kbin.social avatar

The shortcut was at the tip of the penis

Thrickles ,

I understood that reference.

BottleOfAlkahest ,

It looks like he has chrome pinned to his task bar in the bottom left.

Kolanaki ,
@Kolanaki@yiffit.net avatar

There is also a second desktop icon in the upper left, in the 3rd column.

TwoBeeSan ,

You cannot make enough shortcuts for the elderly.

CaptKoala ,

You can, but a desktop composed of entirely shortcuts to chrome I suspect wouldn’t be enough.

firefox, and get an adblocker on it

parpol ,

Firefox is a much easier icon to find.
