Community rules (click to expand)

1. Follow the site-wide rules

2. Be civil
  • Understand the difference between a joke and an insult.
  • Do not harrass or attack users for any reason. This includes using blanket terms, like "every user of thing".
  • Don't get baited into back-and-forth insults. We are not animals.
  • Leave remarks of "peasantry" to the PCMR community. If you dislike an OS/service/application, attack the thing you dislike, not the individuals who use it. Some people may not have a choice.
  • Bigotry will not be tolerated.
  • 3. Post Linux-related content
  • Including Unix and BSD.
  • Non-Linux content is acceptable as long as it makes a reference to Linux. For example, the poorly made mockery of sudo in Windows.
  • No porn, no politics, no trolling or ragebaiting.
  • 4. No recent reposts
  • Everybody uses Arch btw, can't quit Vim, <loves/tolerates/hates> systemd, and wants to interject for a moment. You can stop now.
  • 5. πŸ‡¬πŸ‡§ Language/язык/Sprache
  • This is primarily an English-speaking community. πŸ‡¬πŸ‡§πŸ‡¦πŸ‡ΊπŸ‡ΊπŸ‡Έ
  • Comments written in other languages are allowed.
  • The substance of a post should be comprehensible for people who only speak English.
  • Titles and post bodies written in other languages will be allowed, but only as long as the above rule is observed.
  • 6. (NEW!) Regarding public figuresWe all have our opinions, and certain public figures can be divisive. Keep in mind that this is a community for memes and light-hearted fun, not for airing grievances or leveling accusations.
  • Keep discussions polite and free of disparagement.
  • We are never in possession of all of the facts. Defamatory comments will not be tolerated.
  • Discussions that get too heated will be locked and offending comments removed.
  •  

    Please report posts and comments that break these rules!


    Important: never execute code or follow advice that you don't understand or can't verify, especially here. The word of the day is credibility. This is a meme community -- even the most helpful comments might just be shitposts that can damage your system. Be aware, be smart, don't remove France.

    Is this the tiling manager people talk about all the time?

    Is this the tiling manager people talk about all the time?

    Ye, Microsoft's Head of Monetization, Nolan Sorrento, calls it "Pure O2."

    [–] ad_on_is@lemm.ee 15 points 8 months ago

    It's called "adsomeWm"... highly un-customizinle.

    [–] FQQD@lemmy.ohaa.xyz 11 points 8 months ago

    Bold of you to assume you still get a desktop in between all the ads.

    [–] tpihkal@lemmy.world 41 points 8 months ago

    It should be off in a corner or something. Not front and center where it's blocking the main ad.

    [–] Imgonnatrythis@sh.itjust.works 28 points 8 months ago (3 children)

    Yeah, those ads are way to easy to ignore. Hopefully the working space randomly shifts tiles so your attention shifts periodically to the ads!

    [–] Diplomjodler3@lemmy.world 11 points 8 months ago (2 children)

    And you get jingles every few minutes that you can't turn down or mute.

    [–] InternetCitizen2@lemmy.world 9 points 8 months ago (1 children)

    Makes you sing and dance jingle into webcam.

    [–] Diplomjodler3@lemmy.world 12 points 8 months ago (1 children)

    If you don't sing enthusiastically enough, your files are deleted.

    Yeah, as if the desktop was the product

    [–] Diplomjodler3@lemmy.world 10 points 8 months ago (1 children)

    If you use Windows, you are the product.

    [–] slax@hometech.social 7 points 8 months ago (1 children)

    @Diplomjodler3 @Ophioparma finished building my PC proceeded with installing Windows 11. Realized my failure. Installed PopOS. Life is so much better now.

    This is less intrusive than current web ads. The entire center of the screen is ad-free, no pop-ups, no banners that grey out the rest of the screen, no paywall...

    [–] Rolando@lemmy.world 14 points 8 months ago

    In this image you could just put cardboard over all the ads to have an ad-free experience.

    You are an unfit mother. Your children will be placed into the custody of Carl's Jr.

    [–] Ophioparma@feddit.org 42 points 8 months ago (1 children)

    Quite optimistic view. Do you think they will be so nice and give you a completely unobstructed working area? I am pretty sure that contradicts every sane ad strategy. Where is the "Watch one minute of ads before we can start your application" window in the center? Where are the 5 identical buttons of which only one will get you to file explorer, the other ones lead to File Explorer Plus only for 5,99$ per week?

    You mean the complex mathematical Orbs powering your computer?

    [–] expatriado@lemmy.world 27 points 8 months ago (2 children)

    I still use my bought in 2012 Photoshop CS 6, almost daily, no plans to upgrade. If i need to keep one of my PCs with windows, i won't mind sticking to a old version for the long run

    [–] Imgonnatrythis@sh.itjust.works 14 points 8 months ago

    Cs6 was peak PS!

    [–] Zetta@mander.xyz 7 points 8 months ago

    GIMPs biggest upgrade in like a decade should be coming out this year, you'll have to check it out and see if it meets your needs when it does.

    Was this meme created in MSPaint on Wine?

    This copy/paste operation brought to you by Geico. Watch this 30 second ad to unlock your clipboard.

    Don't give them ideas!

    [–] Melvin_Ferd@lemmy.world 20 points 8 months ago (1 children)

    That's any future app. And the kick in the nards is that the developer who allow it earn like $2 a day if lucky. So we all get burned on the ad hellscape having hours of time wasted for $2

    [–] Zetta@mander.xyz 9 points 8 months ago

    Not open source apps, glad I've pivoted to almost entirely open source software. SaaS is cancer.

    The mouse has a slight bias that it moves just a little faster towards the edges.

    Can we somehow integrate ads into the display frame? Looks like dead and unused area to me.

    [–] TimeSquirrel@kbin.melroy.org 9 points 8 months ago

    And the decades long trend of minimizing screen bezel size suddenly reverses course.
