  • 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.

    Windows XP, with Windows 10+ terminal, using Linux directories.

    Though if you look at the internet taskbar icon it's a Windows 7/10+ icon, so it may all be a skin running on cygwin/wsl)

    Also the internet icon shows there is Internet.

    [–] [email protected] 12 points 8 hours ago

    I think that's just Win10 with RetroBar

    Macintosh Pus actually. At least I hope it’s a Plus. If they gutted a 128k or 512k that would be sad.

    Macintosh Pus? πŸ˜‚πŸ€£

    I'd leave the spelling error, I got a good laugh. πŸ‘

    *macintosh the Apple II’s monitor was separate of the drive

    [–] [email protected] 27 points 11 hours ago

    I bet it's just Linux with a skin.

    The Internet icon is a fucking liar, and if you don't agree with me you haven't been on enough networks.

    [–] [email protected] 6 points 11 hours ago

    What do you mean it's not a DNS error!

    [–] [email protected] 9 points 11 hours ago (1 children)

    Also the internet icon shows there is Internet.

    Looks to me like the icon that indicates the machine being connected to a network, but that network is not connected to the Internet.

    [–] [email protected] 4 points 11 hours ago

    "Connected to the Internet" is a spectrum from "no network interface available" to "can reach every server that people agree is 'online'". Is it enough to have a working TCP/IP stack, receive a ping reply from connectivitycheck.android.com (or other arbitrary server), or do you have to know if there's a firewall (like in China)?

    How in the world do you get a java exception in rust?? Also the invoking program is java

    [–] [email protected] 1 points 2 hours ago

    Well that makes sense

    [–] [email protected] 2 points 10 hours ago

    Maybe because of the color_eyre rust wrapper?

    windows fucking xp

    [–] [email protected] 64 points 12 hours ago (5 children)

    It’s the Windows taskbar. They used to let you move it to the top but had to remove that feature to support CoPilot.

    [–] [email protected] 1 points 1 hour ago

    yeah copilot did indeed conflict with the windows XP taskbar

    [–] [email protected] 3 points 7 hours ago

    StartAllBack restores this functionality. (It also allows you to arrange the taskbar icons and buttons any way you see fit, and even replace the entire Start menu with the one from Win7, 8.1, or 10.)

    I am a left side taskbar kind of guy. No room for me in default Windows either anymore.

    [–] [email protected] 30 points 12 hours ago (1 children)

    I hated this change, I've used a side taskbar in windows my entire IT career. It makes it painfully obvious which taskbar is yours and which is the servers when logged in over RDP. With this simple tweak, I had quite literally never made a click error on a remote server... Until windows 11.

    [–] [email protected] 9 points 12 hours ago

    that's a clever way to use it!

    I used to do this back before browsers had tabs and everyone I told thought I was nuts for doing it, now I just don't care.

    I completely missed the taskbar at the top. Thought the guy was wondering what the 3.5 floppy drive was.

    Who the FUCK puts the xp taskbar at the TOP!?

    [–] [email protected] 7 points 10 hours ago

    I’ve had top taskbar auto hide since Win95.

    MacOS got it right back in 1984 but Windows insisted on doing it wrong like an edgy teen wearing their baseball cap to the side.

    Yeah - Windows Terminal isn’t supported on XP

    Needs more Hannah Montana.

    [–] [email protected] 11 points 12 hours ago

    The problem is you're using Bukkit.

    Cool Retro Term has finally added hardware support. They even included the vertical wrap-around when a capacitor is about to pop!

    [–] [email protected] 6 points 12 hours ago (1 children)

    top-aligned taskbar like a heretic

    [–] [email protected] 4 points 10 hours ago

    My waybar/polybar is up there, not sure it qualifies as a taskbar but if so I'll have you know it's feelings are hurt.

    [–] [email protected] 6 points 12 hours ago

    Sweet monitor frame! Where can I get one of those.
