— Argh, all right…
@iska@mstdn.starnix.network I don't think original st had that, that's why I asked 😉
Original st is so fast that I prefer it as a default term, I only use patched st for mutt to have color emojis.

Yeah! Not just US and Canada, it looks like mankind as a whole went back to teenage ways of dealing with problems. That's pretty bad, but I'm sure we'll live through that.

@iska@mstdn.starnix.network Oh, I see. Pywal is cool, I've given up using it as I spent too much time theming and found a look that I could stick with for long🤣
Does your st support transparency or is it just a background picture?

They've made the button visible again in 8.1 and they've made a setting in Windows 10 to make it look more XP-like and with Windows 11 look almost as horrible as Windows XP did. So I'm back to linux-based opetating systems. Good thing, there is #VoidLinux now so I don't have systemd and I don't have to fsck around with it all day like I did with Gentoo 🤭
@safiuddinkhan@fosstodon.org
I was like: "Wow, there is no Windows95-style Start (I really hated that) anymore, now it's full screen and there are huge buttons for your favourite applications and if it's not there, you can just type it's name! That it what an application launcher should look like!"
But everyone else hated it so MS decided to "make Windows great again" and removed all things I likes. It was getting worse with every major Windows version.
@safiuddinkhan@fosstodon.org Windows 8 was the first Windows I was running on my computers in a long time. I didn't like iOS and I just hated Android so I've tried a Windows Phone 7 based Lumia. The battery life was horrible so I've returned it, but I liked the tiles. So when Windows 8 consumer preview images became available and I've tried that.
@safiuddinkhan@fosstodon.org For me it was almost the exact opposite 😅
No, of course I've used Windows 95 along with OS/2 Warp — and many did, Windows wasn't THAT mainstream at the time. Maybe even Windows 98, but not anything beyond that. A friend of mine gave me a RedHat CD (It was so long ago, there was no RHEL, it was just RedHat), told me it was the new cool free UNIX-like thing and I went with that. In 2000s Mac OS X got released, I liked Apple hardware so I switched to Macs.
@iska@mstdn.starnix.network Oh, maybe it does that now, I don't know. I've just set that var in my .profile and forgot about it.
You can make sure it does by opening "about:support" the Graphics section should show whether it uses wayland or not.
Maybe there is an url like that for chromium-based browsers? 🤷🏿♀️
@jrballesteros05 @safiuddinkhan@fosstodon.org I think you could just disable autorun with some registry setting and I believe it was there prior to XP.
@iska@mstdn.starnix.network @FrailLeaf It looks like colors are distorted. I have artifacts like that on ppc64be because some libs don't handle endian-ness correctly.
@yolo What's that in the farthest corner of her desk, does she still have a landline? What year is this?
I think I'll remove the rock she was living under all this time then 🤷
@mastodon I knew a girl once who really liked IBM's style: Thinkpads, rubberized mice, etc.
Apple's design wasn't crappy either at the time, MacBooks weren't "unibody" yet, but she liked Thinkpads more.
@Elecnurs3 @gabriel At least, according to the screenshot, they are honest about using it for mining, not selling the colony on Mars pipe dream. I can see how reusable rockets make mining possible, but I don't see a lot of technologies that bring us closer to supporting life on other planets. These are the same "sustainability" technologies that many don't want to hear about in their pursuit of climate change denial.

Just in case: DMs/PMs simply don't exist on this instance as concept — don't use them, use the other instance if you absolutely have to, or send an email to any address at m0xEE.Net or .Com or .Org, but I prefer keep most communication public.
