You know I can still see that you deleted the message, right?

I’ll be sure to follow your advice.

Windows is the best advertisement for Linux.

It’s truly a shame that most of the world got the short end of the stick here.

Also, I literally just updated to the newest version of One UI and I don’t really see what you mean by the similarity to Vista’s old task manager. If anything, it just made my color matching app icons look ugly. It even installed Gemini without my permission.

On the previous version, they looked like this:

I have to mention the fact that on the desktop version, sometimes when I turn off the feature that automatically plays videos when I hover over them, sometime later the feature gets re-enabled without my permission. I have no idea what could possibly trigger this, and it’s ONLY on desktop for me.

Am I just hallucinating? Or has this happened to someone else?

Definitely. People just had garbage computers.

I got a new computer a year after Vista came out. It came with Vista pre-installed. That thing lasted me 11 years, and the first three (2008-2011) WERE on Vista. That’s how much I liked it.

I like to devalue myself in front of everyone, that is literally part of my personality. No matter how much people try to compliment me, I’ll always call them liars and tell them that I’m actually garbage. Because being proud of not being proud of yourself is something nobody dares to do.

Ever wonder why I call myself Resol van Lemmy? Type that word backwards and you’ll know why. In fact, my profile picture is actually related to that very result.

Ok I broke the rule. But still.

I’ve said it somewhere earlier today, I’ll say it again here. I think Windows XP was bad, and that Vista was good.

But Windows in general is still absolute rubbish anyway.

Sad.

In my country, which is Morocco, the organ of love isn’t the heart, it’s the liver.

My mom sometimes calls me “lkbida diali” which just translates to “my liver”.

Lemmino. Wait, a Swedish YouTuber already uses that name.

I don’t listen to podcasts that much, but I am a big fan of the Lingthusiasm podcast. I was actually introduced to it by none other than Tom Scott (although he doesn’t really host it himself).

What a shame. It’s almost like the biggest companies make the worst crap or something.

That too is pretty accurate.

I miss when it was a luxury. Pretty fun times if you ask me.

The Jerboa Lemmy client, and Mastodon’s official client. I think they’re both fine enough for my fediverse browsing needs.

While I am trying to use the internet less since the past 2 years or so, I will freak out if it ceases to exist completely.

“Be yourself.” is an excellent summary of your post description.

Fun fact: I deleted Twitter exactly 23 days before it was renamed to X. I was just tired of scrolling through drama.

“Dammit, my tape is stuck inside the VCR again!”

“99 cents for a song? Hell yeah. I’m never buying CDs again.” (A reference to the iTunes Music Store launch)

“I ran out of free AOL time. Better get another demo disc”

Speaking of AOL, “yo, what’s your AIM screenname?” (Replace “AIM” with your favorite messaging service at the time if you used that)

“Mom, can I have a PlayStation 2? -No. -But it plays DVDs.”

“Oh, I can’t wait to see the wonderful New York Twin Towers, I’m so excited for what’s coming!” (I was too young to even remember the concept of different countries existing so I had no idea what “America” even was, let alone being confused about 9/11)

“I got slimed. It was so. Much. Fun.”

“I’m so glad the United Kingdom won Eurovision, I can’t wait to see how the next year’s contest will turn out. Katrina was so amazing” (1997 was the last time the UK won)

“What a wonderful Saturday morning. Time to watch some cartoons.”

“My phone has a NiCd battery, and it’s almost out of juice so I can’t just plug it in because I will ruin the battery. I have to wait until it literally turns off.”

“Belgrade is the capital of Yugoslavia”

“Finally got my fresh new copy of Mac OS X. Time to see what’s it’s like.” proceeds to stay on OS 9 for a few more years

That’s all I can think of.
