It should have been sorted by penis.

"there is no arrange by penis option"

What was that called already? Can't remember the name!

[-] MehBlah@lemmy.world 2 points 2 days ago

The website is down.

Since this seems like a preventable issue for me, I wanted to disable the Set As Desktop Background… option in Firefox.
That was not as straightforward as I thought it would be:

  • Settings: nope
  • about:config: nope
  • userChrome.css: The Internet, and LLMs tell you yes, but actually nope

What you have to do is create a policies.json file and put that somewhere…
Here is the deeply buried site from Mozilla about that. There you will find where to put it and all the options.

For this problem a short policies.json with the following content is enough:

{
  "policies": {
    "DisableSetDesktopBackground": true
  }
}

Why did I do this in the middle of the night instead of browsing ich_iel or I dunno sleeping. Who knows…

In a corporate environment where you care about such things, you really want to disable the functionality of the user setting the background in the operating system, not in a specific application. Otherwise, you're going to have to track down every application that includes this functionality, figure out how to disable it it in that application, and find a way to apply that change to every PC. (Microsoft's Photos app, for example, can set pictures as either background or lock screen.)

Instead of locking down the the ability to set the wallpaper via Firefox, just set a static image as the wallpaper via GPO. A company logo or something. Then it will apply at every restart.

MUSSSSTAARRRRRRRRRRRD

Leave Heather alone. There’s nothing wrong with this desktop background. Please refrain from remote connecting to her computer in the future.

[-] toynbee@lemmy.world 56 points 4 days ago

This is reminiscent of an absolute classic video.

If you are not familiar with a story about penis-arranged icons, I recommend giving it a watch.

Why do webbrowsers, file managers, always have the option "set as your desktop background" in a easy to accidentally click place in the context menu? No, i add it myself to the "backgrounds" folder if i care.

[-] smuuthbrane@sh.itjust.works 72 points 4 days ago

Heather doesn't lock her computer when she walks away. Don't be like Heather.

[-] NeatNit@discuss.tchncs.de 63 points 4 days ago

It sounds far more likely to me that she right-clicked on some image file and picked "Set as desktop background".

And this is why we have a GPO that locks the background to a corporate image.

[-] x00z@lemmy.world 15 points 3 days ago

I think it's nice if people can set their own background picture. They can put a picture of their pets or family members which lowers the stress.

A better policy would be to hire people who can actually do basic things with the thing they'll be working 8 hours a day with.

When you're working for Heinz, is it a mustard bottle?

Ctrl + Alt + Down

Now your bottle is ready to dispense delicious mustard

[-] bob_lemon@feddit.org 9 points 4 days ago

Only on laptops with Intel graphics where IT hasn't deactivated the unnecessary utility that comes with them.

[-] Evil_Shrubbery@lemm.ee 41 points 4 days ago* (last edited 4 days ago)

That font in the signature, the fax into, the mustard!!!

... and last but not least, how the icon placement accentuates the natural curves of that mustard bottle ...

( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

Here's my new "you left your computer unlocked" image

[-] almost1337@lemm.ee 14 points 4 days ago

My favorite was to screenshot the desktop, set that as the background, then move everything on it to a different folder.

[-] Honytawk@feddit.nl 6 points 3 days ago

Flip the image upside down and then flip the screen upside down as well so it looks normal. Except for the cursor, which will be upside down and moving in the wrong direction.

Crop to selection in Paint.net: ctrl + shift + x
Set as wallpaper in IrfanView: ctrl + shift + x

Happens to me all the fucking time.

[-] Appoxo@lemmy.dbzer0.com 18 points 3 days ago

Because you obviously need a shortcut to set a wallpaper lmao.

[-] entwine413@lemm.ee 29 points 4 days ago

We used to do this stuff to people who would leave their computers open, or flip the screen upside down.

It was a pretty benign way to teach people to lock their damn computers when they left.

[-] Soapbox1858@lemm.ee 18 points 4 days ago

I used to take a screenshot of the desktop, set it as the wallpaper. Then hide all the desktop icons and set the taskbar to auto hide.

Microsoft removing CTRL - ALT and arrrow to turn the screen is a crime.

Are mustards in America classified by their colour instead of French, Dijon, English, Blow-Off-The-Top-Of-Your-Head, etc?

[-] Djinn_Indigo@lemm.ee 11 points 3 days ago

They're labeled by type; one of those types happens to just be called "yellow." It's smooth and vinegary. Good on hot dogs and burgers.

[-] Bytemeister@lemmy.world 1 points 2 days ago

Lies. The only reason I keep it around is to placate my friends and family who are afraid of real mustards.

[-] Sixtyforce@sh.itjust.works 8 points 3 days ago

No, yellow mustard is the cheap standard stuff. The rest exist in NA too.

[-] irelephant@programming.dev 6 points 3 days ago

Not american, but in america I'm pretty sure mustard is just yellow dye.

[-] NigelFrobisher@aussie.zone 2 points 2 days ago

Heh heh, Americans will finish posting their “British food” memes and then go back to squirting flavourless yellow paste onto a bag of par-boiled ground pigdick.

[-] sudo@programming.dev 4 points 3 days ago

There are zero artificial ingredients in yellow mustards.

Vinegar, Water, Mustard Seed, Salt, Tumeric, Paprika.

All the color is from tumeric.

French

English

Naming them by the country of origin is almost equally odd to me. You literally mentioned Dijon, which is also French. So wtf is French mustard supposed to mean. There's probably dozens or hundreds of French mustards.

and of all the amazing mustards available, she had to get stuck with one of the most shitty vinegary last-resort-only option

[-] Zizzy 19 points 4 days ago

As a mustard lover, heinz isnt even close to the actual worst one, which is the whole foods brand mustard. Its made with apple cider and it is revolting. The best widely available yellow mustard to just grab in a store is plochman's.
