My mom when she walks in and I'm just staring at the default Windows desktop

Win + d for the win

Like when your mum walks in and sees you masturbating to a blank MS word document.

[-] flubba86@lemmy.world 10 points 1 year ago

Like when your boss walks in and sees staring at a generic spreadsheet with an Xbox controller in your hand.

[-] SpaceNoodle@lemmy.world 34 points 1 year ago

Ah yes, since there's nothing you can do on a computer except for browse the Internet.

[-] OrangeXarot@sh.itjust.works 31 points 1 year ago

these days people use the browser for everything, in the end the computer is just wrapping the browser, you could make an operating system that is just a browser... wait a minute...

Soylent Green is people and The Cloud is someone else’s computer!

Do it! Profit!!

[-] Zaros@lemmy.world 34 points 1 year ago

This kinda happened to me once when she noticed my browser doesn't save history. I then spent the rest of the evening showing her how to do that on her browser as well as going through all the other browser settings, some extensions and themes (she picked one with purple and pink flowers).

That's so sweet!

And then your mom checks the access logs on the router which stores all of your visits in plain text. And why? Because you forgot to use cue vpn ad

[-] veroxii@aussie.zone 7 points 1 year ago

That's their own fault for skipping past all the YouTube sponsorship infomercials.

Plot twist: You used celular instead of wifi

[-] OneMansTrash@lemmy.ml 27 points 1 year ago

Imagine being young enough that your parents know what browser history is 😬

Inb4 "stfu millennial" or something? 🤔

[-] llama@midwest.social 8 points 1 year ago

My parents thought MSN messenger would store all conversation logs even if I turned that feature off. They ended up paying somebody to scan the hard drive for something that didn't exist.

I openly do all my browsing incognito, because otherwise I end up with so many tabs that Firefox just displays a ∞ for the number

[-] AlligatorBlizzard@sh.itjust.works 14 points 1 year ago

The one thing I actually like about chrome is if you end up with over 99 tabs open on mobile it displays :D as the number.

[-] poppy@lemm.ee 2 points 1 year ago

I’ve reached the cap on safari tabs before 🥲

[-] Cfrolich@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago
[-] poppy@lemm.ee 3 points 1 year ago

Safari on mobile caps at 500, and I hit that limit.

[-] asexualchangeling@lemmy.ml 11 points 1 year ago

I do this whenever I'm on someone else's computer, it means I can sign in to whatever and not have to worry about signing out later, super convenient

[-] psycho_driver@lemmy.world 14 points 1 year ago

Mom's just happy you didn't stumble upon her MILF stuff

[-] clearedtoland@lemmy.world 12 points 1 year ago

I have a friend that had this happen to them. It was devastating to see their parents like that.

[-] ItsABarmcake@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago

That's what they told you? 🤔

My mom would call home and if she got a busy signal so many times throughout the day we were busted. Dial up sucked ass.

[-] Agent641@lemmy.world 6 points 1 year ago

I was playing the maze game on screensaver

"Mom this browser doesn't recorded a history to protect me from companies tracking me online."

[-] Novman@feddit.it 5 points 1 year ago

Someone saves history?

[-] llama@midwest.social 4 points 1 year ago

On windows 98 before clearing Internet history was a thing I knew how to do, I would just click log off and login to Windows under another random username.

[-] BlinkerFluid@lemmy.one 2 points 1 year ago

Hm, curious!

[-] akariii 2 points 1 year ago

I made Firefox focus on my phone my default browser so everything opens directly on it. If I know I will need something later, I will select open in... and Firefox. that way I keep away the cluther of 200+ tabs opened at the same time
