This is my desktop. I have ADHD. I also have too many tabs open.

Try this with Windows 98, it'll be a 15min boot time guaranted

This ruined my day

Doesn't have to be, I know plenty of people who use their desktop as their file system.

[-] spankmonkey@lemmy.world 58 points 4 days ago

The best part of multiple desktops is increased file storage limits!

[-] donuts@lemmy.world 15 points 4 days ago

Lmao I gotta try this with a coworker, they are always complaining they have too many files on their desktop (a problem they create themselves)

I had a professor in university who didn't use the grid layout and even had icons overlapping each other to fit more stuff on the desktop. It was wild

"You can't arrange the icons by penis"

[-] LaunchesKayaks@lemmy.world 4 points 4 days ago

I fucking hate that that is a thing that can be done. I've seen it a few times and it drives me crazy

[-] SCmSTR 4 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago)

Did you know that you can have windows not show icons? It's great, since everything wants to default to "desktop"

[-] kryptonianCodeMonkey@lemmy.world 22 points 3 days ago

I think my mom's desktop has overflown onto this poor fellow's.

[-] MehBlah@lemmy.world 9 points 3 days ago

There is a guy who needs arrange by penis.

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

I honestly thought I was the only person who remembered that video existed.

[-] MehBlah@lemmy.world 2 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago)

A lot of us remember it. If you are a sysadmin you remember it. I've been a sysadmin for twenty eight years and working for living in IT for thirty five. Sales 'dudes' are the worst. They are just puffed up blowhards with little or no intelligence. the only talent they have is lying to people.

Case in point from personal experience.

I put wireless in a Chevy dealership one time as a side job. Every time apple came out with a update for the iphone they(the sales weenies) would complain it was slow. They just couldn't understand that the problem was on apples end. I drew them a diagram one time and they said that it didn't matter they paid me for fast internet. I ended up calling the owner of the dealership and told him I would be out to remove the AP's and refund him. He asked why and I told him about the weekly calls about how it was my fault it wasn't fast enough for them. He told me don't worry about it and he would take care of it. A year or so later one of the AP's 'somehow' defaulted to factory and had to be added back to the controller. When I got there the sales weenies went out of their way to ignore me. It was the AP in the main showroom where the sales offices were. Its no mystery that one of the half wits did a factory reset on it.

What a world, huh?

So, you just woke up and chose violence?

On a Sunday morning?

[-] fullsquare@awful.systems 34 points 4 days ago

he paid for entire screen and he's gonna use entire screen

[-] retrolasered@feddit.uk 26 points 4 days ago

Plot twist, its a wallpaper

[-] Kataelyna@lemmy.world 4 points 3 days ago

I actually made a wallpaper like this by moving icons and screenshotting until the whole screen was filled. Was funny trying to figure out which shortcuts were the real ones. Now I have enough stuff that I don't need to fake it. The trick is to have everything important in the taskbar, the rest is just there to fill space.

[-] Bakkoda@sh.itjust.works 5 points 4 days ago

And the icon names are the lyrics to a specific song

[-] mkhopper@lemmy.world 19 points 4 days ago

He had them all arranged by penis until web dude came along

[-] vala@lemmy.dbzer0.com 12 points 4 days ago

Eww, windows?

[-] LaserTurboShark69@sh.itjust.works 17 points 4 days ago

Every coworker I've ever had

[-] beeng@discuss.tchncs.de 12 points 4 days ago

Basically an iPad

[-] tiredofsametab@fedia.io 8 points 3 days ago

Gross. My home PCs have just the recycle bin. My work mac nothing (except the brief moment screenshots get put there because before I move them someone at Apple is a monster)

[-] aeternum 6 points 3 days ago

You know you can change where screen shots go on Mac right?

[-] tiredofsametab@fedia.io 5 points 3 days ago

I thought I looked at some point, but I might be misremembering. I hadn't used a mac in literally 20+ years when I started at this job (and hate using mac, but that's another story), so I might also have missed something obvious. Looking in the settings now, though, nothing comes up for screenshot, screen shot, or screen capture (aside from keyboard shortcut settings).

[-] aeternum 3 points 3 days ago

When you press command shift 4, there will be an on screen menu that you can change the location of a screenshot

[-] tiredofsametab@fedia.io 3 points 3 days ago

I'm a command+shift+5 type of person, but you are correct that it is there. Why on earth is it not in the actual settings app?! Thanks!

[-] JackFrostNCola@aussie.zone 1 points 2 days ago

Right click > view> hide desktop icons.

Dude is crazy organized. Look at that perfect grid.

My desktop is my castle!

[-] merde@sh.itjust.works 9 points 4 days ago

1 of the first things i do after installing linux on a laptop is disabling desktop.

On a tablet, i can understand muscle memory kicking in and launching apps easily but this is incomprehensible.

Hey that looks like my desktop! whenever I get a new laptop I put everything in a folder called "old desktop" on my desktop.

Same with how macbooks look because all screenshots are automatically saved to desktop.

For things that are "hmmm".

Rule 1: All post titles except for meta posts should be just plain "hmmm" and nothing else, no emotes, no capitalisation, no extending it to "hmmmm" etc.
