Seriously though, the thought of an llm running on a server interacting with my files is one of the most frightening things I can imagine happening to anyone
I don't want to sound like I support ANYTHING about Windows 11, because I don't.
That being said, take your clothes off, I'll tie you to this torture rack I keep in my basement, and I'll get you to reevaluate what fear really means.
Hey, are you ticklish?
This meme has been recycled more times than I can count.
You know I don’t think I ever realized the trash icon has a recycle logo on it. Weird
I think Microsoft put the recycle logo on theirs because Apple used the "Trash bin" moniker and Microsoft wanted to appear more green or whatever.
Apple sued Microsoft over the "look and feel" of the desktop interface, claiming that Windows was too similar to Mac OS. The suit was mostly dismissed, except in the case of the trash bin. The judge ruled that the Microsoft version came too close to Apple's. From that point on Microsoft used the Recycle Bin.
Ah, fascinating. Poor Xerox though.
Xerox also bought 100,000 shares of Apple in 79' for $10 a share to help with the research. That would be worth 6.2 billion dollars in stock now. But they sold it in 89'.
...And Windows' recycling bin icons were shit ever since, except for Vista, where the icon actually resembled those used in OSX.
The suit was filed in 1988, when 2.0 was the latest release of Windows. I couldn't find what the trash bin icon looked like in it, but Macintosh back then had wonderful icons designed by Susan Kare:
Windows 3.1 seems to have had a pretty neat icon, if this page is correct, but it might've already been updated after the initial decision in the case, or just as an overall refresh.
Is there any other universal icon that is at all related to throwing things away? The recycling icon might just be a win by default.
The is the universal symbol for throwing something away, but I think the recycle symbol is far more recognized even though they mean two different things.
Acktshually, that’s the Recycle Bin.
The 2025 trash icon no longer looks like a trash can. It's no longer intuitive. At the same time, I don't actually keep one on my desktop, so meh.
Isn't it the copilot icon or have I been taken to an alternative universe?
If it is, then I failed to get the joke.
And yet you still managed to accidentally make a pretty funny joke. Win/win.
It peaked in 2006
just like Windows itself ( correction : Windows peaked 2009 - 2012 )
'98 is best.
2015 is second best.
Agree on 1998, disagree on second best.
1995 was second best.
Pixel art has my pixel heart.
2001 for me. It was colourful and round, didn't feel like a boring square box. While XP wasn't always the most stable, it was a good OS.
2006 is actually close to MacOS' trash icons, which indeed always looked way better.
I think for the Mac icons here I like the 2001 variant.
Yeah, that was what I'm most familiar with, and it felt neat as heck. 2014 is probably part of overall change away from Jobs' skeuomorphism to glass texture that Jony Ive likes.
No hate for Cortana?
I assume that last one is some sort of AI app.
Yes, copilot
*correction:
I was like "oh wow they really changed it"
1995 and 2015 looking go tho
I'm partial to 1998. That's my favorite one.
Same, maybe a bit 2000 also. They give this nostalgic feeling. I think it is the high quality pixel art-style that reminds me of simpler times.
never used anything under windows 8.1 in my entire life - 2000 and 2001 are my favourites
Windows is the trash
2026 should look like a garbage can with the windows logo in it
gotta say XP and 7 ones are the coolest.
We need to make the trash icon disgusting have unknowable sludge sliding down its side have it overflowing even when empty so you can't believe anything more can be placed. Make it more accurate.
2001 is my bae
2006 sick 3D
I like 95-00. That's also the period in time in which I liked Windows, so there's certainly a correlation there.
Spot on lmao
