    Windows XP, with Windows 10+ terminal, using Linux directories.

    Though if you look at the internet taskbar icon it's a Windows 7/10+ icon, so it may all be a skin running on cygwin/wsl)

    Also the internet icon shows there is Internet.

    In the case of an apple II

    Macintosh Pus actually. At least I hope it’s a Plus. If they gutted a 128k or 512k that would be sad.

    There's been runs of new plastic cases by some companies. I considered getting one and putting modern parts inside as a project, but didn't have the cash at the time. Could be something like that.

    Macintosh Pus? πŸ˜‚πŸ€£

    I'd leave the spelling error, I got a good laugh. πŸ‘

    I find it funny how common menu replacements are on Windows nowadays. I used to run ClassicShell/OpenShell back when I used Windows 10, but I was the odd one and no one else I talked to even knew about it.

    Now I know more than a handful of people who daily drive RetroBar or something similar on Windows 11. Even if they're not the type of person who typically customize their setups. Guess that's just a sign of how bad M$ has been screwing up their UX design lately.

    Them killing my ability to have the task bar moved to the top of the screen has pushed me over the edge. I’ve been a Linux fiddler for decades, now I’m going to try full time.

    [–] moonlight@fedia.io 32 points 1 day ago

    I bet it's just Linux with a skin.

    The Internet icon is a fucking liar, and if you don't agree with me you haven't been on enough networks.

    [–] einlander@lemmy.world 10 points 1 day ago

    What do you mean it's not a DNS error!

    [–] SatyrSack@lemmy.sdf.org 15 points 1 day ago (1 children)

    Also the internet icon shows there is Internet.

    Looks to me like the icon that indicates the machine being connected to a network, but that network is not connected to the Internet.

    "Connected to the Internet" is a spectrum from "no network interface available" to "can reach every server that people agree is 'online'". Is it enough to have a working TCP/IP stack, receive a ping reply from connectivitycheck.android.com (or other arbitrary server), or do you have to know if there's a firewall (like in China)?

    …on an ancient beige-assed Mac

    It’s the Windows taskbar. They used to let you move it to the top but had to remove that feature to support CoPilot.

    [–] lefixxx@lemmy.world 10 points 1 day ago

    yeah copilot did indeed conflict with the windows XP taskbar

    [–] clay_pidgin@sh.itjust.works 31 points 1 day ago (6 children)

    I am a left side taskbar kind of guy. No room for me in default Windows either anymore.

    [–] WhiskyTangoFoxtrot@lemmy.world 2 points 20 hours ago (1 children)

    I use two taskbars. The one on top has my menu, quick-launch icons, date/time display, weather and notifications. The one on the bottom has my actual tasks.

    Of course, I'm not using Windows.

    [–] clay_pidgin@sh.itjust.works 1 points 20 hours ago

    That sounds like a neat setup.

    [–] noride@lemm.ee 42 points 1 day ago (1 children)

    I hated this change, I've used a side taskbar in windows my entire IT career. It makes it painfully obvious which taskbar is yours and which is the servers when logged in over RDP. With this simple tweak, I had quite literally never made a click error on a remote server... Until windows 11.

    that's a clever way to use it!

    How in the world do you get a java exception in rust?? Also the invoking program is java

    Java can interface with other languages! It's how basically all games written in java exist, they're using LWJGL (Lightweight Java Game Library) to interface with GLFW (an OpenGL implementation written in C).

    Who the FUCK puts the xp taskbar at the TOP!?

    [–] deegeese@sopuli.xyz 12 points 1 day ago

    I’ve had top taskbar auto hide since Win95.

    MacOS got it right back in 1984 but Windows insisted on doing it wrong like an edgy teen wearing their baseball cap to the side.

    The problem is you're using Bukkit.

    Nice catch, doesn't make it any better though.

    Cool Retro Term has finally added hardware support. They even included the vertical wrap-around when a capacitor is about to pop!

    Sweet monitor frame! Where can I get one of those.
