I'm not as savvy at tech as many folk in this here platform, but I was knowledgeable in Napster and limewire in my early teens. A dabble of DOS 3.0 when I was in k-5. I thank you for letting me believe that counts for anything at all.
I log in to different computers at work. About half have updated to windows 11. I don't know why only half. I'm not IT.
I miss XP to this day. The cosmetic features aren't useful to me because I grew up with alt+tab and such. I can adapt. I bet there are reasons - but for me at work, it's just a minor inconvenience in creating new "muscle memory"
Not only does it move, but it gets covered by an ad and it has to track your eyeballs on that tile for 5 seconds before it reveals the desktop. That way, you spend a minute watching ads looking for the real desktop.
@Diplomjodler3@Ophioparma finished building my PC proceeded with installing Windows 11. Realized my failure. Installed PopOS. Life is so much better now.
This is less intrusive than current web ads. The entire center of the screen is ad-free, no pop-ups, no banners that grey out the rest of the screen, no paywall...
Quite optimistic view. Do you think they will be so nice and give you a completely unobstructed working area? I am pretty sure that contradicts every sane ad strategy. Where is the "Watch one minute of ads before we can start your application" window in the center? Where are the 5 identical buttons of which only one will get you to file explorer, the other ones lead to File Explorer Plus only for 5,99$ per week?
People who can build up advanced logic systems can make or adapt their own Unix-like operating system on any computer. It happened before and it'll happen again, even if the computer uses confusing Orb stuff instead of modern bits and bytes.
I still use my bought in 2012 Photoshop CS 6, almost daily, no plans to upgrade. If i need to keep one of my PCs with windows, i won't mind sticking to a old version for the long run
That's any future app. And the kick in the nards is that the developer who allow it earn like $2 a day if lucky. So we all get burned on the ad hellscape having hours of time wasted for $2

Bold of you to assume you still get a desktop in between all the ads.
tpihkal@lemmy.world · 41 pts · 2y
It should be off in a corner or something. Not front and center where it's blocking the main ad.
Imgonnatrythis@sh.itjust.works · 28 pts · 2y
Yeah, those ads are way to easy to ignore. Hopefully the working space randomly shifts tiles so your attention shifts periodically to the ads!
Diplomjodler3@lemmy.world · 11 pts · 2y
And you get jingles every few minutes that you can't turn down or mute.

No, MSPaint on Wine is perfectly capable of this quality, and even meme fitting for this post. Using AI is overkill.
