  3. You are encouraged to provide a link back to the source of your screen capture in the body of your post.
  4. Current politics and news are allowed, but discouraged. There MUST be some kind of human commentary/reaction included (either by the original poster or you). Just news articles or headlines will be deleted.
  5. Doctored posts/images and AI are allowed, but discouraged. You MUST indicate this in your post (even if you didn't originally know). If an image is found to be fabricated or edited in any way and it is not properly labeled, it will be deleted.

I absolutely do it the other way. Nothing is on my desktop except for the trash bin. There is a shortcut to the file explorer and browser pinned to the task bar. And that's it.

There is nothing at all on my desktop except for a text document created by my girlfriend saying that she loves me that she snuck on there when I wasn’t looking.

i don't even have icons enabled on my desktop. Now I don't have to feel stressed about cleaning it up

Ah, a person of culture! Though I admit everything that I regularly use is pinned to the taskbar.

Taskbar is all you need. Also, the windows/meta button, then just typing (or if you're in KDE, literally just typing) the thing I want to do and hitting enter. Fuck desktop icons.

[–] AdamBomb@lemmy.sdf.org 1 points 1 year ago

Yeah, this is the way. Disable icons and recycle bin too.

Thanks. I wasn't joking. But it doesn't look like something for me. It looks like Apples iOS, and I hate everything apple related.

Windows + E for file explorer as well, when you can't be bothered with the mouse. I wish you were able to pin specific folders to the taskbar, as opposed to just general explorer. I want to save one click.

I use my keyboard as little as possible, so shortcut keys aren't for me. I use a laptop, and am usually lying on the couch, too far to reach the keyboard. I have a few shortcuts mapped to my mouse. You'd be surprised how much I can surf the web with just the mouse. And sometimes even with my left hand.
