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.

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

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

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 got a jew laptop at work recently and the IT guy asked about Desktop icons. I told him I turn them off. He told me about our CFO who apparently keeps every file in Desktop. I can't imagine.

I use my desktop basically as a temporary directory. I also have icons turned off so I don't have to see that clutter lol.

I did like putting a bunch of shortcuts to files and directories on my desktop, back when I still used that kind of UI.
