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.
What's a jew laptop? Does it wear a yarmulka? 😁
I use arch, oy vey!
They've got chutzpah

I did like putting a bunch of shortcuts to files and directories on my desktop, back when I still used that kind of UI.
I had a professor in university who didn't use the grid layout and even had icons overlapping each other to fit more stuff on the desktop. It was wild
"You can't arrange the icons by penis"

I fucking hate that that is a thing that can be done. I've seen it a few times and it drives me crazy
So, you just woke up and chose violence?
On a Sunday morning?
he paid for entire screen and he's gonna use entire screen
Plot twist, its a wallpaper
And the icon names are the lyrics to a specific song
I actually made a wallpaper like this by moving icons and screenshotting until the whole screen was filled. Was funny trying to figure out which shortcuts were the real ones. Now I have enough stuff that I don't need to fake it. The trick is to have everything important in the taskbar, the rest is just there to fill space.
I think my mom's desktop has overflown onto this poor fellow's.
He had them all arranged by penis until web dude came along
Every coworker I've ever had
Um hi.
This could be a picture of me. It's classic ADHD desktop, with things dragged 'for later'.
Later isn't today.

Basically an iPad
Desktop #15 ... of 52.
Dude is crazy organized. Look at that perfect grid.
People actually use their desktops?

1 of the first things i do after installing linux on a laptop is disabling desktop.
On a tablet, i can understand muscle memory kicking in and launching apps easily but this is incomprehensible.
I love the concept of desktop, it's just never worked for me, not on a pc, not on a phone. And I've been using Windows since version 1.
Gross. My home PCs have just the recycle bin. My work mac nothing (except the brief moment screenshots get put there because before I move them someone at Apple is a monster)
You know you can change where screen shots go on Mac right?
I thought I looked at some point, but I might be misremembering. I hadn't used a mac in literally 20+ years when I started at this job (and hate using mac, but that's another story), so I might also have missed something obvious. Looking in the settings now, though, nothing comes up for screenshot, screen shot, or screen capture (aside from keyboard shortcut settings).

Yeah, my GNOME desktop on Linux is just a picture. Apps, and files are indexed, you hit the "windows" key, commonly accessed apps are on a popup dock, as you start to type you get an immediate list of matches, whether its apps, filenames or file contents.
Never needed to add shortcuts

Eww, windows?
Hey that looks like my desktop! whenever I get a new laptop I put everything in a folder called "old desktop" on my desktop.

Same with how macbooks look because all screenshots are automatically saved to desktop.
I mean, that’s if you don’t hold your Option key with the shortcut which just copies it to your clipboard.

Pro tip, if you do this create one single file on your desktop and dump it all in there make a blood pact with Satan The Devil, Ruler of the seven layers of Hell, may his name inspire terror in mortal souls, that you will not use the desktop for Files ever again only Icon's lest you suffer eternal Damnation.
ssh satan@6.6.6.6
At some point you just stop trying
Try this with Windows 98, it'll be a 15min boot time guaranted
This ruined my day
Did you know that you can have windows not show icons? It's great, since everything wants to default to "desktop"
