This is the recycle bin, not trash.

Apple apparently has the rights to call something "trash" and didn't like that windows was doing the same.

As a British Mac user who upgraded to a new machine that could run a much newer macOS, I was surprised last year to discover that over here it’s now called the Bin.

Did you set the OS to UK English?

Smart of them to patent the word people would otherwise use to describe them!

[-] Imgonnatrythis@sh.itjust.works 1 points 10 months ago

Over 70% of all recycling becomes standard trash but with a bigger carbon footprint. I also call recycling bins trash cans.

[-] merc@sh.itjust.works 0 points 10 months ago

Anything talking about the evolution of the "Trash Can Icon" should be starting with the Apple version that Microsoft copied.

[-] Orbituary@lemmy.world 36 points 10 months ago

In 2022 it was still Twitter.

[-] ilinamorato@lemmy.world 18 points 10 months ago

For almost everyone in the world it's still Twitter today. Nobody calls it X except Musk and Linda Y. Even the weird tech bros still call it Twitter.

[-] Lemminary@lemmy.world 16 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago)

Even Twitter calls itself Twitter. Almost as if they half-heartedly made the switch just to shut the boss's yap.

I like the 2006 icon. The round metal mesh can with the classic recycling icon speaks to the utilitarian in me.

[-] Lemminary@lemmy.world 9 points 10 months ago

Same, and I liked the flair of 2001. Good ol' times.

[-] spudwart@spudwart.com 16 points 10 months ago

Okay, but that's the Recycle Bin tho.

And honestly, that's more accurate to reddit than Xitter anyway.

[-] bigkahuna1986@lemmy.ml 13 points 10 months ago

Trash? Don't you mean the folder where my uncle puts all his documents that he still needs?

[-] smeg@feddit.uk 12 points 10 months ago

Trash

Do you mean the Recycle Bin?

[-] stoy@lemmy.zip 9 points 10 months ago

Wrong year for Twitter.

[-] The_v@lemmy.world 2 points 10 months ago

That is one thing I dislike about all of the modern OS's is the flat bland style. It's boring and completely unnecessary with modern hardware.

[-] weker01@feddit.de 2 points 10 months ago

I like the 2006 one. But I'm biased I had a similar one irl

[-] 0x4E4F@sh.itjust.works 7 points 10 months ago

1995 --> 20 years later --> still the same icon

[-] _number8_@lemmy.world 5 points 10 months ago

i recently bought a new device so i had to install the fresh / current versions of my apps. very annoying because god the twitter icon looks like fucking garbage now

[-] SpaceNoodle@lemmy.world 12 points 10 months ago

You didn't have to install Twitter.

[-] BruceTwarzen@kbin.social 10 points 10 months ago

The funniest thing about the renaming stunt is that it's still either called twitter, x/twitter, xitter or x formally known as twitter.

[-] pewpew@feddit.it 3 points 10 months ago

The trash icon before: trash bin; The trash icon now: the OS as a whole

[-] Samsy@lemmy.ml 3 points 10 months ago

I miss the 2001 icon. Those silly times installing windows again and again every day.

[-] yamapikariya@lemmyfi.com 2 points 10 months ago

2001 was peak

[-] Evil_Shrubbery@lemm.ee 1 points 10 months ago

Some trash, as og icons suggested, can be recycled. Not Twatter tho.

[-] thorbot@lemmy.world -3 points 10 months ago

Congrats, you have just mocked the easiest target of 2023, I hope you feel smart

[-] Track_Shovel@slrpnk.net 3 points 10 months ago
