No hate, but I actually liked a lot of the photos that they had selected. Lots of international holidays and events called out which was fun. Got worried for a second, since I still have it set as my current wallpaper.
Then I giggled and remember to myself that I switched to Linux and KDE can pull directly from them without any of the spyware ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Daily reminder that Linux is a very simple alternative since 2004 (thanks
ObamaUbuntu) and you don’t need Windows anymore unless you use it at work.Linux was not a simple alternative back in 2004.
As someone who actually used desktop Linux back then it was damned annoying to get flash working, not to mention the nightmare of WiFi…
You also needed to download a third party pack of software to play MP3s, and I remember being pissed off at Linux back in 2009 when it hadn’t downloaded libdvdcss when I had installed VLC before going on a trip, and VLC refused to play a few DVDs I had brought with me.
I would say that Linux became significantly simpler sometime around 2018 or so.
Yeah I don’t think I would’ve been using it in 2004, though Ubuntu was going strong in my university physics department in 2006. I found Linux working really efficiently 2020-ish and I don’t have a single windows system now.
Microslop’s Windows 11’s Bing Wallpaper app now acts like adware, reaffirming their adversarial role towards their users.
So they updated it to match the rest of the OS then
“Now”?
I mean this been a Staple of Android for years and years so, welcome to the club I guess.

I dont think my android has ever opened Bing.
That’s because Bing is a Microsoft search engine, not the one the company that makes Android is named after…?
