I don't want to alarm anyone, but my current #KDE setup is very similar to how I used to have my #WindowsVista desktop.
It's so pretty. Also, Vista was the last good version of Windows, it just had a rough start. 7 was just an ugly version of Vista. Don't at me.
noting that #EFM #electronicsFleaMarket and #ASVARO do not have #wikipedia pages
and we wonder why #eFlea is slowing down further

For those who love MSN/Windows Live Messenger, it has been revived! This site has been around for awhile, but I thought I should mention it for those who don't know about it and also for those who are tired of modern messaging programs which are often inaccessible. Note that you must create a free account with them and cannot use an old hotmail address or whatever you used with Microsoft's version. This is the same software, but modified to work on their servers. For that reason, even if you have the original on your computer, you should install theirs. There is a way to patch an existing one, but why go through all the trouble? Escargot works on Windows, from XP through 11, and it is completely accessible with NVDA, minus the games, which never worked with screen readers anyway. There are IOS and Android versions, but I have no idea how well they work in general, let alone with VoiceOver or Talkback. If you wish to add me, I am [email protected]. The site can be found here.

Randomowa ciekawostka: Mój stary PC z Windows Vistą miał 2 GB ramu, procesor intela i płytę główną, której nazwy już nie pamiętam (I forgor)
Jak na tamte czasy to nieźle 💁♀️
Oprócz buga związanego z tym, że po wciśnięciu kosza, ikony znikały z pulpitu, nie kojarzę za bardzo problemów... Nie wiem, gry "Tony Tough 2" i "Świat Kucyków" były tak łatwe do zepsucia, że Windows Vista wyglądał jak twardziel I wytrzymał mnie...
@serigala_tropis Remindes me of the old "Designed for Linux - Windows Vista incapable" - Stickers…

@slowbiex I even read that Microslop ceo can't even use that ai hardware they got cos they don't have enough power lmao.
Meanwhile the average person has to think about what they need and want to buy in this fucked up economy
And they cry cos people call them Microslop and their AI crap slop.

@SecurityWriter good question.
Pretty shure @ubuntu / #UbuntuLTS is emulating that on it's #GnomeDesktop.

Super-Key based shortcuts (which were introduced with #WindowsVista) like Super+Tab and Super+Arrow-Keys to quickly switch between Application #Windows and arrange them on the screen without needing to use the mouse entirely...It's funny too cos prior to all of that, I had a laptop that had an AMD Athlon X2 QL-64, an NVIDIA 8200M G, and 4 gigs of DDR2-667 RAM. Yes. 4 gigs of DDR2 RAM.
It was my first ever PC. It was running Windows 7 when I got it. It prolly ran Windows Vista originally but I got Windows 10 to run on it even though the components are from 2008. It's also the device where I first dipped into Linux, starting with Ubuntu 18.04.

Well what do you know – The Electronics Flea Market (EFM) has moved back to Saturday mornings and if you park in lot 2 it is free. Looks as we get to share the campus with the farmer’s market, so I get to peruse fruit & veg for the week and get my nerd on. Hopefully I will find another security appliance from a vendor I do not have yet for my test rack in the garage.
The first date is Saturday March 14, 2026 at West Valley College in Saratoga, CA (south bay area): http://www.electronicsfleamarket.com/
See you there!
