I love the attention to detail, putting the upsell “30days of msn premium” between the “start” and “all programs” buttons, beautiful.
I crave retro futuristic. The flesh craves nostalgia. Also… pentiums and 512mb of ram would have fucking been cooked if they tried this lmao
Think about the Pentium versions of the Celeron, too. XP was their peak time.
Honestly maybe even their only time to shine.
Honestly though can we go back to the days or at least adopt design philosophies where the entire OS, programs, and everyday browsing could fit on just that much ram
Those msn searches 🤣
Instance blocking doesn’t block comments?
That is correct. Your instance needs to defederate from the other instance to also block comments/users.
User-based instance blocking is actually just hiding posts from that instance. It does not hide or block comments made from users of that instance on posts that are not coming from that instance.
Well TIL I learned
windows has normalized all that shit so well that this image is genuinely disturbing compared to the win 11 start menu. I am glad my windows days ended years ago
I like THIS Windows
Nice, even moving the computer into the trash worked as expected.
Even a community in GitHub with forks, mods and plug-ins.
That’s kind of overwhelming to me. It’s like there’s no bottom to that rabbit hole. I love it and I have so many questions.
I love this, I wasted so much time on my phone. The Playstation start up sound was amazing. I need to open it on a conputer
Woah cool website, I don’t how’d you know about this but thanks you
How? Using Internet since more than 25 Years result in only ignoring the most new pages.
Half-Life 3 confirmed
Oh yeah, that’s gooooood…
The Doom (Gafa 3D) really works like the original, with some “differences”.
Vulve is my favourite company. Can’t wait for their new game store, stamp, to come out!
It’s missing filling the start bat with a massive Copilot box and weather/news widget. Or maybe missed an opportunity to make Clippy the AI assistant.
I love-hate it.
Is there an Easter egg or is this just nostalgia?
Start menu looks like Win10/11 with ads, suggestions and news. This is not how XP used looked like
It’s so well done I image that everyone who was too young to use XP doesn’t realize this is satire.
Edit: sorry for the double post. My lemmy app threw me an error now I can not delete my second comment
I preferred Yahoo Messenger to Windows solely due to the ROTFLMAO emoji… it kicked ass. Made me giggle every time I used it.
Did it kick the llama’s ass?
You missed out on hella custom emoticons. Had hundreds of "lol"s
Edit: and nudges lol
Yes!!!
It’s fantastic.
Surfing away with an administrator account.
That is the sole reason the UAC exists in post-Vista Windows.
Trying to teach my in-laws not to do that was impossible.
Maybe it was just easier to install those browser bars as admin.
What’s it called when you backport modern features to retro systems like this mockup? I swear there’s a word for this…
I think you’re looking for “anachronism”: A thing belonging or appropriate to a period other than that in which it exists.
It would be awesome if there was a community focused on that
Be the change you wish to see in the world
Backporting
Retroshittification
Backtrackarrhea
Backport-a-potty
🤣💀
oh my god brilliant
Demake?
I’d call it techlapse
Ok…someone do this but in an Atari 2600 theme. I wanna see what loot boxes and modern gaming shit would look in 160x192 128 color resolution.
The little shield next to the turn off computer icon implying it’ll update it without asking is a nice touch
I don’t remember seeing all the internet links in the start menu.
That’s the meme
Trash meme
We’re in the trash timeline.
Make thyself scarce, cur, less ye see the back of my hand.
