My 100th desktop apparently, first of 2004 as well.

Theme: Bluecurve 4.0, personal Ergo (and Olive) mod

Icons: Bluecurve from Fedora Core 1

Wallpaper: Personal mod of default.png and lightwaves.png from Fedora Core 1

WMP9 taskbar skin: Personal skin to match Fedora Core 1

Start button has been replaced by Press Start and Start Killer from TrueLaunchBar. I just reshacked "pressstart.exe" to have the nice Red Fedora.

Msgina.dll hacked with custom Fedora bitmaps by moi.

Toolbar is a Yz Toolbar theme taken and turned into a shell32.dll mod, didn't really want Yz Toolbar running.

Click on the thumbnails for the full view. First desktop is a clean view, second is a view with all the goodies hanging out:

It's only Dec 31, and 10:18am here...

Now, this is my other desktop. About the only cool thing I have on it (aside from XP's silver theme) is the "Angry Robo-Kitty" as my four-year old daughter calls him. She picked him off of deviant art while I was browsing there. Not bad taste, and I like it, so here we are.

    • War was livestreamed. Also, learn the meaning of the word "genocide". Populations do not GROW during a genocide. Zionist is not a bad word - it's the belief that Israel should exist. The cat out of the bag is your racist anitsemitism and posting of blood libels, unproven or out of context. Even BBC reported a kid supposedly being killed was a staged photo op, and AP just posted how Hamas is murdering their own people at Shifa Hospital, executing them in cold blood. You would rather lie down with murderers than think any different.
    • Neowin shudders at the many, many posts from users that block their ads
    • I'm from Australia. This posts reeks of a Nigerian scammer.
    • It's funny that iPhone users think they are getting feature, where in fact they are getting cosmetics that just do iteration circles of "improvement" of the said cosmetics. Apple just doesn't know what to do with this product anymore. There is no innovation on this areas anymore.
    • You can disable the bloat on every browser. That's not the point. I will never use a browser of a shady company. I don't trust them at all. I can still find adblocking solutions than having to rely on a browser from a shady company. Every year they try something shady lol 2016: Brave Ad Replacement https://archive.is/W0k4j#selection-203.7-203.28 2016: pay-to-win Wikipedia clone into the default search engine list https://github.com/brave/browser-laptop/issues/5475 2018: Tom Scott and other creators noticed Brave was soliciting donations in their names without their knowledge or consent. https://www.reddit.com/r/brave...aims_that_brave_is_falsely/ 2020: Brave got caught injecting URLs with affiliate codes https://www.theverge.com/2020/...-crypto-privacy-ceo-apology 2021: Brave's TOR window was found leaking DNS queries https://www.zdnet.com/article/...n-addresses-in-dns-traffic/ 2022: Brave floated the idea of further discouraging users from disabling sponsored messages. https://github.com/brave/brave-browser/issues/22066 2023: Brave got caught installing a paid VPN service on users' computers without their consent. https://www.xda-developers.com...owser-installs-vpn-windows/ 2023: Brave got caught scraping and reselling people's data with their custom web crawler, which was designed specifically not to announce itself to website owners. https://stackdiary.com/brave-s...ghted-data-for-ai-training/ 2024: Brave gave up on providing advanced fingerprint protection, citing flawed statistics https://www.bleepingcomputer.c...tion-as-it-breaks-websites/ 2025: Brave staff publish an article endorsing PrivacyTests and say they "work with legitimate testing sites" like them.
