@batichi - "Webrings" dusted off an old synapse I hadn't touched in a LONG while....
@Holocluck - certainly explains my thick glasses.
@Mondobizarrro @RosethornRangerTTV - I stole it from @spottyfox way back in the day.
@Mondobizarrro @winampskins - Something that's funny is that my first GUI OS Was Windows 3.11 (my first OS was DOS 2.10). I had a specific color scheme I used back then called "Cinnamon." And I used it from Windows 3.11 all the way to Windows 98SE.
When I moved to XP, I lost the ability to assign colors to the windows frames. As I slowly migrated to Linux, I found out I could not only have the Windows XP framing, but color them as well. And now, my media computer continues to have "Cinnamon" as it's theme thirty some years later:
I totally get that online services need to sell ads and subscriptions to make money. No problem with that business model.
But on the flipside, it’s particularly irritating when the ads are by the same service you’re currently using, entirely to disrupt your experience, doing a song and dance about how, ‘Hey, if you want to avoid ads for ourself like this, just subscribe!’

"Before I introduced a screen time limit, there was too much watching of YouTube. We need rules!"
Idk, mate. Have you considered that screen time issues are related to the lack of spaces for kids and teens to do things? Because most kids I work with would love to have something to do that isn't "go to the mall and wander aimlessly every weekend," which is all they've got other than their phones or whatever.
These spaces were disappearing when *I* was a kid, and I'm almost 40. Hell, even as an adult, there aren't many places for me to go because they all fucking cost money just to find a "community." Not to mention how uncomfortable they all are.
You can change behaviours by creating a world where kids and teens can freely exist and stop ostracising them from society, among many other things.
@winampskins @Mondobizarrro - I'm a sucker for the Windows XP design. It's still my Windows Manager even after moving to Linux:
