  It’s like Microsoft is telling you that you don’t own the computer any more - “My Computer” is now “This PC”.

  They won’t tell you we are living in techno-feudalism, but there’ll be signs.

    Hey now, we need to let these folks fester in peace. They don’t want our religion shoved down their throats.

      “Adobe is literally taking works I’ve made to train ai, Microsoft is forcing me to use AI and taking ownership of my PC and files away from me by forcing me to use the cloud, as well as tracking everything I do and taking screenshots of my screen every few seconds, Apple tries it damnest to squeeze every little bit of money from me, but at least I don’t need to download Linux Mint, flash it to a pen drive, back up my files and install it on my computer. It’s totally impossible for me to use Kdenlive, GIMP or libre office!”

  Huh, thinking about it, I’ve never seen a computer in the 2009 icon form factor. Sure there’s the simple rectangle case, but that skinny silver curved case?

  Also, its kind of funny the 2026 version is an all-in-one-computer, which is more of Apple’s thing. Sure there’s probably a dozen options for a Windows all in one, but when I see that icon I think of an iMac.

      You know something, I have a weird soft spot for thin clients. They’re so little and compact, but they do ordinary computer things?! Hmm… I think I need to be on the lookout for some to add to my collection so I can force get them to compile Gentoo for three days, or something equally silly. I’ve made a Compaq Deskpro EN run Arch Linux 32, so there’s that.

      A school i went to around 2010 had something similar

      It was all to connect remotely to a real server that ran windows

      The device on the desktop was just for connecting peripherals, power, ethernet and monitor

    Maybe the 2009 computer is supposed to be a thin client. Those are more prevalent in business settings.

    I think the 2009 icon depicts a paper portfolio folder next to an LCD monitor. The computer case is elsewhere under the desk.

    The 2026 icon depicts only the LCD monitor

    Well, it was modeled after “This PC” that being the one he happened to be using when he made the picture, you better be glad it wasn’t modeled after a 2006 Wacom Tablet.

    It’s to warm people up to the idea that eventually there will just be a screen connected to the network. Any actual computing being done will be hidden behind multiple subscriptions.

      It would be hilarious if they reuse X11’s original server model and just start trying to stream draw events to and from the cloud.
