Probably makes 6 figures but doesn’t understand how walpapers work.
You know they have one of those calculators on their desk with the spool of paper so they can check the math.
Crop to selection in Paint.net: ctrl + shift + x
Set as wallpaper in IrfanView: ctrl + shift + xHappens to me all the fucking time.
Because you obviously need a shortcut to set a wallpaper lmao.
Why do webbrowsers, file managers, always have the option “set as your desktop background” in a easy to accidentally click place in the context menu? No, i add it myself to the “backgrounds” folder if i care.
Are you saying you’ve never been shopping online, saw a shapely bottle of mustard, and then wanted to set it as your desktop background as quickly as possible? Why, it’s the next best thing to having a framed photo of the sexy, squeezable condiment with low calories and delectable flavor.
You have created the perfect comment. I hope to encounter this comment again, randomly, all across Lemmy.
Thanks. I storyboard all my comments with my team. Moxy the cat and Wilford Brimley, my Japanese Chin.
Are mustards in America classified by their colour instead of French, Dijon, English, Blow-Off-The-Top-Of-Your-Head, etc?
On America we refer to all of those as “fancy mustard”. This yellow abomination is the default.
Not american, but in america I’m pretty sure mustard is just yellow dye.
There are zero artificial ingredients in yellow mustards.
Vinegar, Water, Mustard Seed, Salt, Tumeric, Paprika.
All the color is from tumeric.
No, yellow mustard is the cheap standard stuff. The rest exist in NA too.
French
English
Naming them by the country of origin is almost equally odd to me. You literally mentioned Dijon, which is also French. So wtf is French mustard supposed to mean. There’s probably dozens or hundreds of French mustards.
Person’s family name was French. Hence the name. Their first factory is in my city.
They’re labeled by type; one of those types happens to just be called “yellow.” It’s smooth and vinegary. Good on hot dogs and burgers.
It’s clearly rated according to fluorescense.
Ctrl + Alt + Down
Now your bottle is ready to dispense delicious mustard
Only on laptops with Intel graphics where IT hasn’t deactivated the unnecessary utility that comes with them.
And this is why we have a GPO that locks the background to a corporate image.
I think it’s nice if people can set their own background picture. They can put a picture of their pets or family members which lowers the stress.
A better policy would be to hire people who can actually do basic things with the thing they’ll be working 8 hours a day with.
When you’re working for Heinz, is it a mustard bottle?
Yes, but a bit more artistic than a jpeg from a search engine.

Leave Heather alone. There’s nothing wrong with this desktop background. Please refrain from remote connecting to her computer in the future.
This is reminiscent of an absolute classic video.
If you are not familiar with a story about penis-arranged icons, I recommend giving it a watch.
If you haven’t, please watch the original, full video! It’s hilarious from beginning to end…
I have - I think seventeen years ago, in fact. I do remember enjoying it, but I missed a lot (I was barely into my IT career and didn’t even know what Boing Boing was, for example). Should probably rewatch it. Thank you for the link.
I should have anticipated that this would exist.
Pretty much what I think whenever stumbling on any relatively unknown kink or fetish. The limits whack behavior caused by ape horneyness mixing with psychological complexes knows no bounds.
I always think ive seen it all, yet somehow the internet occasionally shows more.
Sadly… It already has :( sighs and lubes up dejectedly
I wonder how that will work on my other system with just the recycle bin and nothing else on the desktop
Nothing dates it more than the reference to Boing Boing.
You’re not wrong there. I think this video was actually the first time I heard of it, but it’s been a long time since the last time I did.
Pretty sure boingboing is still around
What the hell! 😁
Well, there is a longer version of the video that provides some context. It seems the caller is either trying to access or host a website (possibly both) and it has gone down, so they called tech support.
The icon arrangement was apparently done spitefully to the remote desktop by the person the caller replaced and the caller simply became accustomed to it.
Beyond that, I cannot resolve your query.
Is that whats implied here? I thought Heather just went to her Boss to complain and the Boss called IT…
The bar at the top shows up in remote desktop connections
bottom picture could be IT POV checking what’s wrong
Could also be because they work in rds from thin clients
Oh true i have seen that long ago. Very sus then.
That font in the signature, the fax into, the mustard!!!
… and last but not least, how the icon placement accentuates the natural curves of that mustard bottle …
( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
I’ll let you RDP into me any time…
Then I’ll open a separate vnc (and mirror the image) just to watch myself rdp you.
I’m ready to do more than just hold Heinz. Let’s get Dijon.
Buckets and buckets of hollandaise sauce
How long will it take to upload?
ul/dl is fairly rapid, but most of the joy comes from plugging and unplugging the USB (the right and the wrong way, … and ethernet, hdmi, & DoublePenetration ports are also all fair game for the saucy USB dong).

Heather doesn’t lock her computer when she walks away. Don’t be like Heather.
It sounds far more likely to me that she right-clicked on some image file and picked “Set as desktop background”.
Happened to me previously several times. I find it crazy to even have this option in the context menu.
It’s up there with “Send image as email” which I suspect like 5 people have used in the last 20 years
3 of them accidentally.
As I wrote that comment I wondered: “does Windows still have that option in the context menu?” I’m rarely on Windows so can’t quickly check.
My memory says that it’s even an option when right-clicking an image on the web. I decided to ignore that memory - surely that can’t still be a thing! …Right?
Edit: oh crap, it’s actually an option on Firefox on Linux Mint. Damn, that’s crazy. Then it’s gotta be there on Windows too. Much easier to imagine it happening accidentally on the web than an image file on PC.
Which almost makes it worst. I mean I get the last part. Why ever she right clicked, she took the wrong option, fine. But how did she even end up on an image like that at work? What did she research?
Heinz mustard pictures?
I was on the website of a mustard manufacturer ten minutes ago. I was digging through Heinz ketchup pack sizes this morning.
Some of us love a saucy life. Who are you to judge?
Ok, I did my own research and realized that Heinz Mustard is a thing. I was convinced that Heinz only produces Ketchup but I was wrong. Sorry. This assumption made me think this is a weird montage and it still looks weird and montaged to me but who am I to judge
French’s Ketchup is a thing too!
I don’t know French’s. Where I live, there is Heinz ketchup and Bautz’ner Senf
Here’s my new “you left your computer unlocked” image
My favorite was to screenshot the desktop, set that as the background, then move everything on it to a different folder.
You can just disable desktop icons in windows. It’s both less destructive and more infuriating.
Flip the image upside down and then flip the screen upside down as well so it looks normal. Except for the cursor, which will be upside down and moving in the wrong direction.
In the good old days we would just do that prank by taking the ball out of the mouse and putting in again backwards.
We used to shout in the company chat about how much “i” love the company.
Very bad spanish sentences were fun too.I think ours were about wanting hugs from pink butterflies.
We used to do this stuff to people who would leave their computers open, or flip the screen upside down.
It was a pretty benign way to teach people to lock their damn computers when they left.
I used to take a screenshot of the desktop, set it as the wallpaper. Then hide all the desktop icons and set the taskbar to auto hide.
We would do this to our teachers in school.
Oh jeez that brings back memories… Or finding somebody you don’t like and pop off an expansion bay cover and stuff some garbage in there. Just keep doing that to their computer whenever you get a chance. See how far it goes before it stops working or makes a sound. It might have been easier in the 2000s when there were half atx cases with still basically NOTHING inside of them. I remember a friend of mine fitting an entire folded up paper plate with leftover fries and sauce into a computer once. I seriously doubt anybody ever looked inside of that case again.
Microsoft removing CTRL - ALT and arrrow to turn the screen is a crime.
I thought that was video drivers. It was part of the Intel drivers when I did support ages ago. Students would be annoying about it in the labs.
It could be, but its possible to turn the shortcut back on iirc.
Wait, did they really? They made a fucking shortcut for LinkedIn but took this away?
I was wondering why that didn’t work… No fun allowed.
You literally described every office, ever.
I’m not going to assume my experience is universal.
She make the directors mad, but somebody’s gotta do it
