This meme has been recycled more times than I can count.
OR3X@lemmy.world 10 hours ago
I think Microsoft put the recycle logo on theirs because Apple used the “Trash bin” moniker and Microsoft wanted to appear more green or whatever.
Davel23@fedia.io 10 hours ago
Apple sued Microsoft over the "look and feel" of the desktop interface, claiming that Windows was too similar to Mac OS. The suit was mostly dismissed, except in the case of the trash bin. The judge ruled that the Microsoft version came too close to Apple's. From that point on Microsoft used the Recycle Bin.

Is there any other universal icon that is at all related to throwing things away? The recycling icon might just be a win by default.
Diddlydee@feddit.uk 10 hours ago
It is rather odd that for X years you could (presumably) see the icon very regularly and never see the sole feature on that icon.
It’s like saying you didn’t realise a stop sign had a word in the middle of it.
cannedtuna@lemmy.world 10 hours ago
Imagine being able to see something universally recognized and not thinking too hard on the connection between a name and the symbology associated with it. Fucking wild concept.
And your analogy is a poor one considering the sign Stop says the word Stop. If the Stop sign said Go then sure, but trash /=/ recycle

Acktshually, that’s the Recycle Bin.

2026 should look like a garbage can with the windows logo in it
Mongostein@lemmy.ca 6 hours ago
That’s the recycle bin. Mac OS has trash.

The former icon designer in me twitches when I see Linux distros that have Recycle Bin icon labeled as “Trash.”

The 2025 trash icon no longer looks like a trash can. It’s no longer intuitive. At the same time, I don’t actually keep one on my desktop, so meh.

Isn’t it the copilot icon or have I been taken to an alternative universe?

If it is, then I failed to get the joke.

'98 is best.
2016 is second best.
Lost_My_Mind@lemmy.world 6 hours ago
Agree on 1998, disagree on second best.
1995 was second best.

2001 for me. It was colourful and round, didn’t feel like a boring square box. While XP wasn’t always the most stable, it was a good OS.

I’m partial to 1998. That’s my favorite one.
evening_push579@feddit.nu 5 hours ago
Same, maybe a bit 2000 also. They give this nostalgic feeling. I think it is the high quality pixel art-style that reminds me of simpler times.
richardisaguy@lemmy.world 3 hours ago
never used anything under windows 8.1 in my entire life - 2000 and 2001 are my favourites

We need to make the trash icon disgusting have unknowable sludge sliding down its side have it overflowing even when empty so you can’t believe anything more can be placed. Make it more accurate.

I like 1998 and 2000 icons the most. 2000 in particular is so stylish.
JovialSodium@lemmy.sdf.org 8 hours ago
I like 95-00. That’s also the period in time in which I liked Windows, so there’s certainly a correlation there.

2006 sure was a whacky time to be alive. That was the year of borat and everything was whacky. Did you the last telegram was sent in 2006. What do you remember about 2006?

Seriously though, the thought of an llm running on a server interacting with my files is one of the most frightening things I can imagine happening to anyone
Lost_My_Mind@lemmy.world 6 hours ago
I don’t want to sound like I support ANYTHING about Windows 11, because I don’t.
That being said, take your clothes off, I’ll tie you to this torture rack I keep in my basement, and I’ll get you to reevaluate what fear really means.
Hey, are you ticklish?
