like for example, one time i was browsing through some neofetch screenshots and i found out that a lot of them have anime or furry stuff as their wallpaper or profile picture, but they use linux. hmm or maybe they even have proprietary videogame images!! i used to think that was bad but now i realize that even if you have proprietary stuff as images like, furry fanart of some proprietary videogame, it’s like just a picture, a jpeg. but still, younger me would’ve freaked out by the idea of having proprietary files, but i still enjoy linux. what do you think?? please

    On a scale from 1 to 10, how autistic would you say you are? Because caring about proprietary motives on the wallpaper of other people sounds a little divergent to me.

      Autism has little to do with it - I’m on the spectrum and I have “proprietary” Star Trek wallpapers on all my Linux machines - Ent D and DS9 on desktop, DS9 crew on laptop, Cerritos on that one old Chromebook I installed Bcachefs Debian Testing on for fun once, Borg cube on my Surface…

      Now my wallpaper choices and overall Star Trek fandom… you could probably make a reasonable guess on where that comes from. 😉

        I think the original commenter suggested autism because of OP’s rather… peculiar hyperfixation. Hyperfixations on atypical things are common in people on the spectrum.

        To me, it’s either that or OP is very very young.

        EDIT: also, star trek rules

        Good choice for the Microsoft Surface - The BORG. You will be assimilated. Resistance is futile.
