My thoughts, for what they worth. Left to right, top to bottom:
- our toilet block will leave your toilet smelling fresh
- logo for a desktop window manager
- would you like to try our pistachio pudding?
- logo for a desktop window manager in 2004
- check out this specialist fetish group
- check out this new version of Appleβ’ MacOSβ’
- check out my weird dick, guys
- rat poison
- while exploring the park you may encounter these species: borb
Missing my Fluxbox
The Xfce logo looks like it's for rat poison.
Dan "hold her tighter, she's a fighterβ Schneider
Huh, I didn't know Nickelodeon's Dan Schneider had his very own Linux distro.
Why the hell is the GNOME logo a foot. I hate it.
ChatGPT:
The foot logo of the GNOME desktop environment represents the GNOME project's original mascot, which is a foot with sandals. It symbolizes the project's focus on freedom, flexibility, and forward movement in the world of open-source software.

KDE | Gnome | Cinnamon

You're welcome
Not the first ;D
My grampa used to say "you don't have to be the first, you have to do it better than the others"

As someone who doesn't know any Linux logos, I have to conclude these are Toilet Linux, 400bpm Linux, SCROG Linux, Ketamine Linux, Fetlife Linux, Waterwars Linux, Penis Inspection Day Linux, Microsoft Windows 11, and some variant where the volume is stuck at max and will bite you Linux.
Honest question - what about these are skeuomorphic? I mean, I know that the Save button icon being a floppy disk is skeuomorphic because we don't save our files on floppies anymore, but what about these are no longer necessary to the concept?
Skeuomorphic means designed to mimic a real life counterpart it has nothing to do with being obsolete
Though I agree that skeuomorphs are generally concrete rather than abstract representations, ignoring the obsolescence aspect means that almost any design element that looks like a concrete object (however stylized it may be) would then be a skeuomorph, right?
Your camera app icon that looks like a camera lens - skeuomorph? I'd say no because cameras still have lenses.
When you use your camera app and your phone speaker plays a sound that mimics an SLR shutter clicking even though your phone's camera doesn't use a shutter curtain - skeuomorph? Yes, it mimics something familiar from a previous design no longer necessary in the current design.
I am a bit of a word nerd and recognize that words can change in meaning over time, but I've always understood skeuomorph to be in line with my usage. Can anyone point me to an alternate definition?
Read this
https://thoughtbot.com/blog/abstraction-vs-skeuomorphism
If the user interface of a camera app is designed like a real life camera, it's skeuomorphic, but most phone camera apps are completely abstract
A skeuomorph is a derivative object that retains ornamental design cues (attributes) from structures that were necessary in the original.[3] Skeuomorphs are typically used to make something new feel familiar in an effort to speed understanding and acclimation. They employ elements that, while essential to the original object, serve no pragmatic purpose in the new system.
(Wikipedia)
I dont think these logos are skeuomorph either
Yes, this means for example using a Pen as a writing icon. You do not need a pen, to write on a computer.
This just means that they're similar, it's something else when it comes to obsolescence like floppies. The goal is to design it in such a way that it's an analogue to some familiar counterpart.
This is in contrast to more abstract design patterns
Some devs of yore considered using another icon for save. A piggy bank. The idea was considered for a while, and was finally scrapped in favour of the traditional floppy.
This was in an old version of word apparently. Assuming that the story is authentic.
Lets collect random symbols like that
(These are only in Android, keepassdx and jerboah)
- floppy: save
- pen: edit
- chain: link
- globe: internet
- sizzor: cut
- notepad: paste/clipboard
- studio mic: audio
- trashcan: delete
- airplane: antennas off
- radio cell: hotspot, wifi
- metal bell: message
- server rack: storage
- speaker: sound
- sun: brightness
- key: encryption, vpn
- lock: encrypted / needs permission escalation
- unlock: decrypted, readable by current user
- folder: directory
- folder with zipper: archive
- house: home dir, launcher, main view
- clothes pin: attached file
- letter: email
- gear: configuration
- magnifying glass: search
- laboratory glass: experiment
- picture with mountain or sunflower: gallery
I tried to search for it and found nothing, so I've to ask.
Why on earth we use mountain symbol for gallery/images ?
Found nothing too. Its an impressive scenery
High quality shitpost
Donβt kinkshame the Linux users
What is the last one?
Budgie propably
Eh I thohght the other bird was budgie so now what is that? Kingfisher?
Looks like kolibri maybe. Or some other lightweight bird
Can your lemmy client display SVG?
PNG
Voyager can handle SVGs. The image you linked for the SVG is invalid. When I try to load it in a browser, it says there is a server error.
Same, think I fixed it.
Nah, I use sync. No svg version visible
Same on Jerboah
Same with Voyager
Likely an issue with the link, check again
It works now, siiiiick
I know which one Quintin uses
