Anyone here remember "The Sweet Page"?

What is that?

[–] [email protected] 4 points 3 months ago

It was this browser. Typical spyware stuff for the time. For some reason I always managed to get it on my computer when I was younger.

One time when I was a teenager, I somehow downloaded exactly the wrong porn and then my login screen background and windows xp startup splash screen all got replaced with a Debian logo.

Isn't this an improvement?

[–] [email protected] 10 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Nothings a improvement over windows xp not even Linux

Back in the days, you're probably right. Nowadays? I wouldn't connect online with Windows XP...

To be honest. Windows XP is probably still good to use just with a decent router. most router firewalls are good enough on there own to keep out nasties. Other than that the best antivirus is common sense.

Good luck with software compatibility. The latest web-browser you can run on Windows XP is probably 10 years out of date by now and riddled with exploits, same with network share protocols, printer drives, etc. Your router will not protect you of attacs using port 443 or 80. Same for antivirus software, where are you going to find an updated one working on XP?

Let's remaster Windows XP. Call it Windows XP. Update security, compatibility.

Oh, wait, that's basically Linux

[–] [email protected] 2 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago)

I would love someone to develop Linux distribution that looks and works like XP. oh the nostalgia. Best of both worlds world's best UI and based off linux preferably something nice and easy like Debian or Ubuntu. To help windows users get familiar with Linux
