It's an Internet Explorer meme. In the same spirit as those of yore...

You can tell exactly when that meme was made by the style of the icons.

Ah duh, right, of course.

I haven't used Windows since whenever the hell Win7 came out, so I haven't had to deal with IE for so long for any reason that the trauma's all gone

"Windows needs your permission to continue"

You have no power here.

Was that even a thing in Win7 yet? I only used 7 to play EVE, really, but otherwise I'd been daily-driving Linux since Vista days (which are further in the past than I'd really like to think)

[–] metaStatic@kbin.earth 2 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Super ironically it was the main reason people hated Vista. 7 was an improvement but still cancer for anyone familiar with system permissions on any other system.

[–] hydroptic@sopuli.xyz 1 points 10 months ago

Honestly can't remember much of anything about Vista either except some vague annoyance. I did use it more than 7 but not all that much more, I'd been too ruined by Linux

It's kind of ironically behind the times anyway since Edge became default and went Chromium.

[–] phoenixz@lemmy.ca 2 points 10 months ago (1 children)

From back in the days that chrome wasn't the sucky Internet Explorer of its time
