Pook-Emu Bee: Links For 04-15-26
We have a second consecutive warm day in New York City. We also have a third consecutive day of Pook-Emu Bee links. 1. Seven Myths About the Iran War (Michael Doran for Tablet Magazine. April 13, 2026.) Good start. Hard to choose just seven. 2. Someone Bought 30 WordPress Plugins and Planted a Backdoor in All of Them. (Austin Ginder for Anchor. April 9, 2026.) WordPress should send notifications to webmasters whenever an installed plugin from the standard WordPress repository changes […]https://social.emucafe.org/naferrell/pook-emu-bee-links-for-04-15-26/

I don't want to alarm anyone, but my current #KDE setup is very similar to how I used to have my #WindowsVista desktop.
It's so pretty. Also, Vista was the last good version of Windows, it just had a rough start. 7 was just an ugly version of Vista. Don't at me.

For those who love MSN/Windows Live Messenger, it has been revived! This site has been around for awhile, but I thought I should mention it for those who don't know about it and also for those who are tired of modern messaging programs which are often inaccessible. Note that you must create a free account with them and cannot use an old hotmail address or whatever you used with Microsoft's version. This is the same software, but modified to work on their servers. For that reason, even if you have the original on your computer, you should install theirs. There is a way to patch an existing one, but why go through all the trouble? Escargot works on Windows, from XP through 11, and it is completely accessible with NVDA, minus the games, which never worked with screen readers anyway. There are IOS and Android versions, but I have no idea how well they work in general, let alone with VoiceOver or Talkback. If you wish to add me, I am [email protected]. The site can be found here.

@slowbiex I even read that Microslop ceo can't even use that ai hardware they got cos they don't have enough power lmao.
Meanwhile the average person has to think about what they need and want to buy in this fucked up economy
And they cry cos people call them Microslop and their AI crap slop.

It's funny too cos prior to all of that, I had a laptop that had an AMD Athlon X2 QL-64, an NVIDIA 8200M G, and 4 gigs of DDR2-667 RAM. Yes. 4 gigs of DDR2 RAM.
It was my first ever PC. It was running Windows 7 when I got it. It prolly ran Windows Vista originally but I got Windows 10 to run on it even though the components are from 2008. It's also the device where I first dipped into Linux, starting with Ubuntu 18.04.

Speed test pits six generations of #Microsoft #Windows against each other — Windows 11 placed dead last across most benchmarks, 8.1 emerges as unexpected winner in unscientific comparison
Six Lenovo ThinkPad X220 laptops were used in the test, featuring a Core i5-2520M CPU and 8GB of RAM, with a 256GB hard drive — running the latest versions of #WindowsXP, #WindowsVista, #Windows7, #Windows8.1, #Windows10, and #Windows11.

As many workers I must use #Windows daily, useless to say that it essentially a bag of crap...
I personally stopped to use it since 2009, I really forgot how bad can be for other tasks until my son decided to play videogames on its laptop...
While I am totally against it we allowed him because the excellent grades, so basically for school he must use #Devuan / #Linux and to play videogames he reboots in Windows and steam, although he plays mostly #roblox (🤢) with his friends.
And in Windows happens whatever craziest thing... And I am surprised how shitty can be Windows to do anything from graphics to play...
But even more surprise how videogamers cheat about Windows... It is the shittiest OS evere but they want to looks like software expert so they confuse high-end hardware with optimization, only because you need 3/4 of it only to run Windows smooth...
On any other OS but not the commercial ones, including: #Android; #ChromeOS; #MacOS; you get better performance.
I dare to say the #enshittification started with #WindowsVista...

Was Windows Vista actually bad? I built a 2009 Dream PC (i7, 12GB RAM, etc.) to give it the high-end hardware it deserved & finally test the "bloat" theory. We install Vista Ultimate, enable Aero, & run Crysis! The final answer is here!

Potentially stupid questions:
I found a Windows Vista "re-installation" DVD that came with a laptop a long time ago.
❓Could it be possible to make a Linux/Windows dual boot that way?
❓Or: Can I install Windows on an iMac?
❓Or is an old computer/laptop the better option?
I wouldn't want/ need internet connection, but it would be nice to have some Windows version available for my old mp3 player to hopefully work again.

I may have caught the #FrutigerAero bug. I also think #WindowsVista and #Windows7 were the best-looking operating systems. Thus, I've been working on a new theme option for Admiral Shark's Keyboards that looks a lot like Aero! Some screenshots of what is to come... WIP, of course.

@ruisan @manum yo soy mayor y sí, empecé con Red Hat, Mandrake, Mandriva... luego lo intenté con Debian y era demasiado para mí en esa época. Cuando salió Ubuntu estuve yendo y viniendo de Fedora a Ubuntu, hasta que en 2009 con un portátil con Vista en que no se podía hacer nada puse Ubuntu Karmic Koala y hasta hoy. #Ubuntu #Fedora #redhat #debian #WindowsVista #Mandrake #Mandriva

Esta tarde igual instalo, agarrate, #windowsvista casi ná! 😜🤣🤣🤣
Será la primera vez, quiero usar Aero, el primigenio (no el del 7, es mas el Pc venía con el 7 lo voy a downgradear 🤭🤣).
Acabaré en downgrade maximus en xp? Será justificado el odio a Vista? 🍿🍿🍿

Recently did a week long experiment in which I commited to use Windows Vista in the modern day. No joke, I used a secondary machine as my main rig for the week, in which I considered my own use case, aswell as a few other ones in an attempt to answer this interesting question. It's in Portuguese, so you'll have to translate it at best.
Hope you enjoy it! :)

Wow, there's a #WindowsVista theme for KDE.
Vista was the last version of Windows that actually excited me. I even pre-ordered the Ultimate retail box to run on my new build (AMD Athlon & Geforce 7900GT) after using the beta.
Yes, that Vista. It was great. It was all downhill from there (yes, that includes 7, which was basically a service pack for Vista which made the UI slightly worse).

Are we still doing #ThrowBackThursday ? This is from 2007 when I was crashing the Windows Vista Launch event. I was walking past Best Buy in downtown Manhattan when a large crowd of photographers caught my eye. It turned out a guy in a bright red sweater was there presenting the then-new Windows Vista OS. I certainly didn't have an invitation, but I was carrying my Nikon D-7000 with a tele-zoom lens. Apparently, that was enough to get me mistaken for a member of the press – which I definitely wasn't! I really should have bought that #10000 Windows Vista box. 😂

Hello #Fediverse, here’s today’s daily OS-tan!
This one is of Mutsumi Madobe, a lesser-known member of the Madobe family and a personification of Windows Vista! Mutsumi is portrayed as the older sister of Nanami Madobe who represents Windows 7, though her origins could be seen as quite unique compared to other OS-tans.
Mutsumi first appeared through tweets made from Nanami’s Twitter account beginning on October 3, 2009. While she was never officially used for promotional campaigns, she did show up in some Madobe Family Trees included with official merchandise. On special occasions like April Fool’s Day 2010, she “took over” tweeting duties, using the hashtag #6me.
Unlike Nanami she has no official artwork but on April 20, 2010 the artist Sappappa designed an unofficial interpretation of her based on her tweets. This fan-made depiction gained enough popularity to inspire derivative artwork.
Mutsumi’s design and character reflect her connection to Vista. She’s a little taller than Nanami and is often noted for her larger bust, perhaps showing Vista’s higher memory demands compared to Windows 7 (the same case with XP Pro-tan). She loves eating gyudon and prefers to skip outdated software in favor of new releases: a subtle nod to the compatibility struggles that Vista faced during its time.
There was even a joke site made for her you can find here: http://www.t1500.com/april/2014/

At least, if you're like me and consider 15-year-old laptops that give me nostalgia “retro”! This Dell Inspiron 1420 has been with me through a lot. In 2008, I convinced my parents to support my budding interest in computer programming by getting me a laptop for my birthday. It wasn't the highest-spec'd laptop ever — 4 GB RAM and an almost-irrelevant #PentiumD . But it was mine! And it had this shiny new OS called #WindowsVista and an integrated nVidia GeForce 8400M GS graphics card!
And boy did I use the ever-loving crap out of it. I forced it to play Crysis (24 FPS at 800×600, baby!). I wrote dozens of terrible applications on it in C# in Visual Studio 2008.
One time, I decided to force myself to learn the #Dvorak keyboard layout. Except Dell, in their infinite wisdom, designed the keyboard specifically so that the keys could not be fully re-arranged; you see, the indexing keys — F and J, where your pointer fingers rest in the home position — have their butterfly hinges upside down compared to the rest of the keyboard. As the hinges are not centered on the back of the keycaps, those two keys don't fit in any other position without overlapping adjacent keys.
Well! I had a solution for that! A few minutes with some heavy-duty scissors and F, J, and the new Dvorak home-row keys U and H, were no longer “asymmetrical”!
I abandoned Dvorak after a few weeks - but the keyboard still bears the scars of that endeavor. I've long since lost the F keycap - the butterfly hinge, weakened by being replaced so many times to switch keyboard layouts, no longer held the cap securely and eventually was lost to the sands of time.
This laptop is sitting next to me now, getting a fresh installation of the OS it shipped with — Windows Vista Home Premium. Then I'm going to install some period-correct software — Visual Studio 2008, #Zune, maybe even the #LegoMindstorms programming environment — to create a time capsule of this precious-to-me artifact that sparked the beginning of what would ultimately become my career.

Release Candidates (RCs) were post-beta development builds of Windows. As their name suggests, devs were confident in the stability of these “candidates for release”. During testing, any last-minute issues would be fixed, leading to the final Release To Manufacturing (RTM) build. #DailyWindowsFact #Microsoft #Windows #Windows3 #WindowsXP #WindowsVista #WindowsServer2012
