For posting all the anonymous reactionary bullshit that you can't post anywhere else.
Rule 1: All posts must include links to the subject matter, and no identifying information should be redacted.
Rule 2: If your source is a reactionary website, please use archive.is instead of linking directly.
Rule 3: No sectarianism.
Rule 4: TERF/SWERFs Not Welcome
Rule 5: No bigotry of any kind, including ironic bigotry.
Rule 6: Do not post fellow hexbears.
Rule 7: Do not individually target other instances' admins or moderators.
Rule 8: Do not post public figures, these should be posted to c/El Chisme

There is a good video that briefly talks about the history of the desktop and how it might shape our thoughts around it (rather than us shaping it to our thoughts). Apple and MS locked themselves to this paradigm as well, so they can't radically change it while maintaining backwards compatibility. They need backwards compatibility because of their business practices and the the practices of their customers. This will end up only being the same old desktop analogy but with a natural language interface trying to bridge the gap between that and whatever the user requests. Probably will create a new layer, a superficial interface, that just manipulates the old desktop UI rather than creating something actually new.
I found a YouTube link in your comment. Here are links to the same video on alternative frontends that protect your privacy:
