Real talk it was probably Heather works under her and asked "hey what do I do when a large picture of mustard appears on my screen" and Director Of Finance said "reboot and if it's still there I'll let so-and-so know from IT, then emailed it off to so-and-so from IT directly instead of entering a ticket
Edit: actually reviewing the screenshot it looks like this email was to the ticketing system so Director of Finance appears to have followed the correct prcoess
This is almost guaranteed to be correct.
*typo
My headcannon is more like, Director stops by and wants to know why Heather is looking at mustard bottles again, she has been warned about this, you see. She suddenly jumps and says "Oh, it uh, I was just working and then this happened." Well that's not fair is it? It's not like she was intentionally looking at mustard again
And that's the thing about IT, we save people's jobs. Even freaks. Blame us, Heather, our shoulders are broad.

You know they have one of those calculators on their desk with the spool of paper so they can check the math.
Since this seems like a preventable issue for me, I wanted to disable the Set As Desktop Background… option in Firefox.
That was not as straightforward as I thought it would be:
- Settings: nope
- about:config: nope
- userChrome.css: The Internet, and LLMs tell you yes, but actually nope
What you have to do is create a policies.json file and put that somewhere…
Here is the deeply buried site from Mozilla about that. There you will find where to put it and all the options.
For this problem a short policies.json with the following content is enough:
{
"policies": {
"DisableSetDesktopBackground": true
}
}
Why did I do this in the middle of the night instead of browsing ich_iel or I dunno sleeping. Who knows…
In a corporate environment where you care about such things, you really want to disable the functionality of the user setting the background in the operating system, not in a specific application. Otherwise, you're going to have to track down every application that includes this functionality, figure out how to disable it it in that application, and find a way to apply that change to every PC. (Microsoft's Photos app, for example, can set pictures as either background or lock screen.)
Instead of locking down the the ability to set the wallpaper via Firefox, just set a static image as the wallpaper via GPO. A company logo or something. Then it will apply at every restart.
Why do webbrowsers, file managers, always have the option "set as your desktop background" in a easy to accidentally click place in the context menu? No, i add it myself to the "backgrounds" folder if i care.
Are you saying you've never been shopping online, saw a shapely bottle of mustard, and then wanted to set it as your desktop background as quickly as possible? Why, it's the next best thing to having a framed photo of the sexy, squeezable condiment with low calories and delectable flavor.
You have created the perfect comment. I hope to encounter this comment again, randomly, all across Lemmy.
Thanks. I storyboard all my comments with my team. Moxy the cat and Wilford Brimley, my Japanese Chin.
It should have been sorted by penis.
"there is no arrange by penis option"
What was that called already? Can't remember the name!
The website is down.
MUSSSSTAARRRRRRRRRRRD
Crop to selection in Paint.net: ctrl + shift + x
Set as wallpaper in IrfanView: ctrl + shift + x
Happens to me all the fucking time.
Because you obviously need a shortcut to set a wallpaper lmao.
Are mustards in America classified by their colour instead of French, Dijon, English, Blow-Off-The-Top-Of-Your-Head, etc?
They're labeled by type; one of those types happens to just be called "yellow." It's smooth and vinegary. Good on hot dogs and burgers.

No, yellow mustard is the cheap standard stuff. The rest exist in NA too.
Not american, but in america I'm pretty sure mustard is just yellow dye.
Heh heh, Americans will finish posting their “British food” memes and then go back to squirting flavourless yellow paste onto a bag of par-boiled ground pigdick.
There are zero artificial ingredients in yellow mustards.
Vinegar, Water, Mustard Seed, Salt, Tumeric, Paprika.
All the color is from tumeric.

It's clearly rated according to fluorescense.
French
English
Naming them by the country of origin is almost equally odd to me. You literally mentioned Dijon, which is also French. So wtf is French mustard supposed to mean. There's probably dozens or hundreds of French mustards.

On America we refer to all of those as "fancy mustard". This yellow abomination is the default.
