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

[–] aeronmelon 24 points 3 weeks ago

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

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)

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.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 3 weeks 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.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

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

Hydroptic, you're goldbloomimg.

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

Seems to be my time to be confused but I have no idea what that means either

[–] [email protected] 2 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

It's a reference to Community and, I guess, to the way Jeff Goldblum speaks.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 3 weeks ago

Ha I didn't remember that at all. Been a while since I rewatched Community

[–] Gradually_Adjusting 9 points 3 weeks ago

The real delayed reaction is how old this meme is.

IE11 was a gigantic improvement over previous iterations. It wasn't anywhere near Firefox or Chrome, mostly because of their respective extension ecosystems. I don't remember it being especially slow though.
