Unpopular opinion... I kinda liked that album. Well, not that much but it had a few stand out songs imo

This actually was a thing. Some updates rolled out with a certain U2 album cover (see other comments) for their screensaver. Happened to my far-right Christian mom, she just about had a heart attack over it (she's a homophobic bigot)...

for their screensaver

It is a wallpaper or even a background but definitely not a screensaver.

Just like when a computer does something that isn't Microsoft office, it's all AI to some people now.

Or even older, all games consoles being a Nintendo according to that one relative.

Some people simply don't care enough about something to learn the correct terms sometimes, which is a shame, but it is what it is

Apparently that’s what they call it now. We’re old for noticing.

Looks like someone is doing some self-exploring.

Are they really or are you just projecting what you want them to do?
