     @slash On Win 7, I found a program that could then run the old after dark screensavers. The semi-games ones were fun

     @coolboymew screensavers should really come back, especially since OLEDs have burn in issues so they’d be functionally useful again.

     @slash I wonder if there's something out there to easily run Windows screensavers on linux

     @coolboymew to run them as screensavers? Probably not. To run them entirely? SCR was just an executable with a different name, made them very insecure but probably WINE will run them fine.

     @Moon @slash I've heard, but then you run into the problem of not having a proper system setting window for them, so you can't properly set them up if needed

     @coolboymew @slash maybe wine because they literally are an eexecutable format on windows

     @Moon @slash so the issue is that you'd need some program to act as that setting window working with wine and working in the background as the thing that starts the screensaver
     
     Couldn't be too hard to make, but I do wonder why it's not a thing

     @Moon @slash Then again, I do wonder how the screensaver setting system call even works. If there's a standard where screensaver.src --setting works, then all you'd need is a central program to take care of the rest

     @coolboymew @slash i don't understand why it would be so hard to just have xscreensaver launch wine which launches the scr

     Apparently screensaver.src /c is the shortcut for settings
     
     But yeah, having it built into xscreensaver and such would be much more ideal

     @coolboymew @Moon I’d probably still be concerned about resolution scaling and whether that would cause issues at this point- unless my monitor would just ignore it and the screensaver is a postage stamp in the middle.

     There is nothing based about that. That host injects JS from Facebook.
