![[LLM generated] The image is a collection of pixelated stickers reminiscent of a classic computer interface. The stickers are arranged diagonally across a white background and feature various icons, including a chess piece, a mouse pointer, a calculator, "Yes" and "No" buttons, a Windows logo, a file folder, a notepad, a palette, a CD, a mine sweeper mine, an "OK" button, and an MS-DOS logo. The colors are vibrant and the style is distinctly retro.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:ccv4o4c7lswtpdbphc5p3fzn/bafkreihxt66wknzhv5y4xk2qzehlckls4jqi7zy5bdzsuqnpq6qkzjxz5q@jpeg)
