Looks to me like they are just censoring any instance of their username, possibly because it contains their real name.

Edit: also device name

    Haven't really touched Mint myself, other than moving my dad's computer to it. I don't think it shows the user or device name over by the clock. Unless that XP skin adds it, I don't think that's it.

    Given the "Overcast" bit, maybe it shows a zip code for the weather or something?

    Again, I'm not settled on a particular distro yet for sure, but most of my experience is with PopOS so far, and there's nothing identifying there, so I'm not positive.

    I've installed Mint on 2 family member PCs, but I haven't used it myself other than in passing.
