Dune II - basically the grandfather of every RTS game out there (and incidentally very, very different from Dune I): opposing forces, resource collection, tech tree, fog of war, et cetera. Or preussiske it was (not World of) War raft, it’s been too long and memory gets fuzzy.

I’m told that on Lemmy you can edit your headlines

That must be a first. At least, I’ve never before heard of a seal on an airplane…

Personally, XP.

Professionally, I’ve been subjected to Windows 10, but promptly installed Linux (and win 10 in a VM). I have refused job offers that insist on windows 10, and will refuse Mac centric press as well.

I admire your logic and life plan.

But, “deserve … geese”? Need more data.

The trouble is that, apparently, “perfect UI” can mean “let’s take all the sidebar tabs, remove their text labels and make all their icons really abstract and in the same colour. Oh, and change their order, too, while you’re at it.”

Thank you from the bottom of my muscle memory and pattern recognition. Now, give us back our old UI that was actually meaningful, or at least make it an option if you insist that your “clean look” is more important than actual usability.

^(Apart from that, I love you JetBrains.)

I do believe this is the most ironing boards I’ve seen in one picture (that doesn’t have to do with ironing boards).

I was unaware they are apparently sought after for cover?

Be warned: not everybody gets this.

Myself, I’ve tried 5-6 different meds and have had nothing in the ways of the described. Might as well have been taking vitamins.

Just so you don’t get too disappointed…

Well there was also gobo Linux, which would let you play Tetris while the installation did its thing.

Aha, interesting, thank you. So setting nofail and a time out of, say, 5s should work… but what then when I try to access the share, will it attempt to remount it?

How the hell do I set up my NAS (Synology) and laptop so that I have certain shares mapped when I’m on my home network - AND NOT freeze up the entire machine when I’m not???

For years I’ve been un/commenting a couple of lines in my fstab but it’s just not okay to do it that way.

The article describes this as"prop money", but doesn’t give further details.

If you’re curious, Adam Savage has a number of videos from Hays Press explaining actual prop money.

Shift/Ctrl+Ins/Del unite! 😁 And yes, muscle memory is a powerful drug. Been using it since before Windows came along, kept using it after. Especially useful after I switched to Dvorak (and yes, I know of Colemak).

What’s with all the back slashes? \ why not use a regular…

…line break?

I have never (before) read a single word of that bible, but may I bestow this upvote upon you for so casually and precisely bringing the requested reference.

Source?

Facial expression looks like OOTS but the rest is more, uh, I hesitate to say realistic…

Correct, it is not.

The Swedes always did build things rather sturdily…

I’ve been extremely fond of “Our Groceries” for many years. It strikes a sweet spot between features and simplicity of use, and the devs are very responsive and have added several features after my suggestions. Really the only downside right now is that it can’t use the front facing camera on my wall mounted android tablet for scanning barcodes.
