Godus was a huge disappointment, basically a “what if Populous was a mobile skinner-box clicker with time-gating and micro-transactions?”

Magic Carpet (1994) was a really interesting take on the genre, also by Bullfrog. Imagine the god-sim mechanics of Populous combined with a 3D flight-sim/shooter and you get Magic Carpet.

Their post is specifically about Populous: The Beginning which came out in 1998 and was the first Populous game to use 3D graphics. It has quite different mechanics than the original Populous games, and you can see the DNA of Black & White emerging, with the concept of having a leader character that has an important role in the gameplay.

QED

Just because the post complies with one rule doesn’t mean that it is now exempt from all other rules. I already posted the part of the rules which it violates: “No opinion pieces, Listicles, editorials or celebrity gossip is allowed.”

I’m not sure where you went wrong, but maybe take a few minutes before coming in so hot next time

What does “coming in so hot” mean? Posting something that you disagree with?

This isn’t gossip, the police department confirmed that it happened.

Do you think that “gossip” means things that aren’t true?

Recent developments about prominent figures are news even if you don’t think it’s newsworthy.

The rules of this community disagree with you.

6. All posts must be news articles.

ITT: Rust programmers rewriting the joke in Rust.

You could try VanillaOS 2.0 Beta which is a Debian-based immutable distro, planned for final release later this year.

This takes me back about 20 years.

That’s kind of true, but MacOS and Mac OSX are 2 different things

Then Windows 3.0 and Windows 11 are two different things, so by that metric you can’t include Windows either.

all the way from 1991 to 2024, I think the only other OS that has managed that is Windows

It’s easy to forget about MacOS when it only has 15% desktop market share.

Operating systems that started before 1991 that are still in active development (had a release in the last 12 months):

• Multics (1969-)
• MVS (1974-) via OS/390 (1995-) -> z/OS (2001-)
• VMS (1977) via OpenVMS (1992-)
• BSD (1978-) via 386BSD -> FreeBSD, NetBSD -> OpenBSD
• HP-UX (1982-)
• SunOS (1982-1994) via Solaris (1992-)
• MacOS (1984-)
• AIX (1986-)
• RISC OS (1987-)

Almost made it:

• Minix (1987-2017)
• Genera (1982-2021)
• AmigaOS (1985-2021)
• NeXTSTEP (1987-1997) via GNUStep (1993-2021)
• IBM i (1988-2022)
• SpartaDOS (1988-2022)

but it does make me happy to see articles condemning their moves almost every day

Did you read this article? It’s a pro-Microsoft article published on MSN (Microsoft Network).

So the training environment was not Touhou? So what does the training environment look like? I’d be interested to see that, and how it improved over time.

He was in the airport, remember. Not in a local market.

I lost my earbuds in a remote town in Chile, so tried buying a new pair at the airport before flying out.

…

True Apple lightning devices are more expensive to make.

…

I wish @Apple would devote an employee or two to cracking down on such a technological, psychological abomination as this.

He wants to take away a budget option from developing countries where people can’t afford the expensive version of the proprietary technology, and he wants Apple to be the one to do it?

Fuck this guy.

It was more than just a special icon for a folder, it had special behaviour too. Without looking it up (in the spirit of the meme), I seem to remember that it would automatically sync the files any time that you insert the floppy disk, kind of like having Dropbox but without the internet. The idea being that you would have files on your computer that you could take with you somewhere else (in your briefcase, on a floppy disk) and all instances of that briefcase would automatically sync the latest updates of the files without you having to manually copy them and work out which was the latest version of a file.

For anyone that has to wait for their distro package manager before they get this update, here is a workaround for the most annoying bug (losing the ability to drag/re-order tabs in Firefox):

If the bug is present, you will find that drag-and-drop functionality has seized working in Firefox and it is not possible to select and drag drop images, texts, URLs, tabs etc.

4 Either restart Firefox or do the following to restore drag-and-drop functionality:

a Open another application like a text editor.

b Enter some random text, select it en drag it unto the URL-bar area in Firefox.

This will cause Firefox to try and open the selected text as if it were a URL.

c After this, try step 1 again to see if drag-and-drop functionality has returned.
