Not in British English, no.

Umm… maybe. It went into my cup* of knowledge!

*I put something else here but it got corrected and then I couldn’t remember what I put.

I read the entire set of Amiga manuals, and the one for the Spectrum +3 (we’re stretching the definition of Operating System here, but +3DOS is still an operating system)

I believe it’s to do with hand cleanliness. When you enter, you push the door as your hands are dirty (maybe shove it with your arm or something), then when you leave your hands are (supposed to be) clean so you pull the door as it’s a nice clean handle to grab.

I don’t get it either, but that’s what I’ve heard as the reason.

And colours! So many colours.

The material’s always nicer too.

Firelord is an old one but gorgeous. Chicory is pretty, in a colouring book sort of way. Child of Light and Forgotton Anne have fairly similar aesthetics but are both lovely.

Activating the Super Sheep in Worms DC. It was always “argh, I can’t control this, kaboom I’ve blown up one of my own worms”, but it was fun to try!

I’m not a bot. I am a bunny.

I use ACalendar+. There’s a free and a paid version.

There is also !trendingcommunities@feddit.nl and this was posted the other day: https://stirante.github.io/lemmy-discover/

Most of the ones I created;

!teletext@fedia.io

!yoursinclair@fedia.io

!dtt@feddit.uk

!dabradio@feddit.uk

!beds@feddit.uk

!chiptune@fedia.io

!lemmings@lemmings.world

All of these are largely just me posting! The last two do get occasional posts from others.

I think it’s because they all show up as being boosted by the group.

You can follow communities from Mastodon with format @lemmings@lemmings.world (ie replace the exclamation mark with an @). It’s a miserable experience though. It’s better to follow communities using Lemmy or Kbin (I’m not sure if Calckey works better).

RISC OS. It’s quite unique, and the UI design is great. Want to save a file? Drag this icon where you want to save it. Access the menu? Middle button, oh and it’s all context sensitive, directly under the pointer. Applications are just directories - there are no hidden files.

There’s an open source equivalent at https://codidact.com/

Actually this one’s on Mastodon at @firstdogonthemoon@aus.social

Two, and a Kbin. The first instance was just for bots (friendly ones I made), then I signed up for this account to use as an alt as Kbin is a bit flaky. Kbin is my main account but I’m using this one quite a bit due to frequent 500 errors over there.
