  I used to work in Amesbury very near this site and I can tell you this completely unnecessary.

  Sure fix the potholes but 2bn for 2 miles of duel carriage way that ultimately won’t speed up journeys between London and the shitholes on the A303 (eg. Salisbury) just aren’t worth it.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Is lemmy now what reddit used to be 10+ years ago?⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I’ve been on Reddit for 16 years and I’d say yes it’s very similar. Like Reddit back then it was very tech focused and quite liberal.

  I do think people are a bit more vicious online these days than they used to be and a bit more polarised.

  From a content perspective there used to be more blog content than tech news content, but it’s fairly similar. What I like about Lemmy is it’s far less commercial and the conversation is more genuine.

  However I don’t think Lemmy will become Reddit in 15 years, I think it may languish in eternal obscurity and I’m actually okay with that.

  Reddit exploded when Digg crumbled and the same could happen with Reddit crumbling but idk, there seems to be some stickiness to Internet websites these days.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The “Require videogame publishers to keep games they have sold in a working state” petition just got a response.⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I can go to Google and log in to free email. I can create word documents and spreadsheet in google docs. I can learn AI with Google projects. I can create unlimited private repos on GitHub, play lots of games on steam for free. I can download Winamp from oldversions.com for free. I can get a Linux distro for nothing off servers. I can use a freevpn, watch YouTube for free.

  Literally handing over game servers to an authorised community to run or supporting games forever actually is possible in the modern day.
