- Comment on Over £1 billion to boost bus services across the country as bus fares capped at £3. 3 weeks ago:
I love playing “will the train be cancelled today?” every morning. Luckily covid’s WFH revolution means I have a plan b, but for people who have to go in every day… I pity them.
- Comment on A TikTok alternative called Loops is coming for the fediverse | Users own their content, and Loops doesn’t sell or provide videos to third-party advertisers or train AI on them. It will be open source 3 weeks ago:
Of all the reasons to hate these messaging apps, it’s because messages last forever? I’d get it if you were concerned that private companies don’t really delete your messages, but you know the average person using these apps actually does want their messages to last?
- Comment on House prices close to record high, says Halifax 1 month ago:
Is it confidence among buyers, or confidence among sellers? Don’t try and make it sound like we’re happy to be paying tens of thousands more!
- Comment on Fish and chips price rise tops UK takeaways 2 months ago:
It’s been over £10 everywhere I’ve been for many years. Just haven’t been able to justify it, especially when they skimp out on the chips ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
- Comment on How do people in this day in age become nazis/neonazies sexist or even incels when there is so much knowledge against it? Do they get anything out of being that way? 2 months ago:
The guy wasn’t talking about vaping though, but smoking. The one we know for sure gives you a ton of issues and health problems.
Whilst I agree it’s not a great analogy for right wing beliefs, I’d say it works as a good analogy for incel behaviour. I knew a guy who had fallen into that trap but managed to find his way out. When I asked him about it, he said it helped him cope, that it was easier to believe that it wasn’t his fault things were so shitty.
I really respect how he was able to realise that the things he and the people around him were saying was bullshit, and it made me realise that a lot of these people are being taken advantage of by “influencers” spewing this harmful rhetoric.
- Comment on Golden age of English universities could be over, says head of watchdog 2 months ago:
Increased tuition fees? I guess 50k in debt isn’t enough punishment for a decision 18 year olds are pressured to make.
Are European universities struggling as much? Because my (same age) co-workers say they only had a few thousand in debt for their entire courses, so there must be another way of doing things.

Nope! Just jump right into 2’s single player mode and enjoy the ride.
- Comment on Elon Musk shares fake news about England rioters being sent to Falklands 3 months ago:
Obviously he doesn’t spend enough time causing issues for his own companies and country, that he has to try and stir shit across the pond to cure his boredom.
How about you do something good with that spare time for once?
- Comment on GPs, pharmacies and airports in UK hit by IT outage 3 months ago:
Had the day off work to attend my sister’s graduation in this heat, only to hear the lads in the (lovely air conditioned) office essentially had a day off due to this. Can’t believe my luck today 😢
- Comment on Here’s how much Valve pays its staff — and how few people it employs 4 months ago:
Side note: Valve isn’t doing the thing Unity tried to do. Unity tried to charge you every time someone installs the game. And you’re not even hosting the game’s data on Unity’s servers.
Steam takes money when you purchase, then will let you download it for free, anytime, anywhere, and on any device. Completely different.
Back on topic: It would be really interesting to see the actual server and bandwidth costs for hosting and distributing all those games. There’s no way it’s super low, or any of the competition surely would have caught up by now.
- Comment on Microsoft starts testing ads in the Windows 11 Start menu 7 months ago:
How’s that fairing? I’ll be switching once the last few games I care about get support, but as someone new to Linux with a NVIDIA card I’m feeling a little lost.
Lemmy likes to say Nobara is great for gaming but Mint is great for newcomers, and I really don’t want to have to come home and tinker with my PC after work.
