Even if the same number of cars are on the road, it is likely that the bottleneck is somewhere else in the city, so adding 20 lanes won't help the issue anyway.

This like complaining the bathroom is clogged and your solution is to make the showerhead bigger.

9gag... That's a word I haven't seen in a long time.

Reddit will stay, heck Digg if still around. It won't be the same though.

They can't identify particular and specific interests, but they definitely can predict trends on consumer behaviour. I don't think Google wants your data to predict when you will want Thai. That's preposterous.

They are reaping billions on ad revenue, it definitely works, it won't forever, but it does at the moment.

I actually think the opposite. Reddit is here to stay, sure. But Lemmy will become a more niche space and with better quality for those interested, but not necessarily mainstream, and that's ok.

I wish that was the only thing. I work in science/engineering and lots of software that control equipment are only windows.

There are options like using virtual machines, but it's way to cumbersome and prone to errors, you don't want a measurement that took half a day get ruined because of a stupid communication error.

With some cables sometimes quality is higher with price though. I prefer a good 5 USD usb cable than a shitty one that breaks at the joint after a few days of use.

Same with audio cables for guitars, sound is probably not going to suffer (although really long cables can have some issues), but wear damage is definitely noticeable for the very cheap ones.

Newbie here, how can we support the hosting with our own funds? And how we can be sure it's used as intended?
