how free do you think we will we be to talk about piracy here, compared to reddit?

Just my uninformed personal opinion, but the way I see it is that considering Lemmy isn't a corporation and isn't focused on ad revenue, I doubt we'll see the same tight strangulation of rules like we see on other sites. Reddit was a far more free platform in the early days, but once investors and capital growth entered the mix we saw a vast tightening of what was and wasn't accepted on the site. This is just my hope though, as I'm thoroughly enjoying the feeling of the "old" internet that Lemmy has given me since I joined last week.

[Meta] The future of c/formula1 results

Beautiful, exactly what I wanted from this community. While I'm enjoying the new start a lot of communities have had, r/formula1 has always been a fantastic subreddit even as it got bigger and bigger, thanks to the rules and moderation team. Glad to see an attempt to replicate it here, hopefully the discussion is just as strong.

Alonso calls making Lawrence Stroll’s double podium dream a reality in Montreal ‘an aggressive target’ for Aston Martin

I hoping that the encouragement Lance is getting from his 2nd dad helps him progress. I've been a fan of Stroll for a while, since he has shown a few times that he's not JUST a pay driver on daddy's money, but has some raw talent to back up his place in the championship. Not that I believe he could be a front runner, but I could see him touching the top 5 in the points consistently with the car he's currently in if he could just find the pace he has shown in worse cars.

Which upcoming games are you most excited for?

Reply in thread

I'm cautious, but optimistic. The devs haven't given me a reason not to trust them since I first got in to CS1 all those years ago, the DLC has always been fantastic, and the free base game updates that roll in with every new DLC release has been a positive. I'm keen for a more realistic look, and far better optimisations for PC. Unfortunately though it doesn't matter how good it looks when I'm still woeful at making cities haha.

Any homebrew enjoyers out there?

I'm currently using the PS2 I got back at launch as my daily driver, but I'm very wary of capacitors going bad and the laser getting tired, so I'm in the market for another system without as much sentimental value to run an SSD in and possibly reshell. I've got freemcboot on my system atm but without an internal hard drive the USB speeds are woeful for gaming. Worse than disc loading sometimes. I'll hopefully start diving further in to the homebrew rabbithole once I've got that sorted.
