There are sane people with this many VMs on a personal machine, right? RIGHT? in c/linux@lemmy.ml

Not VMs but I have way more docker containers. I run most things as containers which keeps the base OS nice and clean and free from dependency hell.

And if I really really really wanted one in my browser (which I don't but for the sake of argument) I'll look for an add-on.

Same reason I don't want my browser to filter or ban my content but I totally use unlock origin.

What books do you consider must reads? in c/asklemmy@lemmy.ml

[–] veroxii@aussie.zone 6 points 3 weeks ago

Especially if you're new to reading, the books worth reading are the ones you enjoy reading.

Like anything else reading is a skill and you get better at it the more you do it. There's a reason we don't start kindergarteners on Tolstoy and Shakespeare.

There are great suggestions in this thread so I'm not going to suggest any more. But I'd recommend to start every new book with an open mind, but if you're not "feeling it" by page 10 or 20 it's 100% okay to put it down and try a different one.

You can always come back to it later. Or not. There are more "must read" books than can ever be read in a lifetime. Find the ones you enjoy and which make an impact on you.

What factors do you think contributed to the "Reddit Hivemind"? How do you believe it can be avoided? in c/asklemmy@lemmy.ml

[–] veroxii@aussie.zone 4 points 1 month ago

Yeah I'm going to show my age here. But I've migrated from fidonet (bbs days) to Usenet. To slashdot. To digg. To Reddit. To Lemmy. And I'm 100% positive one day I'll migrate again.

Forums evolve and change. And once it changes go find your tribe again. Your peeps will still be out there especially this kinda tech leaning crowd.

I've stopped worrying about it. Humans are going to human.
