Thank you for your posts. I find them great to read over coffee and it really helps me stay informed!

Given how VMWare apparently is pulling this is wouldn’t be surprised. I’ll give it a shot. Worst case I learn something new!

It’s for personal use only. Should I be switching to native Linux virtualization with KVM or something?

It’s free and works for me, why should I stop using Virtualbox?

I stupidly bought a VMWare Workstation license when I first got on the Windows 11 train. Bright eyed and bushy tailed and all that rubbish. My experience was such shit that I abandoned it all for Linux and Virtualbox.

Fuck Microsoft, fuck VMWare.

This is probably my main issue. I have a technical problem, I provide detailed reasons why it is a problem, and propose solutions. I ask for feedback from the team, because I don’t want to railroad people and appreciate multiple perspectives.

I’ll try to be more succinct in my messages going forward, which are generally only 5 sentences or so. If this issue still persists I have another problem.

I like your style, internet stranger.

We’re just circling a big drain

It may be my perspective comes from western civilization, but do Buddhists have similar child abuse scandals?

That is one of the things that makes lemmy unique - if you want to, you can spin up your own instance and make a community. It can even be the same name!

I am all in on decentralized social media at this point. I really dislike the ads, astroturfing, and fake accounts meant to boost brands.

I stole it from somewhere else, so seems only fair

The cosmic horrors persist, but so do I

I left reddit and deleted my accounts, post and comment history. I had modded a couple high sub communities there and felt it had become less friendly over the years. I initially joined in 2011 but only really started using it during the Digg exodus.

Lemmy feels like old school reddit. So I use it 99% of the time and only check some very specific subreddits when I need to look up something for work.

Ouch my balls

It’s down all around but not 40% down

Thanks for the write up! I guess I took for granted what I knew and need to read further into this change. Appreciate you taking your time to educate us all.

Not exactly. Since we have a tiered tax system, you’ll pay more on every dollar UP TO a certain bracket, and less on every dollar OVER that limit if I understand it correctly

Damn it, I’ll take the corpse

Every moment of your life, you have been traveling through space and time. Even in the time it takes you to read this comment, you have passed through vast distances on the rock we call Earth.

Imagine they accept the refugees, then a rug pull happens and aid stops anyway
