  • The lack of it is not a trend, but a consequence of a deliberate effort to keep it that way.

    I want to believe empathy is inherent to us all (with some exceptions), even if clouded or even manipulated by the lack of critical thinking, which I do consider a skill one has to train (and not related to being smart/intelligent or dumb/stupid).

    I believe, if we all had enough critical thinking, we would have been working together for each other instead of fighting and fucking over each other for the benefit of people in positions of power.

    So, hoping for an “empathy and critical thinking” trend isn’t going to save us the same way hoping for a “cancer suddenly disappears” trend won’t save someone with cancer. It is like this by design, not by coincidence, and we must do a deliberate effort to change it.



  • Another option is VMware Workstation/Fusion now that it is free again, or Virtual Box by Oracle.

    Oh, it is again? Thanks for letting me know! Edit: nvm an account is needed, bleh

    That is what I did for a while. A Debian VM with 2 CPUs MD 8Gb of ram to start playing around with Docker before getting a Pi.

    Will try this out, then, thank you for the advice! Since I got my PC on ethernet, but still got a network card with WiFi that I don’t really use for anything, I could set it up so the Wifi card acts as part of the VM as a different computer in the network, instead of having to configure the same connection both for my PC and the VM, right?
