    You have seriously misread Lemmy as a whole if you think having three devices is going to make people angry. What an odd thing to get defensive about.

      There’s many more, those are the Linux devices (plus a steam deck). I don’t like taking about all the shit I’ve accumulated over the years, makes me feel sad and wasteful.

        hey accumulating stuff that you still find use for is better than throwing them away. And you said you give away stuff to other people for their use… which probably saves even more devices from a landfill.

        I have well over a dozen Linux machines running in my home. More than half of them would be considered garbage by most people. Clearly, I disagree.

          At some point, though, you have to come to terms with the power usage.

          One or two modern machines could do everything a dozen shitty old ones do (even if you have to emulates some of them as VMs), and with a lot less power usage than running a dozen shitty old computers.

        I mean, if you are recycling devices that others would have thrown away, I’d say you are not wasteful at all.
