You can call me Xenia (yea like the Linux mascot - unfortunately I'm not the most creative) or Raven or Vix, I'm not the most decisive either. As the user name suggests I am quite a strange lil fox-thing. I mostly read lit-fic, political/economic theory and Maths or CompSci stuff and the occassional urban fantasy, though really anything may pop up here!

If I say something silly or annoying or you otherwise want to get in touch you can find me at: voidadjacent@proton.me Though I may be a bit slow to respond!

Minimalism is the art of knowing how much is just enough. Digital minimalism applies this …

I had a lot of thoughts on this, though I likely won't put up a star rating unless I can make them more coherent. I started it thinking it would be useful foundational material; on having finished it I think it was worth reading for a depth of understanding in differing opinions. Though a warning for potential readers, I myself found it lacked much opinion in either direction.

started reading Cult of the Dead Cow by Joseph Menn

Joseph Menn: Cult of the Dead Cow (Paperback, 2019)

The shocking untold story of the elite secret society of hackers fighting to protect our …

Interesting, I think it would be a good look at the roots of some parts of hacker (as much in the DIY/Alt sense as the other) culture; Unfortunately I am not really in the right space for how it is written at the moment so I don't think I can give a valid critique.
