  • I suspect companies behind needlessly memory-intensive software would rather push (harder) towards cloud services, or ignore the problem entirely - I’m sure they’ll find a way to enshittify their products in a way that solves the problem for them, or see lower profits and learn absolutely nothing.
    If the software in question is something people need for their job, those companies can absolutely just decide that it’s not their problem and that you’ll just have to face the shortage head-on.

    I recall listening to half of a video from SumitoMedia, where his answer to your question is, quote, “do you hear how fucking stupid you sound?” (you can probably guess why I didn’t watch the rest of it).













  • (edit: MARKDOWN FUCKED UP THE SPOILERS, readers beware)

    Robin from Iconoclasts:

    • Pacifist until the end (depending on the definition of “end”), despite the game’s pixel aesthetic it tries to make it clear that murder is her last option;
    • Altruistic, she goes out of her way to help people with complete disregard of her own safety;
    • Doesn’t talk much;
    • Kind hearted, doesn’t reject a well-intentioned yet spoiled acquaintance even though fucking up is his character arc and everyone hates him;
    • Plot spoiler

      becomes friends with Jesus and goes with him back to heaven

    • Ending spoiler

      fucking kills god, then fills Him with seeds (tbf all the poor guy did was pull up at the gas station and have strangers harass Him)

      • Plot spoiler

        she also fills Jesus’ mom with seeds, I’m beginning to think she has a thing for the clergy







  • Windows 10 and 11 really dislike HDDs, that’s probably why you can’t admit to using HDDs online without getting stones thrown at you (I’ve been there before).

    I’ve disabled paging files (= swap) for one of my Windows VMs, unfortunately - to my surprise - that only had a small performance boost, and I still need to let the VM chug for a few mintes before it even lets me open File Explorer.

    … but it does improve performance, definitely consider doing it if you don’t need swap/paging/whatever they call it now.
