I did this so many times in Dragon Age 3 — it's incredibly glitchy if you're really insistent attempting to ride uphill on a horse 😁

Most of the time I just laugh the remarks about "tech normies" off, but then I stumble upon something like this…
OMG, you need the latest top of the line multicore ARM chip with 36 gigabytes of RAM on it to be more productive… writing code? So your "tools" won't slow you down? This world is doomed! DOOMED!!! 😱

@condret
Why bother typing them in? Ask AI assistant built-into your terminal emulator to help you with that 😜

And that is a good thing, because software developers often assume that you want new features when you only want security updates. Updating is fine and dandy until things start breaking as a result. Backporting security fixes if good, I wish it was still more common, sadly it isn't anymore.

I'm perfectly fine with these things when they are optional, an luckily, there are still distros that allows you to not have them, but at times it gets ridiculous — why would any application, even indirectly, depend on systemd. How can e.g. an instant messenger dictate you what init system to use.
Maintainers of distros that allow for such flexibility have to invest a great deal of effort to work this all around.

Bloat isn't software that you might need or not and that you can easily uninstall like ffmpeg of libreoffice, but thing that build an infrastructure of its own, like systemd or pulseaudio, bringing in a myriad of dependencies, adding another layer of abstraction that you might not want on this machine — or at all! But somehow distro maintainers still assume that you have to have them just for the sake of uniformity.

Don't you need at least Cray EX class machine for that? 🤭

Doesn't "Dual band" in the description mean that it works equally well with both? 🫠

Is this a bad Fedi post or a good one? 🤔

Last time I've seen a process using over a gigabyte was that RSS reader in Python built on top of webkit2gtk, it's obviously not very well designed and built using technologies which are the opposite of being light on the resources.

@iska @scathach @newt @nik
It's a bug then. I'm using Alacritty as the only terminal emulator on two machines, both keep running for weeks and I've never seen anything even remotely like that in terms of RAM usage, you see the average usage on my screenshot yourself. In fact I barely ever see software using over a gigabyte these days, even Firefox stays well within limits.

DF used to be what Minecraft is, I doubt it's as popular nowadays

You can supplement it with a comment to eliminate the ambiguousness.
