Running Linux now with just under 3.5 GB used, running Firefox with 8 tabs, and the Steam Client open because I was gaming a few hours ago. This is on KDE Plasma Desktop, and nothing was ever optimized by myself for RAM efficiency.
This is just how it works out of the box.

I bet if I tried Windows 11 with 128 GB, I would still think it runs like garbage.

It’s absolutely insane an OS has such re4quirements.
An OS is basically just a kernel with a shell on top for starting apps. Although the kernel of a modern OS is a technological marvel, it doesn’t even require 1GB. The requirement should not be specified by the OS, but for what software is run on top of it.
On Linux you can Run a full fledged desktop, and a web browser and office pack on 2GB easy, and with 4GB even have breathing room, and even have 8 TTY’s available just in case.

What abomination exactly do you mean?
Kospi is a Korean stock index.
I guess you mean AI, I just don’t see AI as one single thing.
AI won’t die, the industry will merely crash economically, but AI services will still be there.
And they need to be way more regulated.

Samsung’s stock price appreciation should lead that of SK Hynix, given the former’s stronger earnings outlook.

This is exactly what I argued the other day, where it was posted that SK Hynix was worth more than Samsung electronics.
There is no way in hell SK Hynix can be worth more than Samsung electronics.

This is crazy… But it’s true.

So maybe try to remember that after the AI bubble burst, and there is more RAM than customers, and it’s the customer that sets the price.

That’s absolutely awesome, sad that they were vilified.

How is it not a bug? The info shown is decidedly wrong!
Would it also not be a bug if your weather app shows freezing 8 C° tomorrow when it’s going to be 40 C°?
Because there’s a perfectly understandable explanation, that they only count to 32 because temperatures didn’t get higher than that 30 years ago, so it counts down from zero when it’s above 40, because that’s how we’ve done it for years.

Just because you know why, and it’s a little bit cumbersome to do it correctly doesn’t mean it’s not a bug.
It’s not only a bug, it’s a lazy ass bug.

Yes this is absolutely how Linux operates, but it’s embarrassing and primitive, and it’s actually decidedly a bug.
I haven’t done much programming for many years, but you used to be able to see if you went a step deeper into the file system operations, whether the file you are copying still has parts in cache.
Just because nobody does it, doesn’t mean it’s not a bug.

There is no sense in showing a progress bar that is wrong anyway.

Focus might be a bit much,
I only have a single feature wish, and that is to have file copy operation progress show correctly.
As it is, if I copy a few gigabytes to an USB stick, it very quickly shows as finished.
But it can take up to a couple of minutes before the operation is actually finished, and the stick can be unmounted and removed.

The easiest way to check I know of, is tom open a terminal and simply use sync. And it seems immensely primitive to me that I have to do that.

This is an age old problem for copying files that began to occur on PC systems way back around 1991, when write cache became a thing for disk operations. And honestly it makes me sad that this problem still isn’t solved now 35 years later. 😥

Otherwise I think KDE is doing great with their desktop, except I think it should just be called KDE desktop, and not that other thing they call it now.

Hampton was drugged, then shot and killed in his bed during a predawn raid at his Chicago apartment by a tactical unit

I must admit I don’t know who he is, but that is an excellent (awful) example of my claim that American society is sick.
A normal police of a civilized country would never do something like that.

I don’t know much about black panthers, but AFAIK they started out as a group protecting black people that were harassed by white people, and whites still practiced segregation in 1969 AFAIK despite it was illegal at the time. The racial hatred was insane! Or maybe it wasn’t decidedly hatred, but a sense of entitlement among whites, and they hated when people of color tried to change that.

As someone who lives in Denmark, this is not something we have any focus on, except possibly an anecdotal story in history class in school.

Anyways people need to learn to pull together on improvements that respect human rights.

The whole world is sick my guy.

False equivalence.

Which Dreamland country where oligarchs don’t control the decisions are you from again?

Oligarchs do definitely not control my country, because I live in a country that has full democracy contrary to USA that is a flawed democracy.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Economist_Democracy_Index

But it’s not because the democracy is flawed that USA is sociopathic, or because the oligarchs have too much power, the American society is literally mentally ill with widespread accept of a level of sociopathy that is only seen in very few countries.
Examples of that are, 3 strikes and you are out, prisoners can’t vote, lack of healthcare for all, extreme fascist-like religious bigotry against LGBT+, death sentence, police shooting civilians. and of course extremely high murder rate, and the most extreme rate of people in prison in the world.
These are points made with broad strokes, there are many more and all of them are caused by a complete sociopathic lack of will in society to fix these problems, and even a sociopathic endorsement of the above conditions. The tendency is to go with the sociopathic solution of just persecuting the victims more.
THAT’S the sociopathy of American society. That you don’t see any other country with remotely equal wealth express to nearly the degree USA does.

The problem is that you can build a way faster system yourself for the same money. And that can be easily upgraded later.
These things are supposed to be relatively cheap for the hardware when they come out.
And this only performs like an RX 6600XT at best. Which is a 5 year old lower mid range GPU.

It’s not that it doesn’t have its merits, it’s a cool little box, and probably good enough for most games at 1080p.
But IMO it is a bit under-powered for the price.

I don’t get it?
Oh I somehow missed the text below the picture.
That’s quite clever. 😋

On that we agree.

Yeah it’s 100% on the people

Ultimately the responsibility is on the people. Who else would it be?

Absolutely, Trump is a symptom not the disease, American society is sick. That doesn’t mean all Americans are sick, there are good Americans. But enough Americans see psychopathy as an expression of freedom. So they are willing to vote for a clear psychopath. The disease in American society is like a cancer, it’s not all cells in the body that are cancerous, but it’s enough to make the society very very sick.

Even if a good candidate is elected, the power comes from the wealthy,

Exactly, taking your country back, should start with taxing the rich heavily, not with giving them even lower taxes. That would be a good start for Americans.

So are you one of those that claim that Republicans and Democrats are the same?
That having a Republican controlled congress with a Republican president is the same as if they were both Democrat?

because if you answer that with a yes, I think I’m just gonna block you.

Edit:

Really downvoted for saying the truth? Americans sure like their delusions and false equivalences. 🤮🤮🤮
