This makes me think you’re empathetic enough to not be able to think of a world without other humans. I like that. It’s a good place to be.

I just wonder if it’s fine to leave something for those who come after you, though …

This is such a lovely answer, thanks.

Oh, if it matters, I also run Memory Clean 2 to monitor RAM usage and do Extreme Clean from time to time.

I forgot about this because it’s basically muscle memory at this point, but maybe this is making a difference?

As of right now with just Sibelius, Scrivener, and about 40 browser tabs (no Adobe), I have 2.01 GB free.

e: I downvoted my original comment since it’s now occurred to me that this app may be why my machine isn’t struggling.

Yeah, I’m not sure about Tahoe since my machine is too old so it won’t let me upgrade, but at least Sequoia has been fine with 8GB.

Sequoia.

That’s not true at all.

I constantly have Illustrator, Photoshop, Sibelius, Scrivener, and about 100 browser tabs open on my 10 year old MacBook with 8gb of RAM without issue.

Sounds like a 120.

Perhaps that’s part of my 180 on this – I was a software dev and senior UXD for 30 years.

Totally get you.

That people are smart.

Most people are abject morons who still believe in Iron Age mythology.

I was answering this as a dev and designer. That’s why this is more work.

Oh, then the dipshit is definitely going to try it.

For your layout preferences, colours, other UI options, states (what ‘back’ means), things like that, usually.
If you have an account, what page you were on last, your history so it can give you related items, and other ‘convenience’ features.

Less ethical sites use them to advertise to you, and (more rarely) some scammers use them to scam you.

Most are benign, but some are not.

Everyone wants a demon bursting through the ground in an explosion of lava. There are classes for that. Nobody has ever asked for a scarf in our game, and our code doesn’t even know what a neck is.

Hahahaha. No.

Oh shit, I didn’t read the overall message at first and thought hell yeah, I’m a bunch of these things.

But they’re anti-these things, so fuck them.

I want to make mostly the same sign but with the opposite message.

e: also, pencil neck weak kneed gutless men are my jam. Plus long haired freaky people. They can apply.

Good on them.

You do deserve better. I am glad you can see that now.

Yeah, IIRC when a bunch of large corporations got away with doing this in the 1980s and 90s, a lot of us just assumed it would keep happening. Some people have tried raising the alarm about this, but have been shouted down pretty consistently.

I am sorry you had to go through that growing up. It makes perfect sense that would influence your first/last desires.
