  • My unpopular opinion: free ram is useless ram. Go on, OS. Put evertyhing into ram. I have 64GB of it. Fill it the fuck up. I want to be able to open things blazingly fast, that’s why its there. The trick is leaving enough so new things can fit without waiting for cleanup. And windows isn’t bad at scaling its usage. Afaik, wIndows installation on 8GB will use less than the same installation when 16GB is available.

    If you had unlimited ram, you’d be mad the OS was wasting time cleaning up behind itself.


  • Bsky enhittified the day it was formed.
    The problem: Twitter is being centrally controlled, by one large corporation which can be corrupted.
    The solution: A new “company” with a “trusted board” instead of investors!
    Bsky is slowly becoming twitter because someone who thinks like businessman can’t comprehend running a project without a company and a “trusted board” behind it, with capital from elsewhere fueling the whole thing. Jack Dorsey probably had good intentions, but he’s just too near sighted (or not the right person) to create a viable alternative disconnected from the business minded framework a true open decentralized twitter replacement needed.





  • Its really a shame. Every OS needs a simple text editor, possibly without formatting support of any kind. You’re not supposed to use it, it just makes it possible to edit basic configurations on the fly and things like that. Instead they support half of word pad and cram in copilot for some reason.
    Although I do admit, I haven’t seen the need to move away from kwrite for a long time. Basic text editor that does what it should and does it right!










  • I’ve watched Linus some 10 years ago and it always seemed like he’s more of a face and a presenter and has others do research and tell him what to do. They give him some minimum info and let him go and make content. He knows more than the average person and apparently that’s enough to make content.
    I wish he took it more seriously. He has a huge platform and can reach a lot of people and he often rather uses it for his own enrichment instead shining a light.
