“come in!”

i wanted to be a pilot. I became a software engineer. big mistake

a nas at the opposite ind of the house. If the whoue house goes boom, I have bigger problems to worry about than my data

the one where they had to change everyone else’s accents because she was unable to change hers?

it lets me

neither do I, and I use kde. You don’t want a desktop? You can turn it off. I did. Just like I used to do on windows

One adapts to me.

The other requires me to adapt to it.

with automated password rotation, and no api access (no permission to use api access, that is) to the keyvault. And they expected us to automate stuff too!

didn’t see the guy! fucker threw cash right into my eyes!

lol asimov’s stories were all about ways those rules don’t really work

maybe they decided they were bored of standing in one place and craved freedom. Have they tried looking in wide open green spaces for a flock of flocks?

you’re talking about caching, which is not counted and does not count as in use. Closed source != magic. They don’t do anything open source stuff can’t (I still can’t believe you thought a cellular connection was magic)

What do you think they’re doing that requires gigabytes of ram?

Thinking having a cellular connection is significantly any more memory intensive than a wifi or ethernet connection tells me that it’s you who doesn’t have the faintest idea of anything. You’re projecting

well actually, yes we do know, by actually checking. You cannot guarantee anything.

in my laptop, not my pc, but yes. And it doesn’t make a difference. It needs a couple of megabytes of ram. Not gigabytes. A cellular modem does its thing in its own firmware, the driver side is tiny in comparison.

When you work in embedded stuff with kilobytes of ram, you learn to appreciate just how much a little memory could go. Yes, I do know, this shit is my bread and butter

my pc also has a full networking stack, just like the phone. And it has a bunch of services running. And i didn’t count cached memory for either, just what is in use at the moment.

If you had 64gigs of ram you’d want 60+ to be used as cache, not to be “in use”. And i force closed all apps except the one I’m using to write this comment.

Why is it so hard for you to believe stuff is bloated and can actually be significantly more efficient?

My phone doesn’t have all the services my pc has either…

my pc at home, which doubles as a server, which runs plex, qbittorrent and other stuff, idles at about 1.5 to 2 gigs. While signed in to kde

The phone i am typing this on is currently sitting at just under 5gigs in use, jerboa is the only open app.

the screen zooms a bit when you’re about to get hit. It helps a lot with learning timing

the fact that systems exist which don’t, but still do the same things

here we didn’t get to bring our own meals. We weren’t even allowed to go home or keep our phones at all, nor get visitors
