Let's hope so, at least with OSes.

Realistically speaking, there's really no reason to NOT improve the performance of your software, now - especially when selling your software depends on the cost of the hardware being cheap, as has always been the case for Microsoft. LLMs have made this kind of bughunt/performance optimization obscenely cheap.

There is no good reason for the OS itself to use 4+GB of memory and interfere with application operation. It's just laziness on the part of the developers.

More broadly, I think the preponderance of shitstack slop written in python and typescript are more likely to be an impediment to long term optimization. And as long as it's the default choice by LLMs (as it seems to be), we'll be getting a lot more of it.

Let me know when they can get a useable install down to 4GB, officially. The last time I used Windows 11, it was atrocious even on 32GB.

Super alone to pop up the menu started working properly for me in Devuan recently... with KDE, that is. It was super irritating that I had to use super-something instead. I did find a hacky fix but I didn't like it, but now I don't need it.

SF was designed? It sure doesn't seem like it.

"Powered by the upcoming Linux 7.3 kernel series, Ubuntu 26.10 ships with the latest GNOME 51 desktop environment, TPM-backed full disk encryption (FDE) support on computers without a hardware root of trust, updated Settings to show whether a computer is certified for Ubuntu, and 100% Rust coreutils."

That's an impressive list of anti-features. I'll be sure to avoid it right away.

I'll make an extra donation in your honor, Ivan

I use a Windows machine with 16GB and even when Windows claims much of it is free, it still chokes with a bunch of disk activity when I use little used functions even of applications I'm actively using. I conclude that Windows is paging even when it doesn't have to, and then having to reload those pages later. This is sloppy bullshit because they could copy those pages to disk and not actually reallocate until it's necessary.

Live your life in such a way that you get kicked off Facebook.

This has gotten MUCH easier of late. Lots of big reports even of big influencers getting booted, which is weird because those people produce a lot of traffic.

Great idea. They solicit donations on bsky, I will buy a raffle ticket next time

What about why have the Epstein files not been released as required by law?

Stop defending child rapists, shitbird.

AI typically produces excessively complex code to perform tasks. Is that what you want in banking?

Nope. EAC is already on Linux. You don't seem to need Linux gaming news since you don't seem to follow it now.

Those are all things supporting the GP's statement.

Who let all these Nazis in here?

Oh yeah, B!zX.

More accurately, zero businesses care about people who work for them, because businesses are legal fictions, which only exist in the legal system. They don't have brains, hearts, or emotions. People who work for them might care, but as the business increases in size, that becomes decreasingly relevant, and once it becomes publicly traded the shareholders can act to remove officers who don't follow the charter. And while corporations aren't legally obligated to maximize profits by default, the charter pretty much always says something about that, as that's why people invest.

A sole proprietor might care about you, and that might even be relevant...
