In my experience with 2GB memory on an acer cloudbook, it seems that 2GB memory isn't even enough to check your gmail now.
I'm running Linux with a very cut down light desktop (LXDE) and unnecessary services disabled, and zramswap enabled. Chrome + one tab of gmail and no other tabs open at all exhausts the physical RAM and starts using lots of swap. It also takes like over a minute before the inbox opens and becomes responsive.
Maybe it works better on chrome OS, I don't know, but I can't imagine it's that much better. I'm surprised you're getting any reasonable use out of anything with less than 4GB memory now.

Hopes For Sustainable Jet Fuel Not Realistic, Report Finds (theguardian.com) 176
Hopes that replacement fuels for airplanes will slash carbon pollution are misguided and support for these alternatives could even worsen the climate crisis, a new report has warned. The Guardian: There is currently "no realistic or scalable alternative" to standard kerosene-based jet fuels, and touted "sustainable aviation fuels" are well off track to replace them in a timeframe needed to avert dangerous climate change, despite public subsidies, the report by the Institute for Policy Studies, a progressive thinktank, found. "While there are kernels of possibility, we should bring a high level of skepticism to the claims that alternative fuels will be a timely substitute for kerosene-based jet fuels," the report said.
Chuck Collins, co-author of the report, said: "To bring these fuels to the scale needed would require massive subsidies, the trade-offs would be unacceptable and would take resources aware from more urgent decarbonization priorities. It's a huge greenwashing exercise by the aviation industry. It's magical thinking that they will be able to do this." In the US, Joe Biden's administration has set a goal for 3bn gallons of sustainable aviation fuel, which is made from non-petroleum sources such as food waste, woody biomass and other feedstocks, to be produced by 2030, which it said will cut aviation's planet-heating emissions by 20%.

Trans women had what you always yearned for, but some of them chose to give it up. And some others kept it because genitals != gender. Your jealousy and resentment are burning hot, I can sense it. The reality is, your PENIS will always be small, and the thought that even women have bigger penises than you keeps you up at night.
You will never have a big PENIS, and that's why you hate trans people, trans women especially.

Maybe by the time this date comes around, if the trees aren't already destroyed by fire or by war, people will see the value in the trees and not kill them to make paper for books that would be much more easily and conveniently read digitally
