I remember not long ago showing my linux desktop on reddit and everybody was going crazy because I was still using Firefox and Chrome is the browser to use nowdays and all that crap, I guess times have changed for the better, and yes I still use firefox
I started to use firefox back in 2007.
I have never changed back. If someday there's a better alternative I'd switch. But sure thing that chromium based browsers are not an alternative.
I have 32gb of ram.
I literally only upgraded so I could install more mods in minecraft and cities skylines 1.
Damn straight. I always wanted to do that, man. And I think if I had 32G of RAM I could hook that up, cause apps dig a dude with memory.
Well, not all apps.
Well the kind of apps that'd let me watch two chicks at the same time do.
Good point.
Chrome is such a pile of of shit.
took me a few days but I fully switched to firefox. my computer finally runs the way it should.
I was really hesitant to switch to Firefox. It took a long time for me to finally leave the Mozilla suite and accept that Firefox was the one going forward.
It gets even better when you add:
And
Tab Stash lets me stash a big ridiculous research or shopping session I'd want to return to, under a nice collection label for later.
And Auto Tab Discard will essentially unload open tabs you haven't touched in a while, so they'll load from scratch when you "wake them up", but they're not hogging all your RAM. It's fantastic.
Ditch Google trash. Go for alternatives. E.g., Firefox instead of Chrome.
May as well chop the "s" off "alternatives"
Firefox isn't going to solve the issue of overly bloated websites.
It still has ManifestV2 and useful ad-blocking

That seems like a fake website. Here is the real link: https://github.com/gorhill/uBlock
This website is maintained by Uros Gazvoda, founder of Futuristica, to help spread uBlock Origin - free, open-source ad blocker.
Not fake, just unaffiliated. The presented links and info seem correct to me.
ubo is also warning about a different fake page on their repo but not this one.
That's not a fake website 🤦♂️
I “cheaped out” with 32 and regretted it, working with huge files in RAM.
I've recently really gotten into 3d printing, and I've bought the bullet and purchased a pretty nice 3D scanner (Crealty Raptor Pro).
There's no such thing as ~~too much~~ enough RAM for these scans.
getting into 3d art is a regret lowkey, I was fine with my specs before they felt op even
I was into vr too, I was like damn this laptops a beast now im constantly struggling
128 here and I capped it the other day doing an in-memory parsing, lol
I have 32GB and for most of what I do, which is normal desktop stuff and gaming, and occasionally messing with VMs, it's fine if not overkill.
I once had a machine with 4mb of ram. Was fine for Word 5.5 and Windows 3.1. Needed a boot disk to run Doom. Upgraded to 8mb and it was fine, if not overkill.
Son, have you tried just pulling your computer up by its boot straps and telling it that it only needs 8mb of ram because that was fine 35 years ago? /s
I'd be wondering where the hell my other 64GB went!
compile my own custom android
My mid-range gaming PC from 2019 had 16gb, and I was looking at some new pre-builts and saw many still only have 16. Is there just not much need for more, or what? It's cheap - I might double what I've got in DDR4 for $50.
If you're doing a new PC then I'd aim for 32GB.
16GB is enough, yes, but for how much longer? It's been the norm for awhile now, which means that soon it won't be enough.
Linux and FreeBSD systems? Happy and snappy.
Work Windows system filled with crap corp security software? Open electron apps and wait for them to load.
Personal Windows system? Master of Orion, the remake.
I do wonder how many people only hate windows because their IT installed crapware that takes half the CPU scanning every file move.
I watched a fascinating rust video where this guy was talking about all of the things different OSs do differently just in the rust up install process. And how one of them (I assume windows but don't recall) was way worse but it was fixed by changing how they did IO. I don't work at that lower level so it's not a thing for me, but it was interesting. (I tried to find but failed)
Play some horribly unoptimized games, like the Oblivion Remaster that recommends having 32gb. Which is fucking insane.
Such a big fan of Google ???😳😳😳😳😳
I have only 16 gb of RAM but I can open 20 tabs on Firefox!
Why is that in my personal laptop chrome works like shit and in my work laptop it works wonders?! The only difference between them is that in y professional laptop we have thousands of different security apps. It's almost like chrome is shit because it invades u your computer like a virus lol
