But why would I want a bunch of ads and SEO shit that doesn’t answer my question?

Oh, I can do project management too!

Your next task is waves hands around … the thing … waves hands around some more … like the other thing … but different.

“Which server do I join?” seems to be a sticking point for a lot of people.

The “Browse servers” page does say at the top “You can access all content in the lemmyverse from any server, so it doesn’t matter which one you choose”, but on showing this page you immediately scroll that message off the screen. Maybe if you kept that bit visible it would help.

Also I think comparing it with email servers might be helpful. People already know they can email anyone from any email server, and that signing up to, say, Posteo, doesn’t mean you can only email other Posteo users.

For the next four years I also propose renaming en_us to an-us.

Have you tried Ctrl-Tabbing through all open tabs, to load them all in? It’s be interesting to see how much memory it uses then.

5G for HermitCraft S9, 10G for Enigmatica 6 Expert (looking at Working Set in Resource Monitor). I’ve rebuilt impulseSV’s iBuy as an autocrafting tower in my E6E world, and I needed more detail than I could glean from the videos.

Firefox is a bit more tricky to work out because it’s split over multiple processes but if I kill it while watching Resource Monitor the Available Memory jumps by about 9G, with 56 tabs open.

Have you ever had Windows break so badly that you had to burn an install disk…

As a programmer, yes under Windows 3.0 I could crash the computer so hard that the only way to recover was to reformat the hard disk. It got progressively better in later versions and everything from Windows 2000 has been virtually uncrashable.

My most recent hard crash was when I had a VM, two Minecraft instances and Firefox all open at the same time and Windows ran out of memory (so I upgraded from 32GB to 64GB). It does make me wonder why some of that didn’t get swapped out though.

Well that’s OK. It’s not uncommon for different countries to name bits of land and water differently from everyone else. Take Germany for example. The locals call it Deutschland. The French call it Allemagne. Or there are the Falklands, known by the argybargies as Las Malvinas. If Donny McFart in North Mexico wants to call that bit of water the Freedom Gulf or whatever then good for him! As long as he realises it works both ways.
