"Unused ram is wasted ram", therefore it's okay that every single application is a full chromium web browser using a gigabyte or more, even stupid shit tools like a disk imager for writing raspberry pi sd cards.

That's why it's okay that a gmail tab uses over a gigabyte of memory. Also unused time is wasted time, that's why it's important that Gmail takes several seconds to display the page every time you log in.

After you open Gmail, you're supposed to leave the tab open and never close it, so it can make sure you're using that gig and a half of memory, lest it be wasted.

Unused battery is wasted battery, so we need to avoid wasting it by running lots of power consuming scripts on every single webpage including Google search result pages, lest the battery be unused and therefore wasted.

A single 4chan tab uses ~135 MB of RAM. Wrap it up, this place is bloat.

That's sickening. They're leaving so much ram wasted. It needs to use much more in order to deliver a world class experience

"Unused" ram is use for disk cache

>>107271134
used ram is also wasted ram in most cases. therefore ram quantities analysis as the primary focus yields little benefit. maybe try the mint flavor thermal paste

unused ram is to run my other programs, not for your shitware that consumes 10x what it should

its a logical fallacy that we should be doing more to help those who can do less

they can do less. theyre inferior. by definition.
theyre the ones who should be doing extra efforts to get to our level

The world is not catering to people who can't afford something made after 2015 anymore. Many posters think devs should write stuff that runs on a PS1, it's pathetic. It's also impossible, a simplistic polygonal game like Crash Bandicoot had to contort the fuck out of the PS1 to run.

99.9% of people can afford a computer, who is going to care about the 0.1%?

Shops are full of laptops that only have 4GB RAM, probably a third of all the laptops I've seen being sold have that much memory. After that 8GB is the next most common. Those configurations together probably represent close to half of all laptops being sold today. Developers already consider 8GB 'obsolete'.

'Devs' are all incompetent fuckers testing their garbage on their 32 core 64 thread desktop system with 64GB memory, or their top of the line $3000 macbookpro, and thinking like "it only takes takes 4 seconds to load, and only uses 5% of the system memory, that's not bad at all", and forcing us all to put up with it.

A lot of these people and companies are the same ones who virtue signal about carbon emissions and global warming and caring for the planet, while their poor quality work renders a shitload of equipment e-waste destined for landfills.

I've actually seen this cope in the wild, with a fucking terminal no less. Just open at startup and never close it :))))

Actually I use proxy services for everything :^)
I WILL use IMAP and RSS with a mail reader
I WILL go out of my way to find native and lightweight apps that access the API
And I WILL data hoard so I don't have to stream everything

I'm not poor, I simply wont settle for enshittification.

Use-case for RAM power?

>>107272937
so much this

most of these super cheap "e-waste" could be perfectly fine for everyday usage if software would be written and optimized properly, but devs don't give a fuck

it's shocking how the same tasks on Windows 7 with older versions of software works much faster than on modern Windows and software versions (GIMP, Photoshop, video editing software and so on)

optimizations almost don't exist now

I can run Windows 11 and Chrome in a VM with 2GB of RAM and have 4chan and YouTube open, with Chrome only chugging a few hundred MB and from the 2GB there's still like 150MB free, it's even usable, there's no easily noticeable slowdowns.
You faggots only cry about this shit because you have 16 or 32 GB of RAM and fail to understand that modern memory managers are way smarter and made by people probably a lot smarter than 99% of the who think they know how to program here.

So yeah, unused RAM *IS* wasted RAM.

Why would you use Windows XP unless it's in a VM or something? Do you enjoy fiddling with drivers and getting hacked?

that's not what this means you retard. it means if you have unused ram, then its better used for filesystem cache.
