Yeah no. I'm at 32 and task manager says that 28+GiB are being used on idle. The sum of everything that appears on task manager doesn't reach 2GiB.

And it's not "the OS is using it because you aren't", because if I do anything demanding, the OS won't give me back that RAM, it'll use the swap instead.

There are many C++ features that make the language worse. Exceptions is one of them. It's not strange to have them banned.

Critical systems often only allow you to use a subset of the language. Dynamic (heap) allocations, recursive functions, exceptions are features that are often banned. In medical devices, safety is critical, so it makes sense. Otherwise you could get a Therac-like scenario due to an unhandled exception.

Why is a pair of scissors separated in halves? Shouldn't a pair of scissors be separated into 2 unit scissor?

EDIT: so you would have 2 half pair of scissors? A pair of half pair of scissors?

Chromium based ones are at the mercy of Google. Firefox, however, is independent in that sense.

When google decides to drop support for manifest V2 (which is the one unlock origin uses), every chromium browser drops support for it. Unless they make a fork of chromium and add manifest V2 back in. Which means extra effort every time they want to update with upstream, since there probably will be merge conflicts.

Firefox can just not drop support for it, literally 0 effort.

Of course the random dude I replied to on Lemmy owns a set of semaphore flags. What else would I expect?

It's a simple concept.

You need at least 2 people to form a conversation.

One of them has Whatsapp, Telegram, signal, MSTeams, smoke signals and those flags that ships used to communicate.

The other only has Whatsapp.

They are going to communicate over Whatsapp.

Even if the dude with 1000 communication methods meets another dude with 1000 communication methods, they are going to use WhatsApp, because they are used to using Whatsapp with everyone, so it's just easier to have everyone on WhatsApp.

Thank God AI is so powerful that we would live in a post-scarcity world! AI is so productive that labor is basically free. Thus making products basically free.

Who said that white people can't cook?

French and italian food is generally regarded as good.

The stereotype is usually that the British can't cook.

We are not going by our experience. I explicitly used the numbers that appear in the link you provided.
