Some of those countrymen are conscripts. 2/3rds? Which makes continuation of battle far less justifiable IMO.

Some people will choose to fight in Ukraine, to possibly die in Ukraine. Conscripts face punishment for refusal.

How many of those fighting would refuse the peace deal?

High memory usage isn't a problem by itself.

The issue is when it's used inefficiently or for useless purposes. An unoptimized application takes 500MB of extra memory and that is 500MB that cannot be used for read/write caching nor another application, and 500MB closer to an OOM situation.

In theory, an application can suffer from issues of underutilization of memory, just as one that over-utilizes memory. In practice, I find that lower-than-expected memory use is a much more positive indicator of an optimization-focused project than one that uses more memory than expected.

In the meantime, it's not sitting there, unused and useless.

If your system uses caching, then "usused" memory may not be so. Memory used for caching is also cleanly "Available" for use if needed. This is not the case with the 500MB of extra memory a process might decide to capture. Of course this is complicated further with swap (I wouldn't use it).

...that proved that the algorithms/protocols work.

You can use a perfect algorithm and still be insecure because the implementation was bad. You are trusting the SimpleX Chat devs to a degree.

I wouldn't trust encryption made by anti-vaxer more than...

Important to note: SimpleX Chat has gone through two security audits.

The SimpleX Chat is AGPL. If the founder is problematic, one can fork it and avoid reinventing what has already been made.

It is forkable if necessary. I do think SimpleX is a great piece of software that shouldn't be reinvented because of the founder.

I have probably already left (consciously or not) enough info on the internet, for data scrapers/AI tools/whatever to probably know me better than myself, and that's probably true for any person that have ever used internet.

Knowing you? Possibly. The second half of your claim is unsubstantiated.

Websites might know specific aspects of how you use the internet, for example, what times you use that site. This is just information you yourself haven't cared enough to log and examine. It isn't extraordinary.

To extrapolate that to "Better than I know myself" is paranoia.

Or communicate that you aren't listening. I would want to know, as the speaker, that my words are going in one ear and out the other.
