Unused RAM is wasted RAM ❤️
Shit, I never thought about it that way, but you may be onto something here. Not only tabs were heavy, they weren’t isolated into processes in most early implementations (IIRC that was the big Chrome selling point early on) and could crash your whole browser, so it made me extremely nervous opening too many tabs as I could lose it all with one error.

folkrav@lemmy.cato No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•Why aren't there mass protests in the USA?6·3 months agoVance’s liking of Yarvin Curtis’ NRx philosophy, which openly dreams of neomonarchist technocracy[0], Peter Thiel’s funding and support of both Curtis/Nrx and this administration[1][2], this administration’s ties to Project 2025[3], including the lovely Russell Vought[4], hat’s planned in it for the first 6 months of Trump’s term in terms of getting rid of democratic safeguards, dismantling government institutions and concentrating power into the executive[5], is already well under way to execute[6]… Combine all this with the things he’s been doing publically, like aligning with Putin, and threatening Canada’s and Mexico’s annexation over a couple of pounds of fentanyl and the trade agreements he signed himself 9 years ago, the constant barrage of executive orders, many found inconstitutional, but in such a volume that it’s completely overwhelming appeal courts, and Trump directly threatening judges not to cross him… I don’t know how you manage to call any of this “fear mongering”, when it’s all just things they themselves said and did. The only variable I can see here is how you interpret all of this, and I don’t understand how one can both support democracy and think what they’re doing is not completely messing with its very safeguards.

folkrav@lemmy.cato No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•How do the Republicans feel about Project 2025 now?6·3 months agoWait till they officially start calling for a constitutional amendments and they suddenly start losing some of their own rights. But by then who knows what it’s gonna look like.
folkrav@lemmy.cato Open Source@lemmy.ml•I don't know why but it pissed me off so much that they called gimp "freeware"10·4 months agoInteresting. I interpreted this definition more like an oval vs. circle distinction. The vast majority of ovals aren’t circles, but circles are a subset of ovals.
folkrav@lemmy.cato No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•dear republicans, what's the point of alienating every single ally of the US?2·4 months agoI’d love to believe this, but cynical me is thinking about those conservatives that look at Milei in Argentina and legitimately think it’s going great.

folkrav@lemmy.cato ADHD@lemmy.world•Weird how counterintuitive some stimulant effects are when you have ADHDEnglish3·5 months agoInteresting… what happens exactly, if I may ask? Im on 60mg, personally the only side-effect I get is a more or less severe energy crash around dinner time (I feel like I have to go to bed right now for a good 30-60min), but it doesn’t mess with my sleep unless I take it too late in the day. 1PM seems to be the cutoff for fucking up my night.
folkrav@lemmy.cato ADHD@lemmy.world•Weird how counterintuitive some stimulant effects are when you have ADHDEnglish2·5 months agoI know some ADHD folks have sleep issues, but fortunately, I personally fall asleep very easily and am very difficult to wake up - especially since I got a CPAP to treat the severe sleep apnea. The problem is, I often go to bed way too late, either from having to work after the kids are in bed from procrastinating some task for too long, or literally forgetting what time it is and realizing what time it is 5h before I have to wake up.

folkrav@lemmy.cato No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•What are some actual good *sour* sour candy?6·5 months agoMaybe my taste buds are just broken, but for me, candy has always been either very sour for a very short time, or slightly sour all the way through. I’ve never had anything be very sour all the way through.

folkrav@lemmy.cato Open Source@lemmy.ml•Which FOSS projects have enough funding that we should donate elsewhere?6·6 months ago58% goes to fundraising, administrative and technological costs. The rest has some money going towards, but no limited to, other programs.
Only thing I can find in their financials that would maybe qualify as “random outreach” would be “awards and grants”, at 26mil last year out of 185mil revenue, or 14%.

As far as I can tell, it’s not particularly random.
Maybe I’m missing something?
Eh, I’m about the same age as OP, I don’t have to get to 50 to know that I’d take my parents’ economic context over the two crashes. The rest… For many reasons, if medicine does some miraculous leap forward by then, maybe I’ll still wish I got a lot more left to go by then.
folkrav@lemmy.cato ADHD@lemmy.world•If I had a nickel for every time someone says "this person's being a huge jerk to me but I think they might be neurodivergent"English91·6 months agoOn the other hand, it’s not always something we actively do. If I lose focus on something I was doing with someone or on a conversation, I didn’t do it on purpose, and I literally couldn’t help it. I have definitely been called an asshole for it before, but calling me out on it doesn’t do anything but make me feel like shit cause it happened again, and as I know it always will, I now know you’ll always think I’m being one
folkrav@lemmy.cato ADHD@lemmy.world•If I had a nickel for every time someone says "this person's being a huge jerk to me but I think they might be neurodivergent"English262·6 months agoYes, but it’s IMHO not as clear cut. Some of the things we do because of our executive function disorder can be interpreted as us being assholes by those we interact with. One can act like an asshole at times and not intrinsically be one. Some things are perceived as assholeish by some people but not others.
Audition, Photoshop and Cubase you’ll probably have the hardest time to truly replace. Even more if you rely on third party plugins for either of those.
