windows reminds me of the upper and lower facilities in Portal 2. once I somehow managed to trigger a warning window about the memory usage of 16 bit applications on windows 10, even though I think support was removed for them long ago

Also, don’t keep it running if not needed.

can you enforce that with flatpak? I often see the notification that “X program is still running in the background” or something similar, but the flatpak permission settings did not seem to have such a setting

Of course, that’s why I said…

the function is called Virtual Memory in Windows

then I misunderstood you. I thought you meant swap = virtual memory

Privacy preserved, basically.

only if the browser cannot run in the background, and it cannot access any of your fikes, the DBus of your regular user’s session, and other facilities

Also, you’ll look odd holding your phone up to the screen.

just connect another display, set it to mirroring, and point a camera at that. or just use a video capture card.

except on firefox of course, because fuck you for even trying to protect a little bit of your privacy

you know, sometimes I wonder if Matrix could be used in a business setting, and worry about its rough edges and buggy features of Element. but you know what! it would probably be fine! not worse than teams, and at least they don’t want to fuck you over!

regarding the quote, will they just not let linux users connect to the call when that restriction is turned on?

edit: nvm, the article talks about that too

that site is weird, appends its domain in a “ref” parameter to any urls on it… wikipedia, youtube, amazon…

Actually I would want that announcement feature.

The swap file or pagefile is automatically set up in Windows 10/11. You have to do something manually to prevent it.

yes. but it still is different from virtual memory. that’s a broader thing.

By making the swap file larger, which may be an issue if the hard drive doesn’t have enough space left, and if not it will still increase the amount of time needed to recover data from the swap, because it’s larger.

then open the control panel and fix the swap setup. and then enjoy your more ram. the solution to this problem does not seem to be not upgrading to have more ram.

virtual memory is related, but that’s a broader system that also gets used when no swap file was set up.

I agree that adding more RAM won’t necessarily make the problem go away as windows might still swap the game out if it deems it more important to cache more files in RAM, but I don’t see why that would make it worse.

we need to get any smart glasses and similar banned from public spaces in europe that is capable of any kind of imaging

to me it’s easier to look through an issue page on forgejo than a chain of mails. search is also easier: inside an issue I can ctrl+f, and across issues of a project there’s a search tool. but how would you search across all issues of a specific project (repo)?

forgejo issues can also have tags, associated projects and milestones for organization. also pinned issues for better visibility for newbies and/or easier access to anyone.

mailing lists are like a discord or matrix chat to me: a mostly disorganized flow of messages. probably there are ways to organize it, but doesn’t it need the explicit cooperation (e. g. in using a uniform formatting for mail titles) of all participants, including newbies?

yeah rly. the fuck are you talking about with “fuck sun”

tools like that were going big in the pandemic for online exams. Basically rootkits that fully compromise your machine

and what to use instead? run qemu commands and all the preparation by hand?

there’s proxmox, but that’s not a desktop solution.

there’s no sun anymore. It’s oracle

me neither, but they all universally could have a silent mode.
truth be told, I have a very old microwave with buttons and dials, so mayhaps I didn’t get to experience the shit “modern” microwaves do

I really don’t get all the shit microwaves and printers get. smart devices especially samsung and xiaomi phones are the worst, from privacy, ownership and control, and maintainability points
