In my entirely anecdotal experience, MacOS is significantly better at RAM management than Windows. But it’s still a $1,600 USD computer, and 16GB of RAM costs nearly nothing, it’s just classic Apple greed.

I think Jacob Geller is the best video essayist out there, he posts a nebula exclusive for all of his videos too.
When I was still watching I remember he said if LMG ever tried to unionize he would take it as a personal failure. The intention of that statement may mean well, but it’s a really not great view to have and profess. Unions can (and should) maintain a good relationship between the workers and management.
Yes? That’s how art has always worked.
Higher energy density is going to be needed for sure, but as a brutalism evangelist, I’m gonna take this chance to say we could just make the whole building out of concrete so it’s all one big battery.
Right but the instance I’m on could get taken over by an asshole, and get defederated by, or defederates from, my favourite subs. Then I’ve got to abandon that account and start a whole new one, same as I did leaving Reddit. I’m really not sold on this model until I can transfer my account somehow.
So I’ve got a couple feelings on this.
This is a fools errand. It’s like antivirus companies, no matter how well you make your product, the hackers are always going to be one step ahead. If they manage to obscure ads so well they can’t be detected the way we do them now, ad blockers will find a new way to go about it. Especially when the way Google wants to do it involves pushing shitty web DRM that other browsers have actively said they won’t play ball with.
These tech megacorps seem to think they’re invincible. Like people have always used their services, and will always use them. That just isn’t true. Youtube, for example, is impossible for me to use without adblock these days. It’s just a horrendous experience without it. And when your product is awful to use, that opens the door for someone to come in with something that isn’t awful. Yes video hosting is difficult and costly, but it’s not nearly as bad as it once was. I really feel like they’re digging their own grave here. At least I hope they are.
Or Linux users
Given their name is “OpenAI” and they were founded on the idea of being transparent with those exact things, I’m less impressed that that’s what they’re upset about. The keep saying they’re “protecting” us by not releasing us, which just isn’t true. They’re protecting their profits and valuation.
The main metric has been with Adobe apps. 2017 Macs with 8GB of RAM are still able to run Premiere and a few others things smoothly simultaneously. Windows machines with the same config were crashing constantly and kept going.
But I’m still not defending Apple here. It’s been 6 years, and their base level MacBook still ships with the same amount of RAM.
