TabbsTheBat (they/them)

I use the pop!_os customized version of GNOME currently. I used hyprland for a while until I lost my dots for it due to some PC issues, and I didn’t bother setting it back up. I do plan to switch to COSMIC which I quite enjoy, but it’s also still missing a lot of stuff I need, so im waiting for that to be fully rolled out

Lithuanian :3

The nice thing about my native language is that it’s pretty phonetically consistent with its spelling, so whenever I needed to remember the spelling of a word in english I could just remember how it would sound when said in my native language :3

We didn’t start IT until 5th grade, which would’ve been in 2012-2013 :3

They didn’t teach typing when I was in school. I guess it’s an assumed skill? Anywho, I still knew what those notches/bumps were for :3

I would not say that reflects my experience. The vast majority of the people I interact with outside of the internet don’t play video games, and if they do it’s crossword games or candy crush on their phone, so I would not generally consider video games as an average person thing, or at least it doesn’t seem to be where I live outside the younger generations

Either way, OP said they don’t want RAM hog applications, for which they mentioned video editors taking 8+GB, and I’d say on average games probably take 4-8GB (and I don’t particularly play the modern AAA stuff), so I’d consider them a valid target to exclude on those grounds even if we do define them as something for average people

I was talking more in terms of “normie” programs than games tbh, they’d obviously use way more lol

And yeah, electron wrappers would also be up there, for me spotify is at around 200-300MiB, I don’t have slack or vscode so can’t check those. In terms of having generic programs rather than specific named ones as OP mentioned electron apps may be harder to specify or label in a way that’s recognizable to most people

There’s not that many programs most people use that consume a substantial amount of RAM, generally browsers are by far the heaviest ones.

I have a system monitor open rn and looking at some basic apps a calculator app uses around 30MiB, office programs would be around 150MiB unless you’re opening massive files, an email client would be around 100MiB, a PDF viewer is around 60MiB, a file manager is 40MiB, a video player is a 100MiB etc.

You need to capitalize your I’s to start. Also I think your punctuation could be better, it’s for the most part commas and periods, which looks quite flat for creative writing. I’d say try out using more dashes, semicolons, and other punctuation marks to “spice it up”

Oh they’re planning to replace the standard link view with AI overview in general :3 source

There’re quite a few alternative search engines; I personally use duckduckgo, but startpage is also good, I hear, I’ve been trying it out in cases where ddg doesn’t get my desired results :3. There’s also searXNG which is more technical, but quite good in terms of fetching results from a bunch of stuff, and a lot of people I know swear by kagi, but that one is a paid service. Those are the main “big” ones I see around. Of course they’re by far not the only ones

I’ve seen people who look like Radži a few times :3 not many people here who are gonna know that celeb tho

Meow :3

Depends on what spells I have prepared

Hey I watched a video on this years ago :3

I think it basically boiled down to they all have lightning powers, because the first black hero did, and then everyone copied it (and also good contrast or something)

Somehow this does not surprise me. Seems in line with everything else in the US

Yeah that :3

From what I’ve heard 9-5 was a thing before employees were given a mandatory 1 hour lunch break which was counted as non-work time. So basically the work schedule was shifted to account for break time no longer being counted as part of the work day.

Of course I’ve never looked into it, so there’s a good chance it’s not that :p

Oh I don’t really do AAA gaming as is, there haven’t particularly been any games that have drawn me from the AAA in many years :3

I have a 3070, that’s a 6 year old card, the way things are going it’s gonna be the only card I have for a long while

I was also thinking greenish blue. Though im leaning towards dark turquoise
