Ditch Google trash. Go for alternatives. E.g., Firefox instead of Chrome.

[-] SupremeDonut@lemmy.ml 26 points 1 week ago

May as well chop the "s" off "alternatives"

Firefox isn't going to solve the issue of overly bloated websites.

[-] N00b22@lemmy.ml 6 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

That seems like a fake website. Here is the real link: https://github.com/gorhill/uBlock

[-] Redjard@lemmy.dbzer0.com 6 points 1 week ago

This website is maintained by Uros Gazvoda, founder of Futuristica, to help spread uBlock Origin - free, open-source ad blocker.

Not fake, just unaffiliated. The presented links and info seem correct to me.
ubo is also warning about a different fake page on their repo but not this one.

Are you sure that Firefox is a good alternative, given all the things they've been doing lately? And why not fork, by the way?

Also, Google is funding Mozilla, so... yeah.

[-] SCmSTR@lemmy.blahaj.zone 5 points 1 week ago

Every other browser uses chrome and just puts their stuff on top. So you either use actual Google chrome, a rebrand (I know it's not exactly that nor that simple), or you use Firefox.

Because it's still better than Chrome? They still support ManifestV2 which is necessary for AdBlockers like uBlock to work properly

"Two Firefox tabs at the same time, man"

[-] de_lancre@lemmy.world 4 points 1 week ago

That why I have 128gb of ram — productivity. I even can open tab with youtube and oom won't kill my family.

My mid-range gaming PC from 2019 had 16gb, and I was looking at some new pre-builts and saw many still only have 16. Is there just not much need for more, or what? It's cheap - I might double what I've got in DDR4 for $50.

[-] Psythik@lemm.ee 20 points 1 week ago

If you're doing a new PC then I'd aim for 32GB.

16GB is enough, yes, but for how much longer? It's been the norm for awhile now, which means that soon it won't be enough.

I have 32gb and I always suggest others to get that much as a baseline theses days. I rarely ever use anywhere close to the full 32gb, but I am often times at or near 16gb in use. The main benefit of having 32gb is in my case I'll basically never be hitting the pagefile, but if you only had 16gb you'll probably rarely max out on ram usage, but you'll probably be hitting the pagefile more often.

With the proliferation of fast SSDs and NVME drives hitting the pagefile is considerably less impactful than it use to be with spinning disks, but it's still slower than RAM.

I “cheaped out” with 32 and regretted it, working with huge files in RAM.

[-] 3dmvr@lemm.ee 7 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

getting into 3d art is a regret lowkey, I was fine with my specs before they felt op even

I was into vr too, I was like damn this laptops a beast now im constantly struggling

Linux and FreeBSD systems? Happy and snappy.

Work Windows system filled with crap corp security software? Open electron apps and wait for them to load.

Personal Windows system? Master of Orion, the remake.

Upgrade to 64GB cause 32 is not enough for my adhd

[-] oxysis@lemmy.blahaj.zone 6 points 1 week ago

Then upgrade from 64gb to 128gb because it’s still not enough for my adhd

[-] SynonymousStoat@lemmy.world 5 points 1 week ago

I've actually been considering using 128gb recently. I'm only considering this as I'm thinking about turning a server of mine into my primary desktop and it has 128gb in it already because I was using a RAM disk to generate large files in memory. I'm now done with that project and it feels silly having this powerful PC sitting here doing nothing.

[-] offendicula@fedia.io 5 points 1 week ago

A single vote cannot convey my interest in this idea.

[-] Kolanaki@pawb.social 12 points 1 week ago

Play some horribly unoptimized games, like the Oblivion Remaster that recommends having 32gb. Which is fucking insane.

Oblivion needs about stable 10GB with max settings on my System.

[-] Kolanaki@pawb.social 4 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

I wonder if they recommend 32 because 16gb is the minimum for maxed settings vanilla but they know everyone will have 2000 mods installed eventually and they are accounting for that. 🤔

Yeah, they defo need to work on optimization. It's an unreasonably heavy game both on cpu and gpu, runs worse than cyberpunk rt overdrive while looking worse...

[-] Lucidlethargy@sh.itjust.works 12 points 1 week ago

Chrome is such a pile of of shit.

[-] suicidaleggroll@lemm.ee 10 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

I'd be in trouble, since between ZFS and my various VMs, my system idles at ~170 GB RAM used. With only 32 I'd have to shut basically everything down.

My previous system had 64 GB, and while it wasn't great, I got by. Then one of the motherboard slots died and dropped me to 48 GB, which seriously hurt. That's when I decided to rebuild and went to 256.

Oh yay, lemmy is finally popular enough to have a nobody asked e-peen guy!

Well, I don't think I need that much RAM, but it's a funny joke, modern browsers consume an insane amount of RAM.

I have 32GB and for most of what I do, which is normal desktop stuff and gaming, and occasionally messing with VMs, it's fine if not overkill.

I'm gonna download more RAM right meow! https://downloadmoreram.com/

[-] nichtburningturtle@feddit.org 5 points 1 week ago

Not even use 8GB of it.

Is it Chrome or is it the web page

[-] baggachipz@sh.itjust.works 6 points 1 week ago

Maybe it’s Maybelline

[-] Zorsith@lemmy.blahaj.zone 4 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

I went with 64GB on my most recent build... partially because it will eventually be retired to be a server, partially because last time i did a new build with brand new RAM, RAM prices skyrocketed (tsunami hit Taiwan IIRC, but still) immediately afterwards
