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

JXL for the win! when will we get support for it in firefox though…
- Comment on Games on my PC start stuttering pretty badly when they aren't the active window for a while. Have to close the game and restart to resolve the stuttering issue. What exactly is causing this? 2 days ago:
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.

what are these new Docker@someinstance accounts? I just blacklisted one yesterday because it was writing like a US republican themed account. it was just a single day old account and now here is this

and should 2 consenting adults adapt how they have sex so that others don’t feel like their “boundaries” have been disrespected?
well if they have made that person then the answer is definitely yes. It’s not like a quest who was accepted on a favor or something

I am still going to continue having (probably still loud) sex in the house. Unless my kids fully paying a roommate’s share of the costs to run the home, they’re still kids, not roommates.
with your mentality, who cares about roommates even. they should join or find a quiet place right?

It’s not babysitting when it’s family.
oh it is, don’t worry. I didn’t choose caring for a baby or small children as time goes, and for a fact I never wanted one. it was them who decided to maje another one, so they really should be putting in the work to care for them on the regular.
Fortunately I don’t have a sibling, I much prefer it that way.
- Comment on Is there still an effort to move technical help threads from Redshit to here? 3 weeks ago:
that’s true, but op wanted to move threads, not communities, for the purpose of better search. for that it’s fine
- Comment on Is there still an effort to move technical help threads from Redshit to here? 4 weeks ago:
you can. by having a lemmy instance that hosts synchronized content from select subs

other than redlib as the other commenter said, you could also just write a userscript for violentmonkey. easier to maintain
- Comment on Is there still an effort to move technical help threads from Redshit to here? 4 weeks ago:
especially with their anti-vpn bullshit they’re on now.
I’ve been a happy libreddit/redlib user for a few years now. sometimes an instance has a temporary block but then I click redirect in libredirect and the next instance works
- Comment on How are the blatant anti-competitive practices of Apple just…allowed? How is this even possible? 4 weeks ago:
entirely free markets result in facebook, google, amazon, but worse, where they have absolutely no restrictions. a. iddle ground is needed, that we don’t have currently

jokes on you, they still wont respond them, or even mark which one they responded to. you have to send 3 different messages even if emails
- Comment on 6* months away now. If you're on 10, do you plan to upgrade? Make the jump to Linux? 5 weeks ago:
I’m not talking about credit card information. I’m talking about all the kinds of commercial data mining that is happening basically all over the internet. Personally, I’m sick of it. and while firefox has problems, anything chromium based won’t even try to project your privacy, to the contrary, especially edge. if you like having all your digital and a lot of irl activities collected in data broker databases for profiling, targeted ads, personalized costs and whatnot, then edge is the ideal browser for you.

“super secret server” what, we are talking in discord servers now?
privacy is not for “super secret” people. it is for everyone who does not mindlessly throw it away.

I had windows for 20 years. enough is enough. I’ll never accept all the bullshit of 11. but if you use edge, I see you have different values, like privacy is not really important to you

don’t forget that LTSC is also a solution

you mean, everyone who already knows it’s a scam or can recognize that it probably is. which is not everyone. otherwise the whole thing wouldn’t exist.

I don’t mean they do this consistently, but that they do this by chance. sometimes people end up spending money on bad brands

google does for sure. a few years ago they demanded all developers to hand in their keys in the pretense of efficiency

steam and valve has also been generally more respectful with users than mostly any other online business, not even just in the space of online software stores. of course it’s not all rainbows and glitter but the point stands.

Valve kills physical ownership of games: I sleep
kills? most of them work with a steam emu, even offline. that’s not even cracking. most of those that don’t have a different limitation.
with a steam emu you can do whatever you want with the game files, often you can put it on your pendrive and play it as a portable game (the right goldberg emu settings allow game data to be stored near the game files instead of appdata)
