When I think of how much memory computers have, and how much programs use I'm impressed by how things have progressed, and saddened at the same tim by how wasteful we are. The dismay of bloat ends up being the dominant feeling.
yeah there's some programs that i'm running that use wAAAAAY too much memory especially my browsers. i have opera and chrome open and they're using 1.5g of memory.
for most people 16gb is currently fine, and up until a few years ago that wa 8gb.. gaming, browsing, whatever really. time marches on..Oh,I don't run that stuff. Maybe a VM every now and then, but ONLY to buil software for a diferent architecture, or perhaps occasionally test something. It's quite rare.
but if you start to use your machine like a workstation all bets are off :) running multiple VMs, running AI locally, probably video editing, and also video game streaming is eking it's way into this category.
using Stable Diffusion here i'll sometimes see 27GB or so conventional ram, it chews up 16GB of VRAM like it's nothing.

You remember that episode of The Simpsons where Homer meets his long lost half-brother Herb, who owns a car company? Herb gets Homer to design a car and Homer ends up designing a monstrosity that sends Herb bust. The web is that car.
Most of the time I'm running Mutt, or some CLI program, Brave would be the most 'heavy' program I run, occasionally Spotify which is bloated. So for me 8G is enough.
Well, browsers are at another level. The web is now a dismail failure, utterly broken. Browsers are horrendous because web-devs have made the web horrendous.

good thing about brave is it blocks youtube ads. now it's difficult on reguI have found Clipious (through Invidious instances) to be quite ok. It is sanerthan using a browser when it works. I think Google is removing them from searchresults :-)

it's actually incredibly simple. firefox+ublock origin
over this whole ordeal i've seen their anti-ad-blocker message like 3 times. then i go into ublock's settings and update the filters and it's gone. about 10 seconds of effort total over the whole "ordeal"

Welcome back to the past.
I too am from Canada, in the Vancouver area!
I'm intrigued by Gemini and Gopher protocols, but I like plain old HTML. I'dYou can serve HTML pages over Gopher. You could build a gophersite on HTML only. People just prefers not to do it because gophr has better ways of arranging content-
The web is used by millions of people around the world every day (via a web browser or apps making REST calls & such via web erquests), so I'm not sure say it's such a failure.

I'm intrigued by Gemini and Gopher protocols, but I like plain old HTML. I'd like to see a simple browser that works with basic HTML get some traction, myself. I think back to the blogs I hand-hacked back before blogger.
Kmeleon loads my tilde blog (https://tilde.club/~poindexter) in around 100 megabytes of RAM just fine, and to me, HTML is easier to hand-code than Gemi or Gopher.
...Have you ever asked a question you weren't supposed to ask?

I'm rediscovering simple blogging. I'm running Blosxom on http://tilde.club/~poindexter and found there are a bunch of tools to
take plain text and make it into a somewhat pretty blog - even one
written completely in BASH!

I've created a website, but decided against blogging. Blogging is fine when > is personal, but I've seen people who post articles as blog posts, which
doesn't make sense. Articles and writing which aren't a log would be better > served categorised, tagged and sorted.
it reminds me about when everyone was trying to do podcasts. most people just arent interesting enough.

Hey now, I resemble that remark!
i never liked blogs. most people were boring.
now most blogs are just advertisements thinly diguised as blogs.
