Thank you for the link, this rant is amazing 😂

Right, I forgot that autistic people are not allowed to post about things that annoy them in a community about annoying things. Noted.

Right! IDE is probably the missing piece. I use Neovim exclusively so I didn’t even think about this.

Yeah, but those shouldn’t really influence memory usage too much unless actively used, right? I’m pretty sure browsers unload unused tabs from memory.

I myself sometimes use quite a lot of tabs, although I have to admit it’s definitely not close to 80 tabs open at all times.

I have no idea how people use so much RAM. I use a 16 GB machine for work and it runs perfectly. For the majority of the time I’m well below 8GB. And I do use Electron apps.

Of course, I’m aware of the possible uses demanding more than 16 GB but I can’t believe this would be the case for a majority of the people.

I see, that’s a valid concern. I wonder whether we could try to prevent such abuse by automatically excluding more prone groups like prisoners. It really seems crazy to me how many organs, which could literally save someone’s life, are going to waste.

Why not? Why do you need the ability to deprive someone of a live saving procedure after you literally died?

I want a good tiling DE solution so much. I really hope COSMIC will fill in that gap.

Thanks for the suggestion but I’m not going back from Wayland either.

I know there are ways to tile in both Gnome and KDE, I tried some of them. Unfortunately, none of them allow for workspace management type I’m used to.

What I need is to have workspaces 1-5 on the first monitor, 6-8 on the second, and 9-11 on the third. I need those to be bound to the monitors so I don’t have to manually move them around. And I need to switch between them independently of course. It’s interesting that no DE seems to be able to do that but it’s a standard way to set up Hyprland or Sway.

I can’t go back from a tiling WM but I would actually prefer to use a DE nowadays. I seriously hope that COSMIC will be able to fill that gap between the two.

I mean, it’s like a fucking drug. The learning curve is steep AF but past some point, when it starts making sense, it’s just incredible. I’m currently moving my whole setup to NixOS and I’m in love.

Thank you for such an insightful response! I appreciate it very much. It actually resonates with me a lot. I will definitely try to apply your advice in my life.

Thanks! Solidarity is more than enough. Maybe it’s the novelty of my diagnosis but just finding out that there are people sharing some of my struggles gives me some kind of a relief.

I’m actually familiar with both shrooms and LSD. While I had mostly positive experiences with them, it wasn’t anything life changing. Definitely didn’t affect that part of my life. Still fun though.

I wish you all the best too!

Thanks for answering!

Sport activities are a non-optional part of my routine. Calisthenics, walking, running, biking. I do those no matter what so at least my physical health is taken care of. The sad part is that during a fixation period I do them as a chore without really enjoying it.

I have to mention dataclasses here, especially with frozen=True.

Seriously, use dataclasses whenever possible, they’re great.
