         @sarajw I was scared to search-engine this but I was not disappointed

            @zachleat @sarajw First time I have seen "search engine" as a verb.

               @seldo @sarajw it’s a thing I’ve only now decided to start doing

                  @zachleat @seldo hah! It seemed so natural that I read it and didn't even notice.

   @zachleat I still don't understand how people do this, but I grew up with a 1GB ddr2 athlon PC and mostly use my current PC in the same way still.

      @Piejacker875 my first computer was 133MHz and you know it had that turbo button 🫠

   @zachleat really? I used to use a tab suspender extension but I turned it off and actually things seem fine without it, which is nice, so I assume desktop browsers are doing a similar sort of thing under the covers now. Firefox seems to be anyway!

      @sil do you have a better computer than me, stuart

      1. Stuart Langridge 12 min later

         @zachleat on the one hand no, since I bought my machine in 2013. On the other hand maybe since I rammed it full of RAM, haha. On the gripping hand no, since 32GB seemed like the riches of Croesus when I did it but now everyone’s got that much on a thing attached to their keys or whatever. Which browser? This seems like a thing they ought to be competing in

            @sil I have an M1 with 16GB of memory 🫣 (my primary driver is firefox)

            1. Stuart Langridge 18 min later

               @zachleat there is no single thing that can improve your computing experience more than filling every single atom of space with RAM. I was mocked for putting loads in and I have been quietly happy ever since. Buy more memory. My machine is an i5 from a decade ago and I’m hardly ever CPU-bound. It’s always memory pressure. People will sneer and say ours more complicated than that, and I’m sure they’re right, but… drown your OS in memory and it makes it happy.

                  @sil apple charges a lot for memory tho 🫠

                  1. Stuart Langridge 25 min later

                     @zachleat they do. But firstly I stand by my point that there is nothing you can do which is better than more memory, and secondly, well, you elected to hitch your wagon to a company that charges lots of money for literally everything. That’s part of the deal, no? You gotta dance with the one that brung you. :)

                        @sil my claim is expanding and this is now multidimensionally rude!

                           @zachleat it’s like being a pelican: whichever way you turn, there’s always an enormous bill in front of you

   @zachleat plus almost all Creative Cloud apps 🫣😅

   @zachleat I just spent $50 to add 16GB of memory to my computer rather than close all my tabs.
