Haha in NZ you get a message from all sorts, king, prime minister, minister for seniors, local MP, amd for many places, the mayor of where you live.
The list is here on the page about applying under “Who the messages are from”. You do have to apply (normally a family member will apply on their behalf), the king doesn’t magically know where you live 100 years after you were born.

In NZ you could get a Queen letter too (now it’s from the king). I wonder if it’s available across the Commonwealth.
Guess what! You can enable it in the Aegis settings: Appearance->Show next code
Thanks for bringing it to my attention, I never would have known it was there!
Holy shit why don’t other auth apps have that! It’s nice to get a warning that I only have 5 seconds to use the code, but how about I start typing the next code in those 5 seconds!
CoMaps: https://www.comaps.app/
It’s a fork of Organic Maps, after some drama. Only minor changes so far, but it’s what I’ve started using as my main maps/navigation app.
Some info on the history including the timeline leading to the CoMaps fork is listed on the about page.
But basically this is a maps app, where you can:
To give credit to the people trying to make good search, the internet is so much worse than it was a decade or two ago.
Over that time the ad driven internet has encouraged low quality, high volume websites full of articles designed around common search terms.
It started before AI, but now you can drum up an article in seconds it has got much worse.
AI is driving more searches
This is hilarious. People are searching more because they aren’t getting results they need from AI, which drives ad revenue so Google’s doing great!
Yeah the cache as part of used memory theory didn’t stack up. This comment (sorry, Lemmy probably doesn’t handle the link well) showed 54GB in use, 30GB cached, and 13GB available. 54+12 = 67GB total so cached doesn’t seem to be counted as in use since it should be counted as free (mostly).
In the end, I’m pretty sure it’s a memory hog website. It kept filling up until GNOME crashed and I lost my progress (I was trying to order prints for 1000 photos on a horrible website that made me change settings one photo at a time, and the longer I took the more RAM filled up).
Anyway the fact that you can’t run Linux with 16GB is weird
I mean, it runs fine. It’s more how I’m using it. Firefox 4GB, Element 1GB, Signal 1GB, Beeper 1GB, Steam 2GB, Joplin 1GB. That’s all just open and idle (chats and Steam don’t even have windows, just background) and are the minimum I would have open at any point. That’s already 10GB. By the time I open a couple of windows in a Jetbrains IDE or a particularly demanding website and suddenly it’s suffocating.
Well top currently shows:

While the “Mission Center” app shows:
This site says Linux calls cached RAM “free” but in my screen shot it’s definitely being shown as “used”. I guess this is a choice of this app?
Holy crap, I hadn’t considered that we have the technology to create articles on the fly based on search terms.
That could be a serious weapon of war - you get your site to the top through SEO, then show each user personalised propoganda. You show googlebot the genuine page but adjust the page based on what you know about the user.
