Please, tell me more

They tried to fix it, but gnome didn't allow to customize the comment

Thank you for the in depth explanation

You have a lot of ram, linux will try to use most of it, it's a normal thing. There's a huge difference from using a large amount of ram when available to NEEDING that amount to run.Try installing both OSes on a machine with 4gb, and see the difference between them. One will be usable, while the other will have a poor performance. You can even push it harder with a 1gb machine. Linux will provide a system with basic functionality, while windows will be unusable.

Is there an actual way to stop it? I don't think so. At least, moving to the fediverse would stop any particular corporation from having the monopoly of it, prevent reddit-like abuse of power, would give users more power, among a few other things.

Can someone eli5 why emule stopped being used, if people liked it so much?

The way I see it, soulseek is focused on sharing smaller files and niche stuff to a small community. For large files, or things with a large audience, other tools would be better suited.

I use soulseek quite often. It's a good source of books and pdfs too.

You got me. I should stop taking things too literally

Maybe we need a technical questions and answers siteon the fediverse!

It's a metaphor for us killing ourselves in the processes of deforestation, not a story of someone actually making a coffin.

you're right, the matter is more complicated than I thought...
