The swap file or pagefile is automatically set up in Windows 10/11. You have to do something manually to prevent it.

yes. but it still is different from virtual memory. that's a broader thing.

By making the swap file larger, which may be an issue if the hard drive doesn't have enough space left, and if not it will still increase the amount of time needed to recover data from the swap, because it's larger.

then open the control panel and fix the swap setup. and then enjoy your more ram. the solution to this problem does not seem to be not upgrading to have more ram.

virtual memory is related, but that's a broader system that also gets used when no swap file was set up.

I agree that adding more RAM won't necessarily make the problem go away as windows might still swap the game out if it deems it more important to cache more files in RAM, but I don't see why that would make it worse.

You elect lawmakers.

well I personally certainly don't. I have too little power to do that, and I'm afraid too much care about non-existent made up problems, and too few about things like this.

Fascinating.

your response actually is! does not sound too genuine.

If you and I can agree that children shouldn't be in casinos, then they shouldn't be allowed into the casino. I am open to your suggestions.

children shouldn't get uncontrolled access to smartphones. access needs to be controlled by the parent. For medicine and cleaning things most already know to place those items out of children's reach. from this aspect, we would need to tackle the problem that the children obtains the parent's phone. some small items, maybe cleaning appliances too, are made to have a bad bitter taste so that children don't want to put them in their mouth. according to that pattern, we would need to mandate that online services are ugly and irritating to use. but is that the solution we actually want? I don't think so. or could we just ban services that are tuned to make people addicted, like drugs? but how do we define that, and that too is a double edged sword.

but ultimately, we either make casinos unattractive, or make the parents be the casinos' first line bouncers, in the digital world.
the first one sounds good, but the internet and even social media is not only for taking advantage of people, contrary to casinos.
the second one requires cooperation. how would you incentivise cooperation? tie benefits to it,or part of the benefits, through child protection services or something?

to me it's easier to look through an issue page on forgejo than a chain of mails. search is also easier: inside an issue I can ctrl+f, and across issues of a project there's a search tool. but how would you search across all issues of a specific project (repo)?

forgejo issues can also have tags, associated projects and milestones for organization. also pinned issues for better visibility for newbies and/or easier access to anyone.

mailing lists are like a discord or matrix chat to me: a mostly disorganized flow of messages. probably there are ways to organize it, but doesn't it need the explicit cooperation (e. g. in using a uniform formatting for mail titles) of all participants, including newbies?

If this bad parenting happens often enough to be a real problem, then whining into the wind that "no one has any common sense anymore," or whatever you're doing, isn't a solution.

of course thats not a solution. but what can you do? lawmakers wont make laws that make the parents responsible for their negligence. sometimes it's not even intentional negligence, but that they don't even know what should they do, and how can that be done

I do blame the game a little because it's a game that really, really, really wants you to spend money on diamond gem funbucks.

that's fair, I do too. I also blame all the commercial social networks, if I can call them that way

You don't want to show your ID even though we all do that for alcohol—fine.

just let me remind you that that happens offline, and it is provable if copies are not preserved. normally you just show it and that's it.

That is, unless you would like to spearhead this global movement to teach underprivileged parents how to configure their phones?

if someone cannot properly configure their phones, then they need to be made liable for the consequences their negligence causes.

[–] WhyJiffie 1 points 1 day ago (2 children)

this law is the result of bad parenting. if parents would parent, nothing like this would be needed

the issue is forcing everyone for giving up sensitive personal information.
