I have 16GB of RAM. If I were to play a game like minecraft with few mods (RLCraft), then it completely fills up my memory. No other app can run beside it and even then sometimes system runs out of memory and shut down plasma-shell to have enough memory for the game. (I don't use swap)

Now if I restart and use X11, I can play that exact same game and have firefox, mozilla thunderbird & signal running and still have 5 GB free memory.

The weird thing is that memory consumption per app doesn't really differ much between X11 and wayland session but in wayland amount of memory used by all apps don't add up to amount used memory. like there is couple of GIgabytes unaccounted for.

I asked about that before and people suggested disk cache might be the culprit but why I don't have this problem with wayland?

I use KDE plasma / Gentoo if this is at all relevant.

3 months ago, I discovered a unique 0-click deanonymization attack that allows an attacker to grab the location of any target within a 250 mile radius. With a vulnerable app installed on a target's phone (or as a background application on their laptop), an attacker can send a malicious payload and deanonymize you within seconds--and you wouldn't even know.

I'm publishing this writeup and research as a warning, especially for journalists, activists, and hackers, about this type of undetectable attack. Hundreds of applications are vulnerable, including some of the most popular apps in the world: Signal, Discord, Twitter/X, and others. Here's how it works:

Lemmy.world now has few different frontends. the one I am interested in is Alexandrite.

Is there any chance we could have that here as well?

Now for the first time scientists researching the brain of a fly have identified the position, shape and connections of every single one of its 130,000 cells and 50 million connections.

It's the most detailed analysis of the brain of an adult animal ever produced.

One leading brain specialist independent of the new research described the breakthrough as a "huge leap" in our understanding of our own brains.

The indictment of Senator Bob Menendez on charges of corruptly aiding the Egyptian government has set the stage for a week of renewed pressure on US lawmakers to withhold military aid to Egypt.

Menendez stepped town temporarily from his position as head of the Senate foreign relations committee on Friday after he was indicted by New York’s southern district court on a set of explosive and detailed charges.

These included accepting hundreds of thousands of dollars in bribes as well as gold bars, payments towards his mortgage and gifts including a luxury car, in exchange for using his influence and breaching his duties “in ways that benefited the government of Egypt”, while bolstering a halal meat certification business based in his New Jersey district linked to the Egyptian state.
