guy with eighty thousand games in Steam: "why is it using a lot of memory?"

I'm running this steam normally with 52,963 total games (many free or limited/learning and a lot of other stuff), and my secondary steam in sandboxie plus with 32,765 total games (many free or limited/learning and a lot of other stuff). For me, there is no escape from this VRAM usage other than watch steam barely work if hardware acceleration is disabled, which then puts too much load on cpu. Right now this steam is using 510 meg vram and the other 404, and I just restarted both of the "above normal" webhelpers that handle that. Before the restart it was more like 900 VRAM used on this one and 500 on my alt. I agree that 2gig is very abnormal and I have never seen that much used on either account. As for small mode, well, Google AI says:

No, Steam's Small Mode does not meaningfully reduce VRAM (video RAM) usage.

VRAM Impact: Small mode primarily changes the library layout to a compact, text-based list rather than rendering heavy store banners and rich graphics, saving very little VRAM (typically around 20 MB, which has no practical effect on gaming performance).

Howdy! I have a client that's hiring a data engineer (ideally with Snowflake experience, but they'll take anyone smart enough to figure it out) in Canberra. I can arrange for the automated screens and the like to be skipped, and the interviews will not have any leetcode-style nonsense. I've […]

if you use Forgejo and would like more CI resources than Codeberg provides (or just don't want to run your own CI): I would like to onboard a few more people/projects to https://felinebuildservices.org/

I'm reading a wikipedia article about peregrine falcons, and how they hunt pretty much anything that moves (preference for flying, but young foxes and salmon are on menu as well), and my first thought is: "sky cats"

Anyone know of any student-led anti-GenAI campaigns in UK schools? My daughter hates the amount it gets used *by the school itself* and wants to do something…

I approve of this method of proving humanity. Much better than asking me to tick all the boxes containing buses or whatever. (Seen at a UK National Archives survey)

A question asking the user to prove that they are a human by answering the question, "Which of the following best describes your involvement in creating the Domesday Book in the year 1086? I was ..."

There are several options, including "William the conqueror and commissioned the Domesday book"
