Turns out the status quo of Linux memory management somehow works pretty damn okay, nobody seems to really know why, and nobody cares.

Just run memmaker.exe?
you just gave me a panic attack about trying to get ultima underworld II and Star Wars: TIE Fighter to run
You have 57 minutes left to work it out…
not my bedtime!
For me I loved the challenge of squeezing out a few extra k of lower memory. My autoexec.bat had four hundred lines in it.
I miss those days honestly. There’s really not much practical benefit to overclocking anymore, even broke college kid level devices come with at least 8 gigs of ram.
8… gigs… of ram… and ALL of it treated like lower memory… Could you imagine that in the mid 90s? I’d be thinking star trek.
I learned so much in those days about the outrageously absurd, efficiency of code and concatenation and stupid little things. Early days of coding and even scripting through these silly difficulties shaped us in ways we can’t even recognize now.
It was all about solving puzzles using primitive tools and incompatible systems just so we could play simple games. I’m reading articles now about how Gen Z doesn’t even know how to type, lol.
The curse of accessibility, if you make something so easy that anyone can use it, everyone will.
Or nobody will trust it
Well since we are talking about the internet, is that such a bad idea?
It’s not called the ‘web of lies’ for nothing.
Says the guy proposing a form of logic on “the web of lies” lol
… that literally makes no rhetorical sense.
Also I wasn’t performing any logic, I asked a question and made a statement. There was no evaluation of anything in there. Are you a misconfigured bot?
I was maintaining a custom autoexec.bat just for TIE Fighter.
