I suspect companies behind needlessly memory-intensive software would rather push (harder) towards cloud services, or ignore the problem entirely - I’m sure they’ll find a way to enshittify their products in a way that solves the problem for them, or see lower profits and learn absolutely nothing.
If the software in question is something people need for their job, those companies can absolutely just decide that it’s not their problem and that you’ll just have to face the shortage head-on.

I recall listening to half of a video from SumitoMedia, where his answer to your question is, quote, “do you hear how fucking stupid you sound?” (you can probably guess why I didn’t watch the rest of it).

The beatings will continue until the demand for AI improves

You know I’m talking about the Start & Stop system and not the Start & Keep Rolling Slowly, right?

I’d still like to be able to engage S&S with a button without shutting of the oil pump and whatnot, tbh.

I guess the part of Italy I live in stop signs are best described by your second paragraph, but they’re pretty frequent. These roads get wild sometimes.

You mention stop signs so that sounds like the US

Wait hold on… why’s that? Is there any juristiction where there are traffic laws, but no stop signs?

Sounds insane […]

This is in Italy, it IS insane, and admittedly I don’t know how much my grievances against S&S are mitigated by automatic transmissions (never used in tests).
Tests do not require you to disable S&S, instructors simply tell you not to let out the clutch while in neutral to avoid it, but the strictest examiners see engine shutdowns as “failure to correctly operate the vehicle”, like stalling - if it happens once, we all make mistakes, if it happens twice, come on man, if it happens three times k gg bb, it doesn’t matter whether it’s a feature of the car.

There are arguments that having your engine off on the road is unsafe, I guess those examiners are just being zealous? If they even exist, I’m trusting my instructor’s tales on this factoid, but drivers’ ed here is very strict so I’m inclined to believe him.

Most of the people who turn S&S off do so because they find it annoying, I myself try to use it effectively but I prefer driving responsibly rather than playing chess with a half-metric-ton deadly weapon.

I do know that S&S systems require better starters, but that just means they cost more, right? And even if the increased cost is marginal, the increased fuel consumption on short stops is still a problem.

As far as I’ve read around, S&S mainly wears out the starter, not the engine itself.

I don’t understand how the system could cause problems on slippery roads, but if it works on OP’s car like it does in mine, the way it’s designed to kick in is dumb, infuriating and counterproductive.

I have to disable it every time I start the car, because otherwise it would just stop the engine and restart it immediately whenever I get to a stop sign (which burns more fuel than just staying on).
BUT, if I want S&S to work, I need to re-enable it BEFORE I slow down, otherwise it just doesn’t - but I can’t predict how long I have to wait when I stop before I get to the sign, if I could they wouldn’t have put a stop sign there in the first place!

So I either:

• keep S&S enabled and disable it at every busy junction before I put it in neutral, then enable it again;
• forget about it and always keep it on, wasting fuel, increasing emissions, prematurely having my starter replaced to prevent failures in the middle of busy roads;
• forget about it and always keep it off or just never put the car in neutral, which is what all driving schools in my country teach drivers to do by the way (people have failed their tests by not preventing the engine shutdown), and possibly fully shut the engine off at my not-taking-drivers-license-test discretion.

And my car isn’t even a KIA, I can’t imagine how bad the S&S system would be on a KIA!

• Irrelevant for most people, but the garbage uncollapsible UI makes it painful to make it share screenspace with other windows on a FHD screen (which is a tragedy for tiling WM users);
• The markdown implementation is a bit janky IME
• “By reading the first 9 words of this notice you accept that you may not sue us and have to arbitrate your disputes”
• Third-party clients are against TOS, as you noted below

By what method, my lord?

No, I’ve tried twice to point out the simple concept of not being able to do something and its relation to iii@mander.xyz 's comment, I thought the second attempt may have been a bit too condescending but apparently it wasn’t.

I’m sorry but you’re on your own.

See the (non-philosophical) problem?

They said “I don’t think you can banish feelings”, you even quoted that, and you consequently suggest banishing feelings?

Tbh, despite the horrible UX I wouldn’t even be mad if I saw the month dialog in the wild

In fact, depending on my mood, someone may have to figure out which month Deculyuary is.

Magic is computers

• There are runes that can create golems, or perform math like no human ever could
• A rune can only be read or written by mages of the correct school
• Computers are haunted by insect-like ghosts who can’t be seen by the naked eye
• Ward spells, created by mages only for mages, can be used to detect the ghosts or defend against them
• Magic manifests when mana flows through the spellcasting implement
• Old runes are incomprehensible to younger mages, but years of reverse-engineering study from the dedicated ones can reveal their secrets
• Souls may lose their storage device physical form, but as long as they exist, they can be brought back to life
