It’s using 8 of 4,000 MB of RAM.
For a lot of projects, it’s not worth optimizing the thing that’s using 0.3% of the memory.
Surely whatever is using the other 99% is a larger concern.

Rights. Scammers were in the listing before, and AI has helped them appear more trustworthy.
Author complains systemd using 0.3% of memory is too much.
Systemd uses more memory than predecessors while current embedded systems often have more memory than predecessors.
Still, I upvoted the post because options and diversity in the Linux ecosystem are healthy.
Not sure why people downvoting this news. Any downvoters care to elaborate?
36% of Strava users who log cycling trips on the platform log some of their rides as commutes.
And maybe Control-E too?
Watching history repeat itself.
Date pickers that assume you have a 5 digit birth year.
There is a small LCD in the middle. This is a different brand, but the same idea.
I noticed they choose Fuzzel as the launcher / dmenu replacement. Me, too!
WhatsApp is a Meta business unit, yes.
And it has its own rules and policies for what is shared with other Meta business units.
Google has spell out the same. Just because you provide data like location to one Google service doesn’t automatically mean every other Google service can access it.
And they can’t just change their internal data policies however they like as some of this is governed by legal regulations.
Here’s a a story about how Google is not allowed to share data across business units without user consent, at least in the EU.

It was not even 3%, it was a tenth of that: 0.3%
Even with 1GB of RAM, it would be 1.2%.
If the design cuts it so close that it can’t spare 1% of RAM, the system is in danger of crashing in production due to memory exhaustion.
Sure, at some point the impact of systems will matter and you should choose something else. At the point, you may also want to reconsider traditional Linux altogether in favor of a special low-memory variant or alternative.
