why the fuck does VLC use several gigs of RAM if it's been open for awhile

why is every piece of software such absolute trash

@deprecated_ii It's probably just caching. Same as webbrowsers. More cached makes it faster. If you're not using the ram for anything it's wasted

@Nocturn_Adrift @deprecated_ii You don't gain more ram in the future by not using it

@applejack @deprecated_ii If the software doesn't use up the RAM, I don't need to gain more ram.

That is why I am still using the same laptop I have been using for about half a decade, and why I will probably be able to use it for the next twenty+ if I really wanted to. Because the (majority of) software I use follow KISS principles and doesn't do stupid needless gimmicks in order to keep a bugman consooomer base and the highest amount of women in their dev team.
