Wait.... This sounds... Good? That can't be right, this is 2026, we cannot possibly be watching a tech company do an actual good thing. They didn't even shove AI in there. This has gotta be fake, right?

The answer to your question was in the article; Because Microsoft requires developer accounts like his to re-verify the security of their software, Idrassi said that many devices running VeraCrypt will soon be unable to boot if the issue is not resolved.

It doesn't. If you're doing anything in a web browser you're going to need that much RAM for a reasonable experience no matter what DE you're using. Ubuntu are just trying to set more realistic expectations.

They're basically saying "Our software doesn't need more RAM, but most of what you run on it does, so this is a more realistic expectation for what will make for a good experience."

Projected by a company that makes RAM and wants to juice their stock price.

For the record, it’s also “With all the force of a great typhoon.”

These are the exact same people who cheer when Hegseth says that women shouldn’t be in the military. This is how they see women in uniform; as sex objects. As a fetish. Not as people who put a lot of hard work into doing a really hard job. Americans will worship the ground a soldier works on, to a degree that absolutely sickens me (and I’m in a military family), but only as long as that soldier is male. The moment a woman picks up a rifle, she’s a pin up, nothing more.

Even better than that is Siteground’s absolutely abysmal support system. In order to access support they force you to type your question into their chatbot first. This is not optional. It’s the only way to get support. Fools that we are, we actually tried the solution the chatbot offered. This resulted in a good amount of time wasted looking for settings that didn’t exist, because the solution was total bullshit. They claim they’ve customized this thing to give helpful outputs, but it’s clearly just ChatGPT with a custom prompt. When we finally spoke to an agent I pointed this out and they responded with the stock “You should always double check the output of AI” line. DOUBLE CHECK WITH WHOM, YOU MOUTH BREATHING MORON? THIS IS YOUR OFFICIAL FUCKING SUPPORT CHANNEL. YOU LITERALLY DIDN’T GIVE ME ACCESS TO ANY OTHER KIND OF SUPPORT UNTIL I USED THE CHATBOT FIRST, SO WHERE IN THE ACTUAL FUCK AM I SUPPOSED TO DOUBLE CHECK THE OUTPUT? Is it with a customer service agent? Is that what you’re saying?! That I should ignore whatever it tells me, wait until I can talk to a representative and then do whatever they say instead? Because if that’s the case, WHY IN THE FUCK ARE YOU FORCING EVERYONE TO TALK TO THE BOT FIRST??!!! Absolutely fucking asinine idiocy. Anyway, don’t use Siteground, they fucking suck.

My wife will quote this at least three times a day.

For the record, you could install the removepaywalls.com browser extension on all your devices and never have this problem again.

It’s genuinely shocking when you consider how useless white boys will try to be a rapper about literally anything. There are multiple guys out there rapping about crypto, NFTs, and $GME. But these fucking losers had to get a computer to spit one out because they can’t even manage to be as appealing as a conspiracy theory about a mythical short squeeze that will reset the entire global financial system.
