#program: RAM

[forthedancingandthethriving]

(Hey remember RAM? Because I do :3)

RAM was sweating buckets. Absolute buckets. Absolute FUCKING BUCKETS.

There was a high-ranking Admin here. One in various shades of yellow, with a glistening gold koban coin as a clasp to their outfit. The ram Program was stood off to the side as she watched the other one work. She'd been shown a badge - whoever this was being an ambassador from the Council of the Adminspace. Yes, she may work for the Browsers, but an Admin of that caliber outranked her a great deal.

Why were they even here?

This was just so odd. Ambassadors for the Council came regularly, but it was never to inspect things. It was mostly to request files for meetings and other such things. Yes, she knew the Adminspace had been having an investigation (she didn't know what, but she found it odd how Cursor had been the one to speak with her) but no details were made known to the public. RAM, of course, only knew because of Cursor asking her odd questions.

The Admin had been careful not to say anything but.. it sounded like someone was missing. But that was impossible, wasn't it? Sure, the Adminspace had its troubles, but no one would go missing and not be found for months!

Well.. there was that incident at Nintendo World Online. The server had been closed off for a time, and when it opened back up, there were rumors of Programs being given credits to not speak about what happened at all, along with signing contracts about it. She didn't understand it, at all. What could have happened to cause such secrecy?

"I'm finished," the Ambassador finally spoke.

RAM blinked and glanced up. She checked her internal clock and balked.

30 minutes?! What had this Ambassador been doing for 30 minutes?

It took a moment before she nodded. "R-Right, of course. I'm- I'm glad I was able to help..?"

"You were able to help immensely." The Ambassador put the data pad away. "Have a good day."

RAM watched with a small grimace, hooves clicking together as she watched the Ambassador leave. She turned her head to stare towards the rows of shelves, and the data within. What could be so important?

She approached and brought up a scanner, running it over everything.

She faltered at the [NOTICE: SUBMITTER FOR MULTIPLE DATAS CHANGED] appeared in a box beside her. She hastily pulled a data pad and scanned it over before frowning at the submitter section.

U.A.S.

Undisclosed Adminspace Submitter.

Why would..?

Wait, hadn't this.. been a data pack CPU had submitted?

.. all of these changed ones were..!

One by one she yanked out the data pads and looked. Her face went from confusion to shock to bewilderment.

She stood there in the back of the IA, alone, staring at the shelves.

Why in the world did the Ambassador do this? Technically, she couldn't do anything about it. It wasn't against rules, and to make changes to something a more powerful Admin wanted to change.

RAM shook her head.

Oh, she did not like this.

Alastor likes to romanticize what he did to Vox and Niffty. He has absolutely no problem admitting that, yes, it was torture, and one of the most horrific, violating forms of torture imaginable to boot, but he sees a certain beauty in it. He thinks about it in terms of “metamorphosis” and “creation.” He’s fine with describing it in terms of destruction too, but anyone can destroy a person; it takes a truly extraordinary level of skill to be able to create someone new, at least in his opinion.

I was going through my Tron meme doc again and found this:

Beck-Sark: “M, what do you want to eat?”

MCP: The souls of the innocent–

Ram: “A bagel.”

MCP: No!

Ram: “Two bagels.”

Tron pop up book

It’s really cute and really made to be a bedtime story for a kid but I adore it. However the seller really lied about the condition’s… there is SEVERAL tears and I don’t think I can really make the MCP explode on the last page without completely breaking the pop up.

I love how this implies Alan personally put him in the games. That image is just so funny to me “oh you’ll help? Kindly step into the laser beam”

I think this is supposed to be Flynn getting digitized but I do not know that man-

Going to visit Tron’s girlfriend, you know casually. Ram dies. He’s never even drawn he’s just dead.

First one’s absolutely my favorite page the drawings are so cute and you get to move the disk up. That’s adorable.

"I've never been to the Internet Archive before.." Abyssal mutters softly, eyes twinkling with amazement as she strolls in with CPU by her side. He smiles up at her, clearly endeared by her amazement.

"Only accessible through the Hub," he informs her with a hum. "The Browsers were strict about that."

"Browsers?" She blinks.

"You know, Google, Firefox, those guys." The older Admin answers as they get to the large doors. He pushes them open with practiced ease, and she follows him inside. "They have their own spaces they govern, but this is the one place they all have a hand in."

Abyssal nods as she follows him, marveling at the grand library. Large bookshelves with what she could tell were filled with many reports. She didn't really envy those who had to write it down.

"Is this a part of your job?" She asks. "I thought you focused on all the capturing and stuff."

"This is an unofficial part." CPU shakes his head. "My job entails termination on the spot, Abyssal. Crash handles capture and recapture, while Antivirus handles those bigger threats fit for Computer Hell. I handle those that needed to be terminated on the spot since Crash doesn't really have permission to terminate."

"So.. I've been doing similar to Crash? Except I've been bringing Worms's viruses to Computer Hell or similar?" Abyssal asks.

"Pretty much." He nods, waving to some Archivists.

"Feels like I'm one of you guys now," she jokes, "with how I'm doing that and universe clean ups."

"It fits you." He says simply, making her look surprised before he waves down a Program. "RAM, over here."

"Oh, C-CPU!" The program is a blue ewe, though with horns akin to a ram's. With a green sweater and skirt flowing as she floated over, hooves gently clack as she stands on the ground. Her eyes shift over to Abyssal, and momentarily, her expression falls. "O-oh.. is this..?"

"This is Abyssal," CPU spoke quickly. "A very good and close friend of mine, and one of the younger Admins at the Adminspace. Abyssal, this is RAM. She's the Lead Archivist here at the IA."

RAM blinks. "She is.. a lot taller than you."

"I've been getting that lately.." Abyssal smiles sheepishly, rubbing the back of her neck. She glances at all the command boxes around RAM, a bit shocked.

RAM claps her front hooves together, smiling. "We-well! What do you need?"

"Just entering some new data about Viruses." CPU waves his hand, and some data boxes appear. They float over to RAM, and she nods gratefully.

"Thank you so much!" She smiles before glancing away shyly. "Uhm.. is there.. anything else I could help you with?"

"No, thank you. Have a good day." CPU waves goodbye before turning and walking off. Raising an eyebrow, Abyssal waves goodbye as well and follows.

"Why'd you end the conversation so quickly?" She tilts her head. "She seemed nice."

"Only because you were with me." CPU sighs. "RAM.. she's a good Program, don't get me wrong, kid. But she's just.. she's clingy and way too affectionate. She keeps trying to flirt with me, too."

"But you're single?" Abyssal tilts her head more.

The older Admin drags a hand down his face and mutters something softly before looking up at her. "Look, the bottom line is, I just don't like her like that. She's not my type, and never will be. So I always keep it short with her."

"Ooh.." The younger Admin nods, following him out of the Internet Archive building. "Okay, I get it."

"Good." He stretches his arms before sighing. ".. you feel up to seeing the others?"

Abyssal grins. "I'm not the one suggesting it! Yes!"

CPU snorts, though there's a smile on his lips. "Don't let it get to your head, kid."

"No promises!"

Does anyone know of a way to force a memory limit on Firefox for Android?

All of the methods I've seen are only for desktop (mobile doesn't have about:config) or people saying that you should leave the memory management to the OS (clearly not helpful) or people complaining about slowness or storage space or browser crashes (irrelevant, clogging up search results) or confusing ram with internal storage (who even decided to call internal storage memory in the first place??? As if RAM didn't already mean random access MEMORY).

I'm getting sick of Firefox suddenly using up all of the RAM and causing my entire phone to hard crash and reboot 😭 (not just a tab or browser crash).

My phone's fairly old (I've gotta upgrade soon due to the 3g shutoff and lack of VOLTE support) but that's still a while away and it's only Firefox that's causing this to happen, everything else runs fine (plus I'd still like to use this thing even when I upgrade!). Can't mess about in root until I upgrade because this era of phone punishes you if you do (and I don't want to break something in there and be out of a phone for several months! Again!)

BEVERLY:"Hey look, this, is all a mistake, i'm just an Accounting Program. I work at an Office, I can't play these "video games"!"

Red Guard:"Sure you can, Gal Pal! You look like a professional Athlete if I ever saw one!"

BEV:"Who, me? Are you kidding? No, when I go to calculate USD-to-Yen Conversion Rates, I get out of breath! Hey, look, you girls are gonna make my User Mrs. Stephens very angry, she's a Full-Branch Manager."

Red Guard:"Great, another Religious Nut!"

CROM:"I'd say "Welcome, Friend!", but not here, not like this."

BEV:"I don't even know what i'm doin' here…"

CROM:"You believe in the Users?"

BEV:"Yeah, sure! I-if I don't have a User, then who Wrote me?"

CROM:"That's what you do in here. Bertha, the Evil Female User, has been snapping up all us Programs who believe in the Good Users. If she finds you useful, she uses a machine of some kind to take over all of your Functions, so she gets more powerful, but if she can't use you, she sends you down here to the Game Grid to get the Bits blasted out of you. What's your name?"

BEV:"BEVERLY, but just call me BEV."

CROM:"I'm CROM. They'll train you for the Games, but… (whistles while doing a quick motion with his right hand/Identity Disc) I hope you make it.

Hey, what's been going on in the other Sectors? I've been stuck in here for 200 Microcycles."

BEV:"It's murder out there! You can't even travel around your own Microcircuits without permission from this "Bertha" lady you speak of, or any higher-up Programs loyal to her. I mean, sending me down here to play Games! Who does she calculate she is!?"

(I've been meaning to start making Tron-related posts on here as part of an attempt to (hopefully) become more active on here~

I decided it would be fun to start my Tron-related posts with a slightly modified scene from the original 1982 Tron movie, with Crom, who's one of my favorite Tron characters, alongside a female Young Adult OC of mine named Beverly, who is usually called "Bev" as a nickname (Along with a mention of a Middle-Aged villainous User OC, who will basically be a woman who is similar to both Sark and the Master Control Program~), but based on an upcoming 1982!Tron AU i'm currently in the process of Brainstorming, which will take place sometime in the early 2000s 🤔

Hope you all enjoy this Incorrect Quotes post! 😀)

Man, I can't lose Ramattra as my Main Blorbo because there are so many people who are so painfully, astonishingly, confidently wrong about him and it still fucking makes me want to eat glass every time I see it.

Dread Delusion: Hey guys, our ps1 graphics emulating game just got a perfomance patch! (Again)

Me: Did you? The game still slows down when I do a 360° spin. Literal fucking ELDEN RING mid dlc bossfight doesn't slow down for me. But yall's visible polygons and vectors ass game can't manage that.

It's not a very big slow down, but if I am having multiple slow downs when I turn around and look at shit in the tutorial zone. Your game STILL isn't optimized for shit. Call in Bunlith and have her go over your code, Let her clean yall up some. Cause this is shameful.

So what's Foxy think of their handler, then? Does he watch Roxy fall for them and tease/offer bad relationship advice? Maybe become a little smitten himself?

Foxy doesn't like Matt, and never has. Something about the guy has always rubbed him the wrong way, and now he's permanently stuck looking at the bastard. Roxy is used to ignoring Foxy whenever Matt is around. Foxy didn't care for Matt as soon as he started. But in all honesty, he never cared for any of the like. Base Handlers besides his own and Bonnie's.

If we go the route of the viewer insert being Roxy's Handler, then he's a little more forgiving but still "Mmm you should be careful lass, Humans don't last forever, an that one is WEIRD". But over time mayhaps see Roxy's reason for liking them, and come to find himself falling for them too.

As for Foxy's base Handler. Well.

She quit soon after Foxy was decommissioned. She was no longer contractually obligated to be there, and couldn't handle seeing Roxy essentially wearing Foxy's face all day. She had no idea Foxy could even potentially be trapped inside Roxy. They assured her he would be completely wiped.

So tragically Foxy doesn't get to see her again, but did get to say goodbye.

Is this good ?
