Yep. Surprise! This is what happens when you replace 90% of your window views with WebKit processes rendering HTML. You'd think that Apple saw how poorly this ended for Windows, but no they just had to join in the fun too. No, zram is not a good enough excuse to suffer through 8gb of memory on a Mac.
Thank you Project Marzipan/Catalyst. I love having hundreds of Safari processes running my OS instead of native Cocoa, yessiree.
- Pfhortune 2y agoI thought Marzipan/Catalyst were still native, just bridged over from the mobile OSes. Are they really using web tech to render them?
- internetter 2y agoOP is misrepresenting it, because its not just mac catalyst, its really everything. I don't understand the full scope, but there is definitely a browser renderer being used for text. See this[0], which I encountered only after days of confusion about why my text was looking suspiciously[1] like the default browser stylesheet [0]: https://www.cocoanetics.com/2012/12/uitextview-caught-with-trousers-down/ https://www.cocoanetics.com/2012/12/uitextview-caught-with-t...

- Jtsummers 2y agoCatalyst apps are native, yes.
- whynotminot 2y agoI don’t know what he’s talking about. Catalyst is actually pretty complex, and is indeed native — it seeks to bridge the API differences between uikit and appkit — it’s not the macOS equivalent of electron using webtech.
