- tracker1 8mo agoOr at least improving the shared browser ui / chromeless experience for "app" installs. I think that Tauri is pretty reasonable as well, weak link being Linux currently.
- dgxyz 8mo agoNo fuck the browser. It's just layers of shit on shit on shit. Mail.app is sitting here using 137Mb of RAM. Outlook 1270Mb.
- tracker1 8mo agoAnd the likes of Zed save so much ram over VS Code... oh, wait...
- dgxyz 8mo agoI use vim for everything so I have no idea. My main machine has 16Gb of RAM and I don't think I've ever seen it go over 4Gb and that was when I had a 200gb mmap'ed sparse array.
- tracker1 8mo agoOn my personal desktop, I have 96gb... I've never gone over 70 or so.. but that was with a lot of services running a fairly complex system with data loaded locally. I generally don't five a f*ck about the ram I'm using day to day. I'll run various updates and reboot between once a month and once a quarter.
