I’m freaking out the equivalent of mutt and irc require more than 8GB of RAM to run simultaneously. What are modern operating systems and applications doing?

  You can post images in Slack and use text formatting. Those are things that use memory.

    Sloppy memory management is what uses memory. But those apps are in a class of their own, along with Electron apps.

      Slack is an Electron app.
