I agree with him. My personal laptop is an m1 MacBook Pro, and 5 years on it’s still a better experience than my work laptop which is a high spec dell with an i9 and 32GB ram. I’m more likely to chuck the dell than upgrade it because whatev

You’re assuming a discrete GPU with separate VRAM, and only supporting hardware accelerated rendering. If you have that you almost certainly have more than 2MB of ram

Sorry but this is nonsense. It’s better than nothing if you proactively log the hashes before you need them, but it’s actively harmful for anyone wi downloads it after it’s compromised.

Is that actually tiny core? It’s _likely_ it is, but that’s not good enough. > this same thing came up a few years ago Honestly, that makes this inexcusable. There are numerous SSL providers available for free, and if that’s antithetical

It’s not better than nothing - it’s arguably worse.

Which is served from the same insecure domain. If the download is compromised you should assume the hash from here is too.

A single 1920x1080 framebuffer (which is a low resolution monitor in 2025 IMO) is 2MB. Add any compositing into the mix for multi window displays and it literally doesn’t fit in memory.

I was being a little tongue in cheek, and my "basically" was doing a lot of heavy lifting. VSCode is electron based, so under the hood it's already doing the heavy lifting. It's got a first class editor, first class term

Alacritty is “barebones” and doesn’t have modern features like… tabs. Wezterm fits the vim/emacs bill of “make it whatever you want”. I want something in between - iTerm2 for 2025. Stuff like secure input on macOS is something that is
