Every app ships with its own isolated web browser now. That idea needs to die.

Back to native apps without bloated toolkits!



Or 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.


No fuck the browser. It's just layers of shit on shit on shit.

Mail.app is sitting here using 137Mb of RAM. Outlook 1270Mb.


And the likes of Zed save so much ram over VS Code... oh, wait...


I 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.


On 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.
