oh! luxury! (a lot of our formative life experiences happened at 2400 baud)
it is still wild to remember that what counts as "normal" specs for most computer related technology has increased by a couple orders of magnitude compared to even ten years ago. (ok maybe not an entire order of magnitude, but like, still a pretty large amount)
of course this isnt universal but still. really fast increase
yeah so I just hit reload on my Discord tab just now and it immediately downloaded 27 MiB, all of which are in RAM.
to put that in context, on the computer I learned C on, my hard drive was 20 MiB and my RAM was 2 MiB, and that had to hold the OS and every program I used - browser, development tools, word processor, graphics editor, games... it would also have taken probably about a week to download, given that I wouldn't have been able to just leave it running.
Cohost is a pretty reasonable website, and only seems to need to download about 300 KiB when I reload it. That still strikes me as far more than the task actually needs, but it's probably around bare minimum for doing it on the web as opposed to in an app.
Very few websites today are reasonable. There is just so much waste. So much.
