every time i notice my computer getting sluggish and open Task Manager to see what's up i die a little inside. this feels kinda obscene

of course, Discord is always the rotten cherry on top of this shit sundae. i actually tried closing and restarting it after taking this screenshot and discovered there were two stuck processes just silently chewing up ~15% of my CPU. i wonder how long it's been like that

also idk why Chrome needs 11 processes and a gigabyte of RAM just to watch a Twitch stream (literally the only thing i use it for!) but here we are

This is exactly why I started running twitch the weird way I do, the amount of browser resources it was eating up to produce checks notes a video playback and chat box, was obscene.

Discord actively sniffs every running application on your machine to see if any of them might be games, so I had to stick it inside a sandboxed browser profile. Fucking cursed, that one.

+1.. once i switched to mpv + ytdlp + irc for twitch i never looked back. site is literally, literally unusable on all my machines, it either crashes the tab before the actual video loads or chugs so hard it can't keep up with the feed.

I've accepted java into my life so I can use Chatty... still get my emotes and fancy features and despite Java, minimal resource usage in comparison.

Software engineering needs to stop until we figure out how things got this bad.

chrome does a bunch of sandboxing, it's one thing they did that firefox also copied. there are a bunch of processes because every part of it is a different one for various reasons

and because discord is built on electron, and because electron is built on chromium, ...
