I remember when 16 GB was for high work-load workstation tasks, it was not that long ago. Now it keeps getting used up by one single instance of firefox when it is open for too long. Screw javascript bullshit, i just want to use lynx and netsurf already.
Work laptop: MS Teams is taking 1.2 gigabytes of fucking RAM just to exist. I'm not in a call. I'm not transferring files. Just the basic interface with chats (which still somehow manages to suck more than chat inferences from decades ago).
bloated garbage code infests everything nowadays even before AI, there should be no excuse for a lot of these sites, i always feel like im in another world when im on a site that just works buttery smooth without delay or hiccup.
I've been wondering about using Firefox with a www<>gemini protocol<>gemini protocol<>www for a funn-er way of showing my middle finger to most websites, but my www dread hasn't reached the level required to do it. Yet.
