I like it

This is a problem. Computers got faster over time and one would assume apps would also open faster. But no, developers that don’t care about their application’s performance (or companies, most of the time it’s not the developer’s fault) cause us to wait longer. Microsoft recently tweeted that they managed to get Microsoft Teams startup time down to 9 seconds from 18. I mean what the fuck.

Yes. Thats a fuckton for a code editor. I also have an operating system that needs ram too. And if I open a browser it’s over

I know. I also use VSCode. However I just hate how much ram it uses. I had a Laptop with 4Gb of ram and I could not open VsCode on that thing when I had literally anything else open because the system would freeze.

Just because VsCode uses Electron doesn’t mean that Electron is not bad

There’s no such thing as a efficient electron app. First electron apps have 80MB of overhead since electron needs to bundle a whole ass browser. Also in runtime this requires 120MB of ram.

If you really want to use webviews to make an app use Tauri.

I bet that is Microsoft getting scared, that the Steam Deck is taking it’s market share and paying Lenovo etc. to make Windows handhelds.

The UX will never be as good as the Steam Deck though since Windows just isn’t made for that

I know vim. I’m using vscodium with a vim plugin. I was coding in pure vim for half a year because my Laptop with 4 gigs of RAM couldn’t handle vscode. I just don’t want to configure vim so it does all the stuff VScodium does for me

But that’s something new to learn and configure. I just want to code why should I spend my time learning another text editor when vscodium is fine

It doesn’t matter if you use the DNS of your ISP or not they can always see what websites you visit. What they cannot see is website contents if the website is using https, which most modern websites are.

That means your ISP can see that you went to youtube.com but they can’t tell which video you watched or what else you did on the website.

The only thing they could do is analyze the traffic and see that there are many requests in a short time and assume you are probably watching a video.

Edit:

They will of course also not see if you clicked on a category on 9gag.

Also there’s no reason for using a VPN as the VPN provider will see the exact same thing as your ISP.

Great! Automated discrimination against the poor

Except Discord doesn’t really work because they use an outdated version of electron and screen sharing does not work

I agree. But if you’re going to build a web-based app rather use tauri

Use tauri instead. Uses less ram and disk space

Please remember that Microsoft Edge is the worst Browser Privacy-wise. Every image you view in the Browser is sent to Microsofts servers and they will combine the tracking from their browser with the tracking from Windows to get to know you very well

I’m currently using Liftoff and it is soo much better than Jerboa. It lacks a few features still but jerboa was wayy to buggy for me to use
