I have to admit, the performance of a Chromium-based browser compared to Firefox is abysmal.

@Gargron Vivaldi is the only Chromium browser I've experienced that on. It definitely feels like the most bloated. I've been using Helium but it doesn't support DRM so no Netflix but otherwise it's the lightest and fastest Chromium browser I've tried.
@KalenXI @Gargron the absolute best chromium-based browser Iāve ever used was Stainless. It didnāt exist for long and it hasnāt been updated since 2011 (!), but it was still the only Chromium browser that didnāt feel like bloatware.
Vivaldi showed promise initially, but itās now so over-laden with features that it feels more like an operating system than a browser.
I just want a bare-bones stripped back browser that blocks all ads and AI bullshit. That shouldnāt be as rare as it is.

I have to admit, the performance of a Chromium-based browser compared to Firefox is abysmal. I don't have that many tabs but it lags a lot and the browser constantly puts tabs in hibernation to save memory--something I've never needed with Firefox. So all of you Chrome users live like this? No wonder RAM is in high demand.
@Gargron Out of curiosity, did you check Helium vs Chromium? I was wondering if you noticed a difference tho I am quite pleased with Firefox (letās see if I still am if they stuff AI weirdness in itā¦)

@gargron@mastodon.social I realized I was not in the same league of software developer as my colleagues when I built a PC and put in 4GB of RAM while they'd go 16 and up.
This was back in the day before Electron apps, so think Notepad++ and Sublime Text, truly lightweight stuff.
You are incentivized to build fast shit when constrained by your RAM, I'll tell you that.

@Gargron Now take that information and couple it with the fact that a lot of business apps are now Electron-based. The only thing worse than running out of memory because of Chromium is running out of memory because you have 3 wholly separate instances of Chromium running with no shared resources.

@mausmalone@mastodon.social time to move back to Sublime Text and mIRC š

The AI Vampire https://steve-yegge.medium.com/the-ai-vampire-eda6e4f07163
In which Steve Yegge, formerly an interesting tech blogger, now of Gas Town, realizes that becoming a "10x engineer" through vibecoding is actually just transferring wealth to the bosses. Halfway through realizes, maybe there's someway for workers to... collectively... bargain? If only set theory had some term that could describe such a process.
Nonetheless, this doesn't seem to have changed the direction Yegge is pushing at all https://steve-yegge.medium.com/welcome-to-the-wasteland-a-thousand-gas-towns-a5eb9bc8dc1f

@nixCraft I think itās good to remember that enshittification is the intent, and deskilling is part of the process.

Iām not much of a criminal type, and pushing 60, so Iām probably not going to lead the charge. But I will cheer from afar.

When do we get to the firebombing datacenters stage of this? Luddites would actively go out and destroy factories.

@nixCraft I read the word 2 ways and they both seem to fit.
De-Skilling and Desk-killing.
