A small conversation with Copilot makes my laptop choke on RAM, and that stuff is processed on cloud. No way I will allow Microsoft to run an AI locally.

They probably mean the majority of people, not 4070 Ti owners. For them, buying that 4070 Ti would be a better choice already.

It was basically a faster 7 (also less hungry). Universally hated Metro stuff can be get rid of easily. Plus it had better forward compatibility - I could run some apps that said to require windows 10 which I knew didn’t work on 7.

Worse. Steam is basically built on top of CEF, which is not much better than Electron.

It’s amazing how deep Chromium (and web tech in general) got into everything. Microsoft - which I regarded for how light and well optimized Windows 8.1 was - went from using Chromium for Edge to using it basically everywhere. Latest observation is how you open Copilot app, chat a little and see how it eats 4 GB of RAM and lags like hell, on a higher end business laptop.

It’s arch…

Yeah but its downside right now is that it doesn’t really support latest tech, since it is not based on latest Linux. Wish they would change that because I seriously consider SteamOS for my next gaming PC.

I can’t call ethical an app that relies on Electron.

Wish they could use Gemini to generate ad clicks instead.

…Electron inside.

Still unable to sort episodes by alphabetic file names?

I only mean that the requirements are high enough for someone to stop using it at some point, losing users of that server in the process. It might be different if it didn’t require running a server. Or they could choose to host their rooms on some existing server, I guess.

I’ll think about if they also somehow prohibit 3rd party clients from removing that AI garbage.

I really need some free time in my life to try those arrs with unraid, and telegram bots too…

Pretty much yes. It has channels so there are news channels, personal channels etc. At some point when I discovered Twitter for myself I hated it so much for not being able to simply read subscribed accounts just like telegram does it. It’s too convenient as a feeds app.

My biggest gripe with it is about electron. I refuse to keep it running on my PC. Even the damned Whatsapp converted to something better.

Seems like you have to keep something running for it to work. Some obscure service relied on it as a support channel and last thing I remember is that matrix server stopped working. Though it would help so much if it would be p2p.
