Funny same thing on jerboa
Same thing on Liftoff.
I think it’s a Lemmy thing, I’m also seeing this on Memmy

Isn’t vscode written in electron?
Electron is fine if it’s optimised which generally doesn’t happen.
#electron does consume quite a bit more ram than it should.
Either way, I don’t really have much of a problem with it.
It does but in exchange devs can make cross-platform applications. I don’t mind using Electron apps unless they’re horribly optimized like Teams used to be some years ago.
Teams is still horribly optimized and barely works though. I love having to restart my computer in order to be able to sign in.
Protip: It’s much faster and more stable when just opened as a webpage in Firefox
I wish. Teams literally says Firefox is not supported and doesn’t allow me to make calls, even though I’m able to join meetings. Teams is a joke.
I also used to have that message but it seems like they’ve got that back in order.
I remember that back then you could download an extension to pretend your user agent was Chrome and Teams would work flawlessly.
It is, which is why I avoid it. The amount of power VSCode consumes vs others is significant. Jetbrains products even have a low power mode which turns off indexing. Can run that thing all day long without plugging in.
I also use Ripcord for slack instead of that electron client.
I always avoid electron apps so I don’t have to have a separate flow when I am on battery vs plugged in.
It’s an easy way to make crossplatform apps with web technologies you already know. I wish there were more efficient alternatives that do it.
Tauri is an option, but it still depends on your OS’ native browser.
Yes! Yes! Fricking yes!
