My poor RAM...

Post funny things about programming here! (Or just rant about your favourite programming language.)
Damn, I didn't even think about running Discord in a separate FF instance like that. Been looking for a more privacy focused approach then installing from the .deb. Thanks man!
I use a separate FF profile. It has no addons, apart from Vencord and a custom userChrome.css to hide the top tab bar (as full screening it would obstruct swaybar). I then just made an xdg .desktop entry which opens canary.discord.com with firefox using that profile.
Overall it somehow uses less RAM (albeit with another FF instance open, so maybe some resources are shared) than the official App and all other forks (eg. custom electron version) I looked at. Nearly everything works, but:
Overall all of those problems are a better alternative to the constant flickering that happened with all electron apps on my system if they are not interacted with for a few minutes (eg. by being on another monitor/workspace). That's just distracting as hell and often even breaks functionality. And of course, Nvidia is at fault again. Like for 90% of other problems with my system.
::: spoiler Little rant: Some issues that happen on my Nvidia system (wayland) that are not present on my Dell Laptop w/ Intel HD graphics. I spent hours and days researching those Problems with potential solutions, very few improved some things a bit.
The main thing that keeps me from running messaging applications in the browser is the lack of a tray icon
