If there's any upside to the entire situation, it's that perhaps, maybe, developers will again start paying more attention to optimization instead of just throwing more powerful hardware at it.

Some of the greatest games ever developed for consoles were great because the developers had to get extremely creative with the limited resources at their disposal. This led to some incredibly optimized games that could do a whole lot with those very limited resources.

Best I can do is mandatory Lumen and Nanite. You can get almost-stable 60 fps on a 5090 with DLSS Performance and 3x frame gen, which should be optimized enough for anyone.

My game will sell for 80 bucks, 150 if you want the edition with all the preorder-exclusive content.

180 if you want to play before the day one patch that makes sure you’re can even finish the game.

Or you can wait two weeks and get it for 10 because the reviews were so bad we‘re happy to move any copies at all.

I hate that I know what game this is referencing

I don't. Because there are dozens if not hundreds that match the description.

I always care about how much memory I end up using.
Problem is, most places won't pay for caring about that. Those that would, are doing so because they are using the product on their own systems instead of some customer's systems.

I think we will first see a batch of alternative apps, which either will get shut down by manufacturers etc., or get tolerated as an alternative.

I'm not sure I know many Electron apps that are worth running.
There is WhatsApp, but I just run the browser version. For Matrix, there's NeoChat, which uses QML and is definitely better than Electron.

I think spotify / discord / vscode (and derivatives) / slack are probably the most installed electron apps.

A lot of pretty popular packages in those lists are electron apps, unfortunately

dude just fuckin

 curl --data-ram @ram https://downloadmoreram.com/release/20.1

[-] alk@lemmy.blahaj.zone 1 points 19 minutes ago

back in the day people would download more ram and put it on giant tape-based backup systems. Big companies started downloading massive amounts of high quality ram this way. This created a ram shortage, and companies like corsair are now using their massive reserves of downloaded ram and filling empty ram sticks with them and making lots of money. That's why ram is so expensive today. Any ram you can download today is low quality ram, and the only high quality ram can be had on physical sticks, which were filled by the companies with ram reserves. 1969 was the peak of the ram harvesting, so you'll probably get some really great ram if it came from that year.

until curl rewrites in electon and you don't have enough ram to run it anymore

according to string theory, you can see the string that started the universe with

cat ~/.zsh_history | head -n 1

[-] cupcakezealot@piefed.blahaj.zone 2 points 49 minutes ago

switch it to bash_history to see the real big bang

[-] OpenStars@piefed.social 1 points 1 hour ago

But what if I want more RAM while I am waiting for my additional RAM to download?

[-] alias_qr_rainmaker@lemmy.world 5 points 58 minutes ago

await new Promise({of: "ram"})

[-] Samskara@sh.itjust.works 17 points 40 minutes ago

Spotify using several processes and GB of memory just play some music and browse a library is an abomination. WinAMP did most of that 20 years ago while using a fraction of the resources.

Discord similarly is an affront.
