@ilobmirt yess it was! I’m typing this on my new computer right now and everything runs so much better; it’s crazy

I got scared for a little while because it wouldn’t turn on, but that’s because I forgot to plug in the CPU power lol

I see why most people don’t care whether something is electron or not lol - Discord isn’t even that bad anymore when it was fucking painful before. like 200ms jittery input lag just to scroll up a page

@kasdeya Hardware has certainly come a long way in 20 years but I sure still do appreciate those tight and efficient apps made like they belong 20 years ago

@ilobmirt huge same omg. apparently we have a lot more compute now but that doesn’t mean we should just waste it on shitty unoptimized UI code lol

@kasdeya And this is why it gets accused of gratuitously encouraging the e-waste churn.
