LLM writing, just infuriating to read.

On the one hand, I would love if more applications moved to native rendering instead of Electron... On the other hand, this is no doubt all vibe coded which I hate. On the third hand I somehow have, what's gonna happen to alternative clients like Vesktop? I hope they'll keep working because everything Discord offers by default is so bad.
How much memory does Discord normally use?
Up to 4 GB based on this article (in French) https://rust.developpez.com/actu/388813/Discord-abandonne-son-application-Electron-basee-sur-le-framework-web-qui-peut-consommer-jusqu-a-4-Go-de-RAM-sous-Windows-11-la-nouvelle-version-reecrite-en-Rust-ne-consomme-quant-a-elle-que-290-Mo/
One of the main benefits to using Discord in a browser is that you can nuke all those dumb popups with uBO. And I have my browser open anyway. Not sure why I'd want the Rust native app. Definitely not sure why I'd want the electron app.
