I'm Glad That RAM Prices Are Crazy - Lemmy.World
Hopefully this will cause the software and game development industry to optimize
their programs as intensly as they did 30 years ago. I assume that upper
management types have largely forgotten the value of having a quality product,
and that subsequently the time allowed for QA and optimization has shrunk in
order to ship the product quicker. The ease of patching has made it worse.
Hoping to see some more competent coding in the future.
I like the idea. Maybe some other kinds of software could use some optimization as well. Like people who use Electron and Flatpak for their desktop software and now my instant messenger uses 1GB of RAM and pulls in 2GB of dependencies on my SSD š
Flatpak needs a local pool file location so that if 2, 3, or more apps require the same software (same version x.x.3) we can have a single instance of it. Iām pretty sure back in the early 00s if I installed 3 apps and they all had the same dependencies the dependencies would only be installed once for all 3 and accessed by them, could be wrong as I am getting to the āGet off my lawn, you damn kidsā stage of life
