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.
If you have Spotify Premium, try a third party client. Even GUI clients like Spotify-qt are memory light [though not at feature parity] whilst terminal clients like ncspot, spotify-player take 1/10th the memory. The latter even supports Spotify connect.
Same here. At first, I thought I was going to get a better Discord experience with the dedicated ‘app’. Nope. Another web app crammed into Electron, multiplying the overall browser footprint on my system. It now happily lives on in a normal browser tab where my ad blockers and user-scripts claw back local control of things.

Discord similarly is an affront.
don’t worry, this will all be solved now with incompetent vibe-coders, just give it a while
or you will look back to this with a nostalgic tear in the eye. one of these.

Thank you for his hint.
I run those thing in the browser, where they belong.
If you have premium, there’s probably a better native client.

I hate Discord passionately. I miss the days of Mumble + IRC
IRC was great, but it failed to progress meaningfully.
Except for needing bnc to keep your nick on some networks, it works very well imo
