The moon computer only had to keep track of 3 things to move a spaceship from the earth to the moon.
Chrome has to keep track of thousands of pieces of your personal information to move money from advertisers to Google.
Chrome is the container housing that website the developer decided to include 15 libraries at 50 meg each because he couldn’t be bothered to optimize shit and that’s just “standard” now. Oh and tack on the 15 scripts running to mine your data and load unfiltered ads into your userspace.
Get more ram pleb, it’s cheap… has been the excuse for ages. Makes it easy to ignore the problem.
Don’t get me wrong- chrome is a pig… but in general it’s the dogshit-bad coding and development choices that turn even a small page into a massive footprint.
Exactly. There’s no pressure to optimize when you’ve got spare hardware capacity to play with. Makes for lazy devs.
you get what you put up with
Right… The only scary thing is how stupid this meme is. But it is a meme, so it’s obviously just a joke.
If its so easy you should calculate orbiting trajectories
I did back in college. It’s just algebra.
In 4k of ram?
I don’t believe it’s only chrome’s problem. I’ve noticed that firefox tends to lock all available memory to himself and whenever I need it, bastard just reallocates it into swap, making whole system laggy and slow.
So… I’ve got my foxy friend into a Ram jail for being too hungry:
systemd-run --scope -p MemoryMax=1G --user firefoxGod, I love linux!
Almost like its the websites that are wildly bloated and resource hungry and the browsers are just trying to display them as best they can
I’ve used Firefox in 1gb of ram. It was fine
I use FF on Manjaro and have never noticed a ram problem. I’ve also got it set up on a different virtual linux machine with only 2 gigs of memory and it works fine.
Doom and Doom 2: 16.39 Mb Cod MW 3 campaign: 90 Gb
Ok, now compare texture resolutions and vertex counts.
I watched an amazing documentary on YouTube, made at the time of Apollo 11 that showed how the computers worked. It absolutely blew me away.
The way they did so much with so little was incredible. There was no such thing as flashing firmware to a chip; they hard coded the bits and bytes by hand. BY HAND.
That’s like hiring people to count the grains of sand on a beach. Amazing!
Do you happen to recall the title?
No sorry but if you search for it you’ll find it
That’s like hiring people to count the grains of sand on a beach. Amazing!
no it isn’t… they wove the memory… like weaving
Keep Calm and Disregard the 1202 Alarm.
Clearly they didn’t have enough ram
I’ve never seen this meme before.
One of my college had open 25 tabs and it took 12 GB memory in chrome. And then he switch to edge :))))
Edge, a.k.a. Chrome with extra Microsoft spyware on top.
You should introduce him to smth like LibreWolf instead :)
