https://www.pcworld.com/article/3005317/discord-admits-windows-11-app-hogs-ram-tries-solving-it-with-auto-restarts.html

Why does this happen?
>>
>>107527708
window 11 is so amazing
>>
>>107527708
Explorer in win11 doesn't show you details about selected video files if you select more that 5 or 6 iirc. This used to work in win10 perfectly. How the fuck did they fuck this thing up? I hope this is one of those iterqtions of bad windows good Windows, because there are no video editing apps for Linux that do the job professionally.
>>
amazing what technology in 2025 can do
no one bothers with finding the root cause, just restart the thing
who knows how many important servers out there just have a crontab with a scheduled restart command
who cares, just restart it bro
>>
>>107527708
Probs dynamically allocating memory, and not freeing it again. Repeatedly.

Good grief, will they do this for Boeing aircrafts next?

Why are you even using your personal computer for professional work? You should have a dedicated work machine. It's better for security and productivity
>>
>>107527708
in the biz we call this technique "vibe coders in action"
>>
>>107527708
Average electron experience
>>
>>107527708

As you read stuff it consumes RAM. It doesn’t know how to release it I guess.
>>

Somehow I doubt that given the amount of jeets they've been hiring. Windoze is done for.
>no video editing apps for Linux
What the fuck are you talking about? Davinci Resolve is miles ahead of shitty premiere (given that you arent a hollyjew using avid or some other shit)
>>
>>107528752
>in the biz
Listen up nigger (back to r*****). The whole "vibe coder" phenomenon is jewtube jargon coined and shilled by NPCattle khantent kreators. A more neutral term paid for by gAI companies to make it sound more hip to the absolure morons taking it seriously (like yourself). So wither get witj the business or get out

>>107528890
Srsly why not just write desktop apps in C#?
>>
>>107529430
It's cheaper/easier to just write HTML, CSS, and JS, then use that for your UI. So that way, you only have to pay a single UI team, instead of needing a custom UI and possibly API for each platform.

Why did they replace win10 explorer at all? It was good, and didn't feel dated in any way I can think of.
>>
>>107527708
Why are they talking about Windows 11 specifically, isn't this just because Discord is chromium under the hood? chromium being a ram hog has always been an issue
>>
>>107529822
surprisingly chromium in a browser tab is more efficient and doesn't leak memory like a sieve. Maybe Electron is just pure shit.

fuck knows what ungodly retardation Electron is pulling but in any case, while windows 11 is dogshit, I don't see how discord's ram usage is more of an issue on windows 11
>>
>>107527708
this is what happens when you let jeets code
>>
>>107527708
look mom i posted it again

>>107527708
Is it only on Pajeetosoft 11? kek
>>
>>107528182
freeing it again. Repeatedly.
I think this is them not freeing the hundreds of images and videos rendered after they are not in the viewport anymore, is just like loading a big PDF, you only store in memory the pages the users are reading instead of keeping every page in memory. Reestarting the application will free the resources and only load the recent ones, stupid and lazy fix.
>>
>>107527708
what app, just use it in the browser and close the tab
>>
>>107529341
Actually that question was meant to more ask why Discord's software development allowed this to be the solution...
>>
>>107527708

>>107529344
DaVinci Resolve is used more than any Adobe software in Hollywood as well.
>>
>>107530829
>stupid and lazy fix
That shit probably has the curriest any code can be, so they for goddamn sure thought that it was easier to just add a restart rather than spend a month fixing the issue.
Plus, isn't discord just fucking electron in the end?
How could they fuck up a simple website so much?
>>
>>107527708
Reminds me of how Morrowind on the original Xbox would reboot the entire Xbox during every loading screen. The player would never notice this as it wouldn't disturb the frame buffer.
>>
I just checked, and Discord is currently taking up 1.3GB of RAM for me, lmao. We are so fucked.

>only happens to Discord
>BRO ITS TOTALLY A WIN11 ISSUE, JUST TRUST ME

For color grading.
In features it's Avid. For TV spots it's Premiere.
Color in Baselight or Resolve.
Finished in Flame.
No one edits in Resolve besides YouTubers.

Isn't this more of an Electron issue rather than a Windows 11 one?
>>
>>107530829
>>107528182
It's an electron app.
>>
>>107528287
This is a joke right? Everyone knows that's been official policy for at least a decade.
>>
>>107533896
You're wrong, gay and stupid.

>The Discord app’s memory usage is typically around 1GB, but due to the way the underlying Electron app framework works and how it’s implemented, the app’s memory usage can quickly balloon out of control as more servers and features are loaded.

A fucking chat client, something we solved decades ago.

PM has to have something on the slides at the end of the quarter so her boss doesn't lay her off.

If you don't like that install Linux and use PCmanFM

Try downgrading Windows to Windows 10
>>
>>107528640
Windows 7 file explorer on a core2duo and HDD is faster than any hardware using Windows 10 or 11.
>>
Everyone became stupid and antisocial ever since the internet and smartphones came along. It takes decades to see the effects and now it starts to reveal itself. People have been saying this for every time span, but the types of technology and economic incentives we deal with have become a lot more sinister. People with proper cognitive abilities wouldn't work for microsoft or hammer & chisel corp.
