Funny same thing on jerboa
Same thing on Liftoff.
I think it’s a Lemmy thing, I’m also seeing this on Memmy

Isn't vscode written in electron?
Electron is fine if it's optimised which generally doesn't happen.
#electron does consume quite a bit more ram than it should.
Either way, I don't really have much of a problem with it.
It is, which is why I avoid it. The amount of power VSCode consumes vs others is significant. Jetbrains products even have a low power mode which turns off indexing. Can run that thing all day long without plugging in.
I also use Ripcord for slack instead of that electron client.
I always avoid electron apps so I don't have to have a separate flow when I am on battery vs plugged in.

Yes! Yes! Fricking yes!
Yess exactly. Don't wanna have multiple browsers each eating 4GB ram
Multiple Chromium browsers that probably send telemetry to Google, no less.
I'd be slightly less hateful of Electron if it used a non-Google engine, but alas Chrome is the new 90's Internet Explorer and everyone needs to bend over backwards to it.
Netscape Navigator gang rise up!
