The template of this meme is that of the man who cheerfully points his hand at a butterfly, asking “Is this a pigeon”?. In this meme, the man has been covered with icons of the applications IntelliJ, VSCode, Chromium and Signal. The butterfly which he points to is overlaid with the caption “.config”. He asks “Is this a trash can?” At the bottom of the image, we see the command du -sh executed on the directories .config/chromium/ and .config/Code, yielding file sizes of 1016M and 83M respectively.
Better than dumping into ~/
Well dont use chrom*
The signal community should band together and write a signal client that doesn’t use the waste of space called electron. There is a rust library for signal and slint for cross platform UIs. Slint is even working (slowly) on mobile targets
There already is one called Flare. It uses rust IIRC.
I use ungoogled chromium, but only for sites that absolutelly don’y wanna work on firefox.
I’m surprised. I haven’t had a website not work with Firefox for a long time. I haven’t even had to install chromium as a backup in almost two years now.
Just yesterday I had shadow.tech’s Cloudflare “vErIFY yOuR hUmAN” fail on me in Firefox. I had fucking paid for a month already otherwise that would have been enough to turn me off.
They are out there. I also have it around for those occasions. More common that you’d expect. Almost always some shitty site needed for work that has problems.
Same but I use Cromite or i try using a electron app (like heroic) on my pc.
Chrom, grant me my RAM…and if you do not listen, then the hell with you!
Firefox saves its config outside of .config/ as well, IIRC. Can’t check now, I have actually put that crappy browser in the trash bin long ago.
I will not take this bait
And what browser are you using?
Usually the shit-talkers use some fork of FF that would last about 5 minutes if FF ceased to exist.
Or fucking Brave, the cryptoscam browser.
Yea, not a huge fan of the push for crypto on brave
IntelliJ IDEA runs on a jvm right not a electron app??
I think it might still be dropping executables in .config, stuff like the JDK or even its own software versions
Ohhh okay, this is what the answer I was looking for.
Yes mostly Java and Kotlin with a combination of Java Swing and Compose for the GUI afaik
I like how electron shit’s “configurations” are also trash
