@ryo @Misato I used Pidgin initially because I'm a boomer, and it turns out that it was leaking all of my RAM, so I switched to Gajim because it was the most recommended, so probably the most reliable, but then it broke on an update and even rolling back didn't make it work again, so I switched to Profanity. Fuck Python, by the way. Gajim took like, 30 seconds to open. No hyperbole, I know because of my password manager deleting the password from the clipboard after 30 seconds.

And I always have a massive amount of things open, because I am always finding more stuff that I'm interested in than I can possibly keep up with even watching videos at double speed and reading things pretty fast. I keep almost everything inactive with stuff like auto tab discard, but it still uses a bunch of resources anyway. And I have no way to actually organize and manage my stuff, but I end up with multiple browser windows open and extra windows use an absurd amount of RAM. I had multiple browser profiles for different things too, but a really major one broke for no reason, so now I only have one, so it's easier to keep things backed up.

Web browsers are horrible. They are not made for people like me at all. They are made for people that only do one thing at a time (and even then waste a massive amount of resources) and that don't have multiple strong interests. They are made for people with slow single-core brains and very little RAM, not for people with 30 interests and 200 things that they want to remember to do and that have a dozen thoughts going on in their heads almost at all times. These programs are not designed to organized for that.

They don't have the performance either, they can't keep up with me. It also doesn't help that there is something cursed about me, which is that I crash almost all programs that I use. If you give me a program and it can be crashed, I probably will do it somehow.
