    @jzb @glyph I don't even entirely disagree, but I think it's also worth playing the ball where it lands: regardless of why Apple did this, what are the implications of them having done so?

    @xgranade @glyph I hope it does encourage app developers to think about constrained resources, of course. That would be all to the good.

    The current RAMpocylpse should be an incentive as well… I’m so glad that I maxed out my main systems more than a year ago.

      @jzb @glyph The problem with the RAMpocylpse (a wholly manufactured crisis, I hasten to add) is that there's still a bunch of machines out there with a lot more RAM, so developers can keep kicking the can down the road. If Apple moves a whole bunch of Neos, though, that winds up pressing the issue.

        @dalias @xgranade Yeah, emacs has always been ... heavy.

        But it's also basically just a lisp OS. I've literally used it as a terminal emulator, browser, text editor, word processor, spreadd sheet, and email client... simultaneously.
        And it doesn't seem to have gotten noticably heavier in the last couple decades, it's gotten to the point where I can't even really make fun of it for bloat anymore.

        @miss_rodent @xgranade That's the thing - at the time it was very heavy, but it's remained pretty much exactly the same weight for 3 decades while everything else grew to consume everything Moore's law gave it.
