Is this really happening? Are we really going to let web script babies ruin desktop and mobile with their shit fucking code and snowflake embedded Chrome engine?

What I hate the most about this universal javascript trend is they use the same fucking icon in Electron, React and Atom.

Good job guy

>hardware acceleration should make things worse I'll try this, but seriously, this STILL shows how shit Electron is and how bad it is to let web devs loose on the desktop.

Doesn't discord have API
Write your own programme

Even if it runs at 100% it should still be within it's safe operating parameters for an unlimited amount of time.
Yeah it's terrible code, but overheating shouldn't be an actual issue.
why does a chat program need gpu acceleration? wtf?!
Lincoln Edwards
Who wants to listen to their fans at max or burn through their battery? How much money did Discord throw at this? How many devs? How much time? What not just fucking do it right?
And why would GPU make things worse? The GPU should be MORE efficient for any given graphics operation than the CPU.

Oiy vey! It sounds like your i7 isn't up to the task of modern computing. Luckily for you, I have the thing to fix that up.

>chat client built on untold layers of web cancer electron is an instance of nodejs hosting embedded chromium browsers - there's one lot of javashit doing the main application logic and another running within each embedded browser carrying on as if it's a normal web page loaded in chrome
