  • Sorry for late reply. I just now noticed this.

    The difference would be that a browser would likely have multiple web pages fighting for resources whereas the dedicated client would not have to fight over so many resources.

    The OS has a dedicated task scheduler that alots cpu time to each process. Some processes get preferential treatment, but most processes started on user space ( i.e.double click UI icon) are just “normal” priority.

    When a task scheduler hits on a process, that process can start executing whatever it needs to do. The problem with running discord in a browser is that the application is splitting its attention across multiple pages ( and probably other stuff ) instead of a single page.

    Basically, it’s faster to focus on painting a single canvas than it is to painting 3 at the same time.

    I’m not going to discuss shared memory and separate processes or forking. You can goggle search if you want to know more about that.





  • Anybody feel free to correct me. I’m going off memory here.

    TL;DR

    Adam Kovic (right, in video): sexual allegations. Many statements are more circumspect for Adam than Ryan.

    Ryan Haywood (not in video): secretly slept with fans. One was 17, though he thought she was 18. So, more sexual allegations.

    Both were fired around the same time. Both were already married.

    LONGER ANSWER

    Yeah, video aged like milk. It goes back to Ryan Haywood and Adam Kovic (guy to the right) getting booted from Roosterteeth (Ryan Haywood) and Fun Haus (Adam Kovic). I think Fun Haus is a subsidiary of Roosterteeth, but definitely owned in someway by that company.

    Ryan Haywood slept around with fans, including an underage girl (17, he thought she was 18). He was already married btw.

    Adam Kovic took nudes of himself in the office. The funhaus and Roosterteeth statements about him were more circumspect, so not much more was said. This left people guessing if he cheated on his wife with fans or released nude photos of her, etc. Whatever the case, he was let go.


  • I had a feature request come down the pipeline that said, “We need this computer to send a notification out to other nodes on the network in the event it loses power.”

    I thought it was just a poorly worded health polling feature. I was wrong. They literally wanted a dead computer to send out a message.

    It took me asking them to send me a text message after turning off their phones before they realized the issue.
