Cut Meta some slack. They’re not Nvidia. They’re only a $1.5T company. They can’t make everything native.
hahah, 1.5T ! peons !
And they sell laptops with 4 GB RAM and pre-installed Windows 11 here. No idea how they work. :)
They don’t!
A friend told me they had a laptop that just suddenly stopped working and took forever to boot up.
Turns out it was a W10 laptop and it prompted them to install Windows 11 which basically made it non functional. Took 10+ minutes to boot and could barely open a single browser window. I installed Linux and suprise surprise the laptop worked perfecly fine.
No surprise there!
Then they sell useless OOTB laptops. Those laptops desperately need Linux (or BSD).
Tip: you can use the WhatsApp web site for text messaging (I don’t think it works for audio/video?) and if you want to use it in a standalone window you can “install” it as a web app (in most browsers). It’ll use way less RAM running in your existing browser than running a separate electron instance.
It’s called enshittification for sure.
It’s beyond that. It’s surveillance software
This could mean great news to Linux WhatsApp users.
There are so many better alternatives than both meta and windows. It’s enshitification personified.
open us up to do calls from the webview then, so i can do it in linux too.
Can’t get upset if I never used WhatsApp.
TBH that happens when there is enough RAM available. I’d be surprised if the usage didn’t
getgo down under memory pressure.Are there seriously anyone in here, that uses WhatsApp? If so, please revise your life…
Said like a truly ignorant person. There are countries where work teams discuss almost everything on WhatsApp. My mom is a teacher, and all communication regarding work that doesn’t justify an entire official mail happens on whatsapp. Literally everyone’s on whatsapp. Also, it’s not really that hard to just use whatsapp on the web.
Oh, you are truly ignorant - sorry to hear that.
Literally everyone I know, is not on WhatsApp… And most of those I have known to use it, don’t anymore… Why would you, really? You do know that change start with you, right? Or are you too ignorant to know that?
