Yeah, modern software towers of libraries literally eat memory.

MS Teams uses around 1000MB of RAM to do exactly the same things that Microsoft Messenger could do in 8MB.

Also 12 processes right now on my mac for some reason.

It's haaard to do state machines.

Can you shed more light on this? You are saying that more processes help avoid figuring out correct state logic? Howso?
This is not HPC, they don't need to 100% use all cores.

If they knew how to do a state machine, a glorified chat app needs how many threads? Maybe 4: UI, network, audio, video. And the last 2 are only needed during calls.

They have 12 just because they don't know to do better.

Btw with teams (the application) off there's a com.microsoft.teams2.agent there anyway. What's it for, spyware?
