Unlike traditional web apps, OneDrive Photos is actually quite well built. It has a Windows 11-like Acrylic design for the context menu and does not take up a huge amount of resources, as RAM usage stays under 1GB

Excuse me, a photo gallery that takes 1gb of RAM, especially in this economy, doesn't seem "quite well built".

This fucking web app wrappers, Picasa had 100x more features while using 50x less resources

It has almost never failed. We added 254092 ifelse statements, ensuring every possible state will be dealt with. It only fails if the user does something unexpected, like clicking too fast. Damn. That makes 254093.

Lol, that's the lede defense.

Yeah 1GB of RAM is completely insane for a photo app, should be like 50MB unless it's actively running face recognition or other ML stuff.
