Each electron app has its own Chromium runtime. With the prevalence of electron apps, the result is multiple instances of chromium running on your machine. Chromium isn’t light weight. On top of that, there is the philosophical aspect. Do we really need to be shipping an entire browser for the purpose of creating a UI? That being said I understand why so many electron apps are created. HTML/JS/CSS are powerful and easy to use (IMO) and cross platform. I just try to avoid them and use alternatives to electron.

Why can't code be uncompiled?

Here is a real world example of someone doing some reverse engineering of compiled code. Might help you understand what is possible, and some of the processes. https://nee.lv/2021/02/28/How-I-cut-GTA-Online-loading-times-by-70/

Why does hosting Lemmy require a display?
I think there is some info missing. You’re using SSH to access the server where you are running the docker image? Why does your server have X server installed?
I have no experience running Lemmy. It could be the Lemmy instance includes X server to run some kind of GUI? Seems strange.

You could create a Python script to do this. There is a library called psutil that would help. Basically,
Would be a fun little project even for a beginner I think.

Artifacts on Chromium in Pop!_OS
I saw something similar to this on an intel Mac running canary years back. I believe toggling GPU acceleration in the settings resolved the issue.

Haha, indeed. I was giving a satirical take of how many older people feel. It’s hard to have your independence taken away from you.

Startup/New Device battery drain in iP15 Pro
I have a 15 pro and don’t think I experienced this. I know that photos on a Mac will run in the background, scanning your photos for faces and objects. That could be what happened, along with some other indexing. Surprised it occurred while on battery though. I wouldn’t worry about it unless it consistently happens.

Just get the Pixel 8. Sometimes you have to pay a premium. A bird in the hand is better than a bird in the bush (a used phone you will have to find).

Once They Were Pets. Now Giant Goldfish Are Menacing the Great Lakes.
Good use of AI + drones. Identification and eradication of invasive species. Sounds dystopian when I type it out, especially once AI identifies humans as invasive.
