I’m not an expert on these matters, so probably have this all wrong, but I saw someone on Mastodon yesterday lamenting that he has to bump the RAM on older computers purely because the web has got so bloated with java everywhere, and that made me angry, because my old, perfectly good Mac mini has 8gb of soldered RAM and work I need to do in Google Docs frequently takes up a huge chunk of that.
