Spotify using several processes and GB of memory just play some music and browse a library is an abomination. WinAMP did most of that 20 years ago while using a fraction of the resources.

Discord similarly is an affront.

I hate Discord passionately. I miss the days of Mumble + IRC

IRC was great, but it failed to progress meaningfully.

Except for needing bnc to keep your nick on some networks, it works very well imo
