Yeah, how dare those pesky businesses exist and try to make money.

... you can install apps on Mac without going through the App Store.

You could not be farther from the truth. Gitlab is an improvement on Github in every way, they offer a suite of features that Github doesn't have that are only available through third party connections.

Gitlab is not a Github clone.

You're paying for iTunes Match, which is a different service than Apple Music.

I used to work stock at a bunch of retail stores for a decade and could see what percentage the markup was. It was almost never above 20%, and usually closer to 3-5%.

lol, not sure why I'd want to engage with someone who thinks stealing is fine.

Read all the other comments.

Your comment isn't obvious as to which side you're on, so I'll repeat the same thing just in case:

Not paying for the right to use something is theft of goods and services.

You're not paying for the right to use something. That is theft of goods and services.

Yes... it is. You're not paying for the right to use something. That is theft of goods and services.

I can't believe I have to say this to an adult, but:

No, that does not mean you can steal.

What I was seeing was the same in both cases. Firefox would be using the same amount of RAM either running by itself or alongside Ableton Live (and the performance of Ableton Live would suffer).

OP here on this comment chain.

I'm a front end and back end developer that uses multiple libraries and tech stacks and need to find answers to stuff immediately. I leave them open as a resource while I'm working, which may be on multiple things at once. In addition, I have mail, messaging, music, and other work-related things open in the browser.

It's really one of the only features that matters.
