More Like Memory Drain

Oh sure, Apple devs, tell me again how it's just a "small memory leak in edge cases." Meanwhile, Calculator is out here PAUSED and still consuming 90.17 GB of RAM like it's trying to calculate the exact number of ways I've been betrayed by my IDE. IntelliJ IDEA is also paused and casually munching on 4.86 GB because apparently even when it's sleeping, it dreams in memory consumption. Docker Desktop? A modest 2.67 GB. PyCharm? Another 2 GB. Clock app using 82 MB just to... tell time? The real tragedy here is that your entire system is having a full-blown existential crisis, throwing up a "Force Quit Applications" dialog like a white flag of surrender. When opening your browser history tab counts as an "edge case" that brings your Mac to its knees, maybe—JUST MAYBE—it's not so small after all. But sure, keep gaslighting us about those "edge cases" while our machines literally run out of memory just existing.
