Ah, yes, the old "blame the user" approach ๐ค. Apparently, if your AI coding assistant fails, it's not because it's a glorified parrot ๐ฆ, but because you're not whispering the right sweet nothings into its mechanical ear. Remember folks, it's not the AI's fault, it's yours for not being a certified prompt whisperer ๐

And then Farooq finds out tons of LibreWolf processes, consuming together much of the RAM...
Finally the death knocks the door of one of processes.
Farooq feels a relief. RAM usage is back to normal.
