    Since you tagged @realitista@lemm.ee I'll do the same so they see my counter...argument?

    In it's first release(2017) it was 50.3MB.

    In Nov, 2024, it was 340MB. Oct, 2024, 327MB

    6th Jan, 2024: 266MB
    24th Oct, 2023: 229MB
    21st Oct, 2023: 180MB
    30th Jul, 2023: 214MB
    23rd Jun, 2023: 196MB

    This is a very active project, things are added constantly, then optimised or tweaked or removed. Going through the releases it looks like their install packages get bigger over the span of a few months, then through optimisation gets shrunk down again. The above numbers are only for the windows full install package, but all their different packages have a very similar pattern of bloat followed by trimming. I don't see how this is weird at all.

    What about this is actually concerning for you?
