ah today’s young ones…

Thanks.
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I hate Android!⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

the question is: why do two, not even three, apps consume all of the 4gb?

Mozilla had to fire a big part of their browser engineering team to raise the salary of their CEO. That’s how FF is less optimized.

I would definitely buy a Jolla Phone or it would work in the US.

It should work there. The problem for you would be no direct shipping to the US.
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I hate Android!⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

I remember even my Win98 machine had to have 16GB of RAM or couldn’t get anything done.

Try to get a modern web browser working on your Win98 machine. The problem is modern web browsers eating RAM, not Android.
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I hate Android!⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

But seriously, I’ve got an old laptop still in use and that’s getting along fine on 4 GB. Firefox, KDE, Libre Office, background tasks, some light gaming, no problem.

Let me guess: That old laptop has a swap file or partition?

If you dislike Android so much, get commerce.jolla.com/…/jolla-phone-october-2026 Should pair well with your new >1000 Euro Steam Machine.
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I hate Android!⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

using Android doesn’t have to mean it’s smart to go into intentional denial of a long list of shit that sucks, just to be a fanboy.

No OS can do magic and turn 4GB RAM into a suitable amount for memory hungry modern web browsers.
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I hate Android!⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

Although I am mildly infuriated that you hate Android

OP uses 4GB RAM but blames the OS.
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I hate Android!⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

I disable power management on the apps I use often and never run into the issue.

Power management does nothing when RAM is as constrained as 4GB
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I hate Android!⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

Android also doesn’t use swap

Years ago a friend of mine actually enabled swap on a MicroSD. It worked, no idea for how long, though. That type of memory isn’t reliable enough to handle this.
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I hate Android!⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

But that said: I would love to replace it all with a true Linux phone.

4GB RAM, a modern web browser, and no swap file/partition. That doesn’t work well anywhere. Not Android, not GNU/Linux, not Windows, not macOS.
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I hate Android!⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

I’ve got 4 GB of RAM and multiple CPU cores. That should be enough to run a dozen apps in parallel.

In which world is 4GB enough to multitask a web browser under any OS?

Except it’s wishful thinking because nobody wants to actually pay for any kind of infrastructure.

Tech workers

I don’t. No that this has to be true for others but I use the command line for ping, ipconfig, and winget.
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨roll for perception⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

Well who uses powershell? Common people open command prompt and it doesn’t support ls.

Windows Terminal defaults to PowerShell since a while.

Cheap Eastern European and Indian coders.
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨roll for perception⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:
ls works on Windows just fine. PowerShell understands this command since a long time, maybe even since the very beginning (not looking through the git commits, just to find out).
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Scan to Verify You're Human⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:
Well, you made a wrong claim that I merely corrected. Watch whatever wherever you want. Doesn’t change the fact that the documentary creators I follow for the vast majority only upload to YouTube and those that also upload to Nebula offer a worse experience there.
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Scan to Verify You're Human⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

you know who else has documentaries?

PBS.

support your local public broadcasting stations, people.

And do you know which documentaries they don’t have? The ones that are uploaded by their creators only to YouTube.

I watch plenty of Arte and I pay the fee but documentaries about video game speedruns etc. simply aren’t on Arte (or PBS or Nebula). I watch those where they are: YouTube.
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Scan to Verify You're Human⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

it’s all crap and mindless shit anyways.

If you click on mindless shit, the algorithm serves you mindless shit. I get documentaries. 🤷
