    most phones will just struggle to record and process audio indeterminately without a noticeable impact on energy and data use.

    I mean, it’s still a valid concern for a commoner. Why my phone has twice the ram and twice the cores and is as slow as my previous one? I’d love to fuel this conspiracy into OS, app makers to do their fucking job.

    There’s no reason an app can weight more than 50mb on clean install*, and many socials, messengers fail to fit in. A client I use to write this is only 30+, and that’s one person doing that for donations.

    If there could be a raging theory that apps are selling your data to, like, China, there would be a push to decline it and optimize apps to fit that image.

    * I obviously exclude games, synths, editors of any kind with their textures and templates.

      The filesize of most binaries is dominated by text strings and images. Modern applications are loaded with them. Lemmy is atypical in that it doesn’t need tons of built in images or text.
