🚮 Modern web bloat means some pages load 21MB of data - entry-level phones can't run some simple web pages, and some sites are harder to render than PUBG
I so much wish the goals for software were performance first, then features.
It's so hard to understand that apps are over ~100.000.000 bytes heavy when my first hard drive was ~20.000.000 bytes (where I had a hundred programs, including drawing and animation apps) and my first computer had 3.583 bytes of RAM free.
Slack is 289 million bytes. Mostly to share a sentence of text. I just can't
@gone Hello from Kbin! To my understanding, changing OS to something like #GrapheneOS is probably better and more secure than just removing all the bloat from the system, since you can't actually delete to a 100% all the proprietary components from #Google and your manufacture without breaking your phone, as far as I know, graphene has features that no other ROM nor #AOSP have which are better for privacy, and treats all the apps as equal for better security.
TheHatedOne (youtube) has a series of videos about grapheneOS that may have the answer you want.
But in my opinion, deleting all the #bloat with adb is better than nothing, so, you are good to go, more if you can't afford to buy a pixel, #android has a good sandbox for apps AFAIK.
After all, I recommend you to use a firewall like NetGuard to block everything by default and just allowing a few apps of your choice, or TrackerControl to again, block everything, but to block trackers from apps you allowed to connect to the internet.
There is so much bloat in the #MacOs these days. All these apps should be optional downloads. But they aren't. They sit there, never being used with regular updates being pushed, taking up resources. For example my Mac doesn't have a camera, so why does my OS have #Facetime? #software#bloat
I’m glad I never got on the npm train. For websites, It always seemed more fragile and complex than the old method. And the casual ease of initial use seemed likely to encourage lazy assessment and inclusion of bad code. https://social.lol/@bw/111293266036805485
