Mas tem alguma religião recebendo essas pessoas?

Dá tristeza ver essas notícias…

E pior, o modo como o whatsapp funciona incentiva esse tipo de coisa. Se aproveitam da falta de conhecimento das pessoas, oferecem uma forma supostamente simples de fazer as coisas, e se passam como um avanço tecnológico, mas fazem com que as pessoas percam conhecimento da tecnologia e passem a só saber usar o produto whatsapp, e aí ganham um monopólio cruel. O povo não sabe enviar mensagens, avisos, arquivos, fotos, conversar em grupo, em vídeo, etc. Só sabem usar whatsapp e mais alguns outros apps que usam a mesma técnica.

Uso pra me sentir menos isolado da humanidade

I use several, but the ones that I consider to be basic functions are caffeine, tray icons, places status indicator, removable drive menu and extended volume indicator. That last one is a nice example of my frustration, because it can’t be installed on the current gnome version anymore, and having to open settings to switch my audio output is terrible. Every distro upgrade have been the same experience, and I lose some functionality

Long time Gnome user here: I like the general Gnome simplicity of use and workflow and got used to it, but I’m really tired of having to install extensions for very basic things, and of it messing all my extensions on each version upgrade, so I have to reinstall everything. I started experimenting with KDE, and looking forward to cosmic.

Content is also getting heavier, but both things aren’t mutually exclusive. It’s more objective to compare modern software, instead of older and newer ones. Before reddit created obstacles for third-party apps, they were famous for being much lighter than the official one, while doing the same (some even had more features). Now, if we compare lemmy to reddit, it’s also much lighter, while providing a very similar experience. Telegram has a desktop app that does everything the web version does, and more, while lighter on resources. Most linux distros will work fine with far less hardware resources than windows. If you install lineageos on an older phone, it will perform better than the stock rom, even while using a newer aosp version. If you play a video on youtube, and the same one on vlc, vlc will do the same with less resources. If you use most sites with and without content blockers, the second one will be lighter, while not losing anything important.

I could go on and on, but that’s enough examples. There is a bloat component to software getting heavier, and not everything can be explained by heavier content and more features.

Será que eu conseguiria se fizesse uma capacitação?

That’s not bloat, that’s people running more apps than ever.

Not necessarily. People used to write text documents while looking for references on the internet, listening to music and chatting with friends at the same time in 2010, and even earlier, but the same use case (office suite+browser+music payer+chat app) takes much more resources today, with just a small increase in usability and features.

Bloat is a complicated thing to discuss, because there’s no hard definition of it, and each person will think about it in a different way, so what someone can consider bloat, someone else may not, and we end up talking about different things. You’re right that hardware resources have been increasing in a slower rate, and it may force some more optimizations, but a lot of software are still getting heavier, without bringing new functionalities.

Tem uns apps que permitem instalar uma distro linux dentro do android. Funcionaria, mas não sei se o desempenho seria bom.

De qualquer forma, será que vale a pena tentar isso se você já não tiver uma box dessas no canto? Se for pra gastar dinheiro, tem uns mini pcs da soyo no aliexpress custando 200 e poucos já com imposto, tem placas orange pi saindo por uns 120, e tem a opção de pcs antigos, como já comentaram.

To add to your comment, there’s also the corp’s willingness to make things more precarious, as long as it gets cheaper to run and people keep consuming, so the situation might be even worse. In your uber example, they could simply not care for the 5%, stop providing them the service and go full self-driving.

First of all, 350MB is a drop in a bucket

People don’t run just a single app in their machines. If we triple ram usage of several apps, it results in a massive increase. That’s how bloat happens, it’s a cumulative increase on everything. If we analyze single cases, we could say that they’re not that bad individually, but the end result is the necessity for a constant and fast increase in hardware resources.

It sure is. I’m running ferdium at this very moment with 3 chat apps open, and it consumes almost a gigabyte for something that could take just a few megabytes.

Now let me present you the laptops with 2GB of RAM still being sold here in Brazil: https://www.zoom.com.br/notebook/notebook-multilaser-legacy-cloud-pc132-intel-atom-x5-z8350-14-2gb-windows-10-bluetooth

Ao mesmo tempo, 82% consideram a democracia o melhor sistema, o que não é compatível com as respostas dessa outra pergunta. Suspeito é que nosso povo tem muitas ideias em conflito e pensamentos inconsistentes, o que é um forte indício de manipulação da opinião pública.

Aproveitando, tenho visto em comunidades gringas o pessoal esculhambando ele, dizendo que ele é uma pessoa horrível. Alguém sabe dizer se isso é verdade, ou se foi propaganda estadounidense que deu certo?

Já pensei nisso, mas fiquei com medo de terem bootloader bloqueado que nem celular. Fico receosocom qualquer dispositivo que vem com Android.

I also prefer to get my software from the distro’s repos, but for software from third parties, flatpak adds a security layer, making it more secure when compared, for example, to aur.

Do you have access to a computer with an sd card reader? I believe the best and safest thing to do is to connect it to a computer, create disk image from it and try ro use a data recovery tool in the image file.

Edit: if you only have the phone, maybe you could try looking for apps to copy a disk image from the sd card and to recover data or try using some terminal emulator or one of those apps that install a linux distro inside android to use the dd command and then use testdisk and photorec tools. I recommend the second option, because the tools are open sourc and well tested
