Exactly. I force-quit apps for privacy reasons, not because I believe I'm better than software at memory-management and caching.
I realized how sad that statement is just as I was writing it. Our phones do not belong to us; they belong to the companies releasing the software that runs on them.
- MiddleEndian 9y agoHonestly given that operating systems will frequently leave frozen apps running and have to prompt users to know whether to quit them (and in the case of Windows then prompt you some more for fun), or allow random background tasks to continue, I am definitely convinced that at the macro level, I am better at memory management than software is.
