It's a lot, but I think we've lost that battle and society has collectively decided it's okay to sacrifice untold amounts of storage space in service of things like more stable installations, extra features, etc. It's aesthetically displeasing to install a 10 GB text editor or whatever but I don't think it's generally ideal in application development to optimize for very limited storage on phones either, especially with phone storage presumably just growing bigger over time too.
- eviks 3y agoBut this is not the general battlefield, but a Linux niche one, where the sub-society hasn't collectively made a decision yet
- ben0x539 3y agoThat's fair. I figure a lot of the same design pressures apply though, and of course there's a cost to diverging from what the rest of the world is doing.
