I doubt that’s true at all. For starters 2GB ram is unusable if you want to have multiple tabs with resource heavy sites like YT open
> This planet cannot support many GBs for every human
Why? I’m pretty sure it can
- usr1106 3y agoGoogle is a major lead for destroying the planet. Ads waste incredible resources at the edge and in the cloud. 99% completely useless because people just hate them. And the remaining less than 1% even more harmful, manipulating people to buy nonsense products nobody needs. So yes I occasionally watch a Youtube video if it seems really useful. But that's not a tab I would keep open a second longer than absolutely needed.
- ffgjgf1 3y agoPerhaps. You’re certainly not describing the behavior of 99% of internet users who don’t really care that much about these things > Google is a major lead for destroying the planet. Depends on how you define “major”. It’s still relatively insignificant

- anthk 3y ago2GB of RAM are perfectly usable with ZRAM and UBlock Origin.
- tetris11 3y agoI have an aging 1.3GB smartphone running a modern Lineage OS, and it does many things surprisingly well - even runs a VPN in the background whilst surfing with Mull/Firefox. One limitation I often encounter is that a site with lots of HD XL images, or JS demos with 3D libraries force a lot of background apps to be killed. In most cases this is also fine, but keeping a VPN alive whilst browsing media heavy sites is becoming a factor that I'm thinking of retiring this beloved phone
- walteweiss 3y agoWhat model do you have? It looks old, as just 1.3 Gb (why is 1.3, and not 1.5 or 2, weird number), but modern OS. I have a Nexus 6P, 3 Gb of ram and is still relatively snappy, but stuck on an obsolete OS (Android 8, and LineageOS is the same) quite forever.
- tetris11 3y agoI was rounding down, it's actually 1.4GB (according to 'free -h') but advertised as 1.5GB. https://m.gsmarena.com/samsung_galaxy_a3_(2016)-7791.php https://m.gsmarena.com/samsung_galaxy_a3_(2016)-7791.php Currently runs Android 11, but there are Lineage Android 12 builds in alpha. I might update if I feel the need.
- walteweiss 3y agoWow, I surprised it’s supported that well! Not a high-end, and is better than some high-end devices.
