@waifu@mai.waifuism.life Necro-replying, a bit long, but it might be of your (and anybody's) interest.

If you're on Android, it's because engineers at Google are a bunch of nigger pajeets and decided to use kabbalah (i.e. shit) criteria for app memory usage: the max memory an app can use is capped by the screen resolution and its density, so it doesn't actually matter how much RAM the device has, what actually matters is the screen.

So, if your phone needs a lot of RAM to "work", it's because, apart from your screen being like almost 4k, EVERYTHING on Android is an app (duh): the app drawer, the lock screen, the notification shade, the config center thing that pops when you swipe down, anything UI that seems hidden but it's actually on the background and needs to be accessed on a moment's notice... add all the apps you use (that are unoptimized and built like shit most of the time) on the foreground and background and you get a fucking landwhale that needs more than she can eat in order to live.

Oh, and remember that Android in itself is built on Java, another RAM eater.

Thanks for coming to my TED talk :gura_grin:
