Of course they can but what would be the point of that? It would just cost storage space.

Finally, no more weird &amp or whatever it was

Lemmy is not storing anything for no reason tho, there's no point in that without advertising. The only data they could hand over would be public anyway.

Joined the 5€ tier, hope it's at least a little help. I was also using the EA builds for free for quite a while, so it's good to actually pay for it.

Once you turn on your Laptop it should just sync from your phone, no? I don't really get what the issue here is

The applications just run in the background the whole time. KDE was working on implementing UnifiedPush in Plasma but I don't know if it's already implemented or still in the works.

But the hydrogen also has to be transported, which produces CO2, you need containers for that that also produce CO2 when getting manufactured. I'm not saying it's more than with a battery but it could be. We'd need actual numbers to really know tho.

If every app on your phone was constantly running and asking the server for new messages, it would drain a lot of battery. That's why phones instead use a single app that asks a notification server if any new notifications are there. The way it works is if you e.g. get a WhatsApp message, the WhatsApp server tells the notification server that you have a new message, then when the notification app asks that server for new messages, the server will tell it that there's a new WhatsApp notification. Then the notification app wakes up WhatsApp and tells it there's a new notification, then WhatsApp checks for new messages and shows you the notification.

Most apps use Apple's system (whatever it's called) on iOS or Google's Firebase on Android for that. There are also apps that let you use the open standard UnifiedPush, which let's you use any notification app or server you want.

I haven't gotten banned yet, at least. Even if I did, it wouldn't be a big loss. I'm definitely not gonna torrent without a vpn anyway.

So does a swap partition. I just meant that's an option as an alternative to it. But now that I think about it, not enough RAM wouldn't cause performance issues anyway, it would just cause random applications to stop working.

You can also just make a swap file, you won't have to make partition that way
