I thought about that after making my post.
Just like there are shitloads of bad SD cards (no-name, unbranded, generic, etc.), it’s just as cheap and easy for any random company to produce their own SSD and get it in circulation on the market just like legitimate SSDs.
Any SSD that could be damaged by a swap file is not an SSD you should have anywhere near your system in the first place (even if you never plan on putting a swap file on it).
My thought on this:
If it was bad, wouldn’t we know by now?
SSD-only systems have been a thing for over a decade, and SSDs themselves have been around for decades.
If standard swap files damage SSDs, someone probably would have said something.
This is basically “Apollo lite” for Android, and as primarily an iOS user, it is a must-get app for me.
I like glass screens with an anti-glare screen protector on it.
The foldables I’ve seen use glossy, soft plastic screens.
We’re already off on a bad start.
These things are becoming softer, more fragile, and more disposable, all the while going up up up in price.
When I see a review for a device that can be permanently damaged with just a fingernail and is frail enough to snap in half if folded the wrong way - all the while costing way more than a regular phone, I don’t know if I’d feel comfortable using it. I already get uncomfortable handing my “normal” phone to someone to see, especially a kid.
Thank you for re-opening the place!
I keep going back and forth between Voyager (buggy) and Memmy (missing features).
If scrolling was fixed (iOS) and images stopped partially loading in Voyager, I would stick with that.
If Memmy supported favorites (without subscribing to a community), then I’d probably stick with that.
You make a solid argument!
I still use that ancient uTorrent app before they were bought out.
And that just makes it that much more clearer how much we need Apollo for Lemmy!
I never knew that pirating kids was such a problem.
