well i downloaded the “official” memmy app from the app store and it is working fine on lemmy.zip so it might be a instance issue. I"m in the process of moving to a smaller instance so that i can help reduce the load on lemmy.ml directly.

I honestly don’t know, but I did find this if you are working on windows or Mac. Warning this is probably. NOT free software.

It sounds like when you removed the efi partition it probably wiped the i/o info that allowed the drive to connect to the computer. Since it was operating fine until you removed that partition. The efi partition does hold important information for the ssd to be able to operate.

I’m not that tech savvy with ssd’s but logically there has to be something that allows the ssd to know to connect to the computer. When you think bout it pen drives have a partition you cannot delete for this reason after you format them.

Based on This info it seems you have rendered that ssd completely unusable.

Add to this not being worried about their phone more than the people they are talking to/ or spending time with

Do you have n idea of what you want instead of the lemming?

The question is how long before cars are the same price as a house right now? Just 10 years ago you could get a car for around $22,000 now that same car is $45,000 and the materials are less expensive then they where then. Don’t get me wrong I understand price increases, been a thing for years. What I don’t understand is why someone would pay up to $75,000 for a truck that cost 35,000 just a 5 years ago when the quality has gone downhill. Why would anyone want a $1300 to $1500 car payment a month for a car that might last 5 years before breaking down somehow. And don’t tell me “it’s the cost of materials and labor.” This is nothing but pure greed. The labor force is making the same amount of money they were 5 years ago, materials may have gone up by 3%-4% over the same period. The only people coming out ahead are the CEO’s and banks.
