I think cancer would be more unlimited spread like a weed? Unlimited growth to me is more like a tree.

I’ll be entirely honest - I stumbled in from All and didn’t notice which community this was and was thinking about the words in isolation.

With that said, I think you can think of economies like trees. They can grow in a way that’s sustainable and healthy (e.g., public infrastructure, social safety nets, efforts to address income inequality) but they can also be made to grow in an unhealthy way (e.g., subsidizing corporate interests, privatization of public utilities, promoting short-term gain). I think of it as ensuring stable roots and measured growth instead of trying to make it grow beyond its means of supporting itself and letting entire branches break off.

Just a thought though. Interesting conceptualizations either way!

Thanks for flagging! Must’ve been an issue with Sync!

ijeff,

Yes.

ijeff,
@ijeff@lemdro.id avatar

Oh no. What issues were you having?

ijeff,
@ijeff@lemdro.id avatar

Yeah, I consider this a good thing. There’s enough electronic waste as it is.

Their slide seems to list Siri, Maps, and iAd not being tied to the user’s Apple ID as a pro. I didn’t realize this was the case.

Ideally you shouldn’t have to compromise. GrapheneOS without Google is an option.

ijeff,
@ijeff@lemdro.id avatar

Nope. It’s just in reference to Google login being used across the board.

ijeff,
@ijeff@lemdro.id avatar

Very true.

I think the emphasis on better is key here. They’re better than Google on this front but not necessarily great.

It’s awesome. After using it free for years, I recently became a paid subscriber as a show of support.

ijeff,
@ijeff@lemdro.id avatar

Agreed. I like that the free version works well. The lack of pressure or nagging toward paying is what gets me to want to pay. I usually avoid subscriptions.

Definitely wait. Consider selling your phone instead of trading in and keeping an eye on the promos coming from Samsung directly. At least in Canada, they have been very aggressive for product launches.

Wait what. You’re right. Location-based reminders! I had never bothered to click that in my years of using Keep.

Lots of good comments here so we’ll keep this up, but I’ll flag rule 2 in the sidebar. Open-ended general discussions are welcome here, but we ask that recommendation requests and those seeking advice be posted to !askandroid instead. Thanks!

They were showing up and and more here in Canada a few years back. Not so much recently AFAIK.

Hyperweb might work though.

Even then, there’s not much to buy given Musk fired all the talent.

There was. It was removed a few years ago (androidpolice.com/…/chromes-duet-bottom-bar-inter…).
