Yes.

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!

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

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.

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

Very true.

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

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

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.

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

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