Huh that's cool. I haven't looked into the apis since about Android 9 so that checks out.

If you wanted fdroid to update apps automatically ~~you'd need to have some system level service running like Google Play services. This is course could be achieved with a custom rom or using root. (This is how huwai and other devices that don't get the play store, as well as Samsung handle their own stores)~~ [untrue as of Android 12, see below comment]

That said I view automatic updates as an anti feature most of the time. I should be asked if I want updates. You can of course turn off auto updates in the play store too though so that's more of a side note.

If I had to guess, to achieve the ultimate conclusion of the Walmart plan, squash every other retailer in the nation and then raise prices.

Because they sell the bulk of their products at a loss. They use their webservices platform to bankroll their retail platform so they can undersell even Walmart. Some years it does turn a slight profit but generally it's fairly negative but no matter what it doesn't offset the pure profit that is the web services division. https://ir.aboutamazon.com/quarterly-results/default.aspx

It is using a system color picker. That's the gtk color picker. You'd need to configure xdg-portal to utilize a different picker I'm pretty sure.

https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/XDG_Desktop_Portal might point you in the direction you're looking for... Not 100% on this though... maybe switch from portal-gtk to portal-kde?

I'm theory, the previous record holder is actually a particular man hole cover involved in operation plumbbum. Some napkin math put it at somewhere around 37 miles per second. A high speed camera pointed at it only caught one or two frames of moment.

Start looking into selenium, probably in Python. It's one of the easier to understand forms of scraping. It's mainly used to web testing, though you can definitely use it for less... nice purposes.

Christianity actually historically tends to lean towards abortion being acceptable historically as long as the father grants permission or the act was done by skydaddy. Skydaddy aborted a LOT of unborn babies in the old testament and of a woman was harmed in such a way that the baby she was carrying was lost the person who harmed her had to pay the farther reparations as the baby was his property.. This is a key note about how the old testament treats babies in general, as property, and only skydaddy could take that away involuntarily without repayment.

The new testament barely mentions babies.

Yeah, a lot of the in the Americas it's not the fact that we'd rather be in a car it's that our public transit options are just so non-competitive with driving by design that it makes no sense to ever use them from a time perspective if you can afford not to.

If you live somewhere like the Bay area where you've got the BART or Chicago with the L, you can 100% use public transit as your daily driver because it's actually faster then driving in most cases and you can read or do work while doing so... sadly this is not the case in most places. Takes me 15 minutes to drive into downtown, if I took the bus it would take me 2 and a half hours.

I'd advise holding off for another couple weeks, the new batch is effective against the latest covid strain, current one isn't.
