Human lifespan is relatively short when considered against even the lifespan of other creatures on our own planet like Galapagos turtles and some species of shark. Against the backdrops of geologic and cosmic time scales, 80-100 years is nearly instantaneous.

Life is short. Enjoy your time to the fullest, because when you're looking back on those decades later in life, even they were fleeting.

Make the time to do the things that make you happy, especially when it feels like you don't have time for it.

How unfortunate!

I don't think the episode changed either of our votes, do you?

The universe might have imploded from the sudden imbalance between mass and un-mass (the opposing axis of the "dark matter" posit). We might count ourselves lucky ¹.

My mistake, my client doesn't show which instance on the main feed, just the name of the sub. It totally didn't occur to me I'm subscribed to linux channels across several instances, and I would have sworn they all had the same little icon.

This post is getting spammy for those of us who don't care about Canvas. I mean, get your paint on or however that all happens, but 3 posts in 3 hours is kinda ... Spammy. Sorry, OP.

Can we not make just one stickied Canvas post about this, and keep the hype there?

Old screens warped and frayed at the edges. It's not a clean thing, but a wear & tear thing.

I have the new screen and will press new discs this weekend. It's silky.

Maybe, Texas, don't elect these kinds of assholes, yeah?

I've never known Texas to back down from a fight it couldn't win.

Many apps can act as installer aps. Installing an app is basically the process of unpacking the APK file into a directory where all the other user.apps are stored and registering it with the system. The challenge, such as it is, is making sure two different installer apps aren't trying to manage the same app package.

So if you've installed an app that's available from one of the F-Droid repos that's also available on Play Store, both apps may try to update it. Its not a common conflict since the F-Droid versions tend to have a different signature than the Play Store versions, so the other installer tends not to try and overwrite it.

As for how the F-Droid scene works, there are different collections of packages curated by different teams. These curated collections are called repositories, or repos as I mentioned above. Each repo tends to have a unique focus for the apps they support. They build and sign the apps so the installers know the provenance of a given package.

As for the installer apps, they are simply clients that can subscribe to different repos and collate the indexes of applications available on each. When you search for an app, you're really searching the index and in the event you get multiple hits, your client app should let you select which repo you want to pull the APK file from. That client app may then attempt to update that app as newer versions become available.

Finally, to come to the point and answer your question: You can install the new app (e.g., Droid-ify) alongside F-Droid and begin configuring it. Maybe just only have auto-updates enabled in one of them. They will both provide similar functionality for supporting multiple repos, installing and auto-updating apps, though they have different UIs with different ergonomics and workflows.

~~Myself, I have both F-Droid and Droid-ify installed, and I still use the Play Store. I mainly use Droid-ify because I like the cleaner UI, but I understand F-Droid finally updated their UI as well. (It was needed, IMO). Droid-ify has the auto-update job for now.~~

edit: Apparently I forgot that I uninstalled F-Droid some time ago. Just checked and its not there anymore. Oops, I lied.

Isn't this like the second Iranian warship to be mysteriously disabled this week?
