Still, they could include a "you might also like" section at the bottom of each page of settings, and/or give each setting some optional hidden keywords visible to Search. The one I wanted is called "Screen Timeout" but when I searched for "Auto Lock" it could have been included in my results.
They could convert to a tag-based structure so the same feature can appear in all three sections... but that defies expectations ("what's the difference between these two identically named settings in different sections?") and hampers new users from scrolling through all the settings.
It's essentially the same problem they had in browsability: does this feature go under screen, battery, or security? It has impacts on all three, after all.
For anything as complex and versatile as Android, I think search is inevitable. But I see what @getmeos.com means here... It shouldn't be viewed as an alternative to a good browsable structure. In my case there was ambiguity: do I search for "auto-lock"? "screen timeout"? "sleep when idle"?
Even a registry flag would help to serve power users like yourself, and could be exposed through third-party tools.
"make it a setting" is the universal solution, but won't all these granular settings impact discoverability for the important ones? I know I've been having a hard time remembering where to adjust the screen timeout on my phone despite having changed it several times in recent memory...
Now that CNN and WBD are set to become state media in a sale to Paramount/Oracle/TikTok, it is especially important to support independent media.

A four-panel Calvin & Hobbes comic strip I Photoshopped. In Panel 1, Moe the bully walks up to Calvin at his locker, saying "You're dead at recess, Twinky." In Panel 2, Calvin responds: "Let's turn the temperature down. Stop this campaign of retribution. This is not who we are." In Panel 3, POW! Moe cold-cocks Calvin, knocking him clear out of his shoes. In Panel 4, Calvin lies on his back, battered, and mutters, "Then again, maybe it is."
What DOES seem like a genuine crime against humanity (I am not a lawyer) is mass deportation. It's one of the examples specifically listed in the Rome Statute of the International Criminal Court (which the US withdrew from in 2002). Lawful deportations are an exception, but you need due process. 👀
Not sure if it's applicable in this case (question of scale, mostly) but here's the term y'all are reaching for. Probably time we all brushed up on it.

Well, shit! If there's no accepted standard, and you're confident your method is better than how you've seen others doing it, then maybe your method is the one that ought to be standard! Do you really need a preamble at all?
Yeah, I see the problem. Everyone with enough experience develops their own ways of doing things, but it's helpful to at least know the standard version so collaborators don't think you're from Mars. I don't suppose there's enough time to teach both versions and explain the benefits of your variant?

Every now and then, I like to look up the list of movies that came out in 1999 and I'm consistently shocked at how many of them went on to become lynchpins of Millennial culture. And I didn't even know about this one!
I literally checked to make sure he hadn't died or lost the use of his vocal cords. Why are we mourning instead of petitioning? Who's congressperson do I call, mine or Bill's?

Yep, after reading the article it's clear that they meant to type "Google parent company Alphabet gained 1.5% after reports that Meta plans to use AI chips supplied by Google."
It always reminds me of this intentionally creepy but otherwise wholesome indie game (which takes its name from the Doctor Doolittle creature that's already been referenced in this thread).
