For Fedora, replace the current installer (Anaconda) with the openSUSE Tumbleweed installer.
One of the aspects I love about the openSUSE TW installer is the ability to remove groups of packages for the initial install. This is particularly useful if you never use certain programs or intend to replace them with the Flatpak version.

The Thirteenth Floor (1999) depicts a better story about simulated reality than The Matrix (1999) does.
making analysis or historical commentary on film
I’ve been really enjoying the podcast Four Play on the Last Free Nation Culture channel: https://piped.video/@LastFreeNationCulture https://www.youtube.com/@LastFreeNationCulture
literally a stock Pixel phone with missing features
Does the stock Pixel operating system have a network permission toggle that can limit any app’s access to the internet pre- or post-install?
Does the stock Pixel OS have storage scopes or contact scopes, both of which give you granular control over what data an app can see/access?
have elements of disaster which is good enough here
Going by this criterion, my favorite disaster movie is Con Air (1997)
Technically not a time travel show, but it is my favorite show of time travel: “White Tulip” (Fringe S02 E17)
3D Pinball Space Cadet
Pokémon Blue
Season 4 of The Boys
Release of KDE Plasma 6
Inception (2010)
Mini Metro
American Gods
The first season of the TV series is a banger, but the subsequent seasons suffer from a decline in quality. Also, the series finale is just so disappointing compared to the ending of Gaiman’s novel.
I use Stremio + Torrentio and the torrents that are cached show up but can’t play anything at the moment.
I am also encountering this; “Playback error, please try again” is the error message that Stremio presents.
Philip K. Dick’s Electric Dreams (joint UK and US production, premiered first on Channel 4)
great ones that never took off in the states
This TV series fits this description to a T because I reckon that most people, when thinking of a sci-fi TV anthology series, would bring to mind Black Mirror.
I watched Electric Dreams shortly after finishing the latest season of Black Mirror; I found the former more enjoyable and poignant than the latter.
I want an android style permissions menu
Same. In addition to the prompt-based permissions that @Kusimulkku@lemm.ee brings up, I’d like to see more granular control of permissions. For example, a flatpak app’s access to webcams, controllers, etc. are all controlled through just one permission: --device=all
(aka “Device Access” in KDE’s Flatpak Permission Settings).
Tenet hurt my soul
As someone who watched Primer and Tenet back-to-back (both first-time viewings), I am amazed that a film produced on an astronomically higher budget than the other could be twice as confusing, twice as long (!), and so much more exhausting because of the story’s reliance on world-ending stakes.
The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt, Hades, and Portal
exposition dumps
The most egregious example that I encountered recently was in Annihilation. What specifically annoyed me was the scene in which a member of the Shimmer team who rows in the same boat as Natalie Portman’s character tells her something to the effect of, “We’re all damaged goods.”
She then proceeds to provide Portman’s character a straight up list of the internal struggles that each of the team members face.
