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.
Turning on the iPhone’s Stolen Device Protection is simple—it’s just one small toggle in your phone’s settings.
There is one crucial detail that the article doesn’t mention: Find My iPhone must be enabled to enable SDP. That is to say, enabling Find My (along with biometric authentication) is a prerequisite for SDP.
The official GrapheneOS Twitter account states the complete opposite on several occasions:

Many people have the misconception that they’re defeating the purpose of GrapheneOS by using privacy invasive apps but in fact the opposite is true. If you want to use those apps, then using GrapheneOS allows you to protect your privacy from them far better than another OS.

GrapheneOS arguably makes the biggest difference for someone who is going to be using a bunch of mainstream apps including very privacy invasive ones. They need features like Storage Scopes and Contact Scopes more.

You’ll substantially benefit from our privacy and security features without making significant changes to your apps. In fact, you’ll benefit more from features like Storage Scopes, Contact Scopes, Sensors toggle, etc. if you use a bunch of very privacy invasive apps.

The Thirteenth Floor (1999) depicts a better story about simulated reality than The Matrix (1999) does.

Going by this criterion, my favorite disaster movie is Con Air (1997)

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.
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.
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.
When I feel very bored, I go to the Wikipedia page of a movie that I do not intend to watch anytime soon and just read the entire plot write-up, as well as the “Critical Response” subsection.
