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

Got a long list of ex-lovers
"Lonely Starbucks lovers"
Excellent overview!
I have one data point to add: Real-Debrid accepts Privacy.com virtual cards, so this is another payment method to consider if you want to protect yourself from possible data breaches on Real-Debrid's side.
have elements of disaster which is good enough here
Going by this criterion, my favorite disaster movie is Con Air (1997)
The Thirteenth Floor (1999)
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.
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.
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).
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.
Alphas
If those financial apps include banking apps, then this post by a mod of the GrapheneOS Discussion Forum should be useful. It includes a link to an up-to-date list of banking apps compatible with GrapheneOS and a link to steps to help resolve compatibility issues if they do occur.
Technically not a time travel show, but it is my favorite show of time travel: "White Tulip" (Fringe S02 E17)
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.
If you're up for another recommendation, I suggest trying out Innertune [Link to Github repo]. It has been discussed on the GrapheneOS Discussion Forum as an alternative to Spotify for music streaming. Also, Innertune's dev released an update recently (2 days ago from the time of this post) that includes a major UI rewrite and other improvements to the app [Link to latest stable release].

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
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.
Mini Metro
Watch the entire season of 3 Body Problem
FYI:
On GrapheneOS, you can fully disable emergency alerts in Settings → Safety emergency → Wireless emergency alerts since we add a toggle for Presidential alerts. The naming of the alert types varies based on country which is determined by the carrier's country code not language.

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.
