I'm a big fan of Droid-ify.

I've never felt so seen in a comment. Also, you're down to monthly?

Something worth noting is that F-Droid is both an app to download other apps but they also maintains a repository of apps. You can use alternative store apps (like Droid-ify) with the F-Droid repository OR you could use the F-Droid app with a different repository (like IzzyOnDroid). You can mix and match to meet your needs.

I use the Droid-ify app with the F-Droid, IzzyOnDroid, microG, NewPipe, and Collabora repositories.

Once you start down this rabbit hole, give Obtanium a look.

I don't want AI sound removal. Give me a feature that is useful like a fingerprint sensor on the back of the phone.

It was such a solid television show. I've got preschoolers at home now, but I can't wait to share it with them (along with a lot of other sci-fi).

The real question remains, can you flip it upside down for an episode like in the first season?

I didn't realize how many community run servers were out there.

Why not both? My daily driver is Linux Mint with XFCE as my DE.

The Smart Band 7 with Gadgetbridge is great! You can track a ton and your data stays on your devices instead of being sent to China. Unless that's your thing. You be you.

FlorisBoard is great! It's not had a release in about year but that doesn't mean it's not under active development. The developer is currently working on the Natural Language Processing component.

I have a PineTime and a Xiaomi Smart Band 7. There has been little work done on sleep tracking for the PineTime using InfiniTime.

I'm tracking my sleep using the Smart Band 7 and Gadgetbridge not Xiaomi's app. You do have to use Xiaomi's app to set up the band the first time, but that's been the case since the Mi Band 4.

Xiaomi's bands combined with FOSS Gadgetbridge is an excellent combination.

We saw this with the last reboot, like the "Earth Certificate" episode. They are writing using then-current references, but because the normal time to produce an episode is so long, the references feel stale. South Park was king of topical references because their production turnaround was 6 days. They were able to put out a Michael Jackson episode the week after he passed. That said, I don't want a Futurama episode that they only worked on for 6 days.

What about a gift card to a streaming service? I don't know that is available where she is located. You could gift a few months of something like Hulu or Max with some suggestions of movies or TV shows to watch.

You could also gift something like Spotify Premium and include suggestions for new artists that you think she'd like or even build a playlist to share with her.

Certain networks, especially Fox, have the tendency to air episodes in a different order than production might have intended. They did this with Futurama, Firefly, American Dad!, etc. As such, you'll get different episode orders between broadcast and DVD/Blu-ray.

The streaming order is different for Futurama because the four direct-to-disc movies were broken into "episodes" for Season 6 for streaming... They might have also aired on Comedy Central in that format.

I had one of these in college. It was a good little player. Reasonably inexpensive. One end was a cap that came off and was a full size USB, so that you didn't need to carry around cables.

I'm not going to tell you how long it took me to figure out that the hold switch made the storage mount as read only when plugged into a computer.

TheTVDB has the episodes ordered five different ways: Aired Order, DVD Volumes, Absolute Order, Streaming Order, and Production Order. Your link is for the order in which it was aired.

Maybe you want the DVD Volume order? https://thetvdb.com/series/futurama/seasons/dvd/2

Give Liftoff a look!

Another bump for Valetudo! I've been running for more than a year and it's great!
