We have small lights that plug into the socket. They turn on automatically when there is movement and it is dark, or if the power goes out. We can also take them out of the socket and then they become flashlights.

It doesn't look like it. It might be worth suggesting it to the man behind Language Transfer, he probably just doesn't know about f-droid.
Yes, Language Transfer doesn't have as many languages as Duolingo. Hardly surprising, since the entire system and all the language lessons were created by one man!
For me, the most important thing is to learn to think in the other language. Everything else follows from that.
Language Transfer makes a conscious effort not to get you to memorize things, but to internalize them and understand the system. That works perfectly with my own way of learning.
Language Transfer is much, much better than Duolingo for learning a language.
I am learning Spanish using language transfer after having learned four other languages in more traditional ways. Obviously, immersion is the best way to learn. But if you have to learn any other way, this is the one. Far, far better than Duolingo.
It's made up of MP3s, usually about 10 minutes each. You just listen to them and respond to the instructor.
You can use SoundCloud, or YouTube, or the simple but practical smartphone app. The whole thing is run by one guy, and there is no charge but he asks for donations. I have been paying $10 per month on Patreon for several years now, and consider it well worth it.
You can learn French, Spanish, Italian, German, Greek, Turkish, and Swahili.
I think that you are off by about an order of magnitude. Spotify pays $0.003 per stream, and title apparently pays $0.01 -0.05.
It helps if you realize that most people are delighted to talk about themselves, if you can find the right angle. They may be passionate about cars, or gardening, travel, their children.
Also realize that most people have spent a lot of time doing whatever they do, and there are things they know about it that few other people do.
For example, someone who works in a laundry might have insights into the laundry business, or the people who come in late at night or the values of different kinds of detergent.
Someone who works at a mall may well know things about them all that you don't. There may be aspects to their job that they find challenging or painful.
I seem unable to care much about other people (not officially diagnosed on the spectrum, but it seems obvious to most people who know me), but I am interested in the insights they can give me, and I genuinely want them to be happy.
Having a conversation like that also beats sitting around awkwardly.
The title is just "Pi", and it's by Darren Aronofsky, who has gone on to create a number of excellent movies.
Note that this is an American experience. In Canada, every time you renew your mortgage the interest rates are set at the current rate. So people renewing their mortgages now are paying around 7% interest, whereas 5 years ago they might have been paying 2%.
One of my co-workers had his mortgage payment jump from about $2,500 to $3,500/month a couple of years ago.
I agree. The section on web browsers mentioned that Nicola Pellow joined a team of 19 developers at CERN. It doesn't say that she was the only woman on the team, but since she was singled out that is the way I interpreted it.
It's a bit hard to say that web browsers would not have existed if one out of 20 team members was not there.
Sounds like you should look at a few years of https://thedailywtf.com entries. Enough to make the staunchest man (or woman) weep.
If it doesn't include expressive hand gestures, then it's worthless. 🤣
I finished two episodes, and I really hope that the interesting part is going to start. So far almost everything has been about how Cowboys are tough, gruff, brooding, and loyal to their families above all else. A couple of SF elements, but those have been incidental.
I really hope that it's going to do more than just mining the cowboy mythology and showing how rugged individualism is superior to government and corporations.
