@caseyliss I took your advice to not install the beta and promptly ignored it.

@leo imagine a government owned TikTok. I assume they would have to follow the first amendment and have very limited moderation capability. What a cesspool that would be.

I’ve been using #plex for over a decade. For some reason I’ve slept on #plexamp because I through streaming was all I needed. After hearing several people talk favorably about it I decided to throw my old collection in it. What a fantastic app! I feel like I’ve rediscovered a ton of music I love. The DJs and Stations are really fun and well done. It’s just a joy to use. Check it out if you have an old music library lying around.

Here is a new one. The first album in this photo clearly has the wrong date. I can adjust the date on the Mac, but it only registers on iOS devices if I raise it. Lowering the date does nothing. So I guess OK Computer came from the future in my world.

How, in the year 2025, does marking an artist as a Favorite in Apple Music still cause track 1 to become the last track of the previous album in your library on MacOS? It’s been at least 2 years.

Has anyone else noticed the Facebook feed has gone hard into right wing memes? I almost never used to see them. The past month I’ve had to hit not interested on probably 40 of them.

@caseyliss you made me dive down the MQTT rabbit hole. If you are looking for a fun project Tautulli can fire off MQTT messages based on Plex playback status. I’ve got lights adjusting on playback start, stop, pause, and credits starting. It’s really made my home theater room feel fancy.

@caseyliss @atpfm This weeks after show was perfect timing. Just last week I finally setup Home Assistant so I could do a bunch of things in my Home Theater room using MQTT and Plex. I have it set so some lights raise and lower on play/pause events. Lights slightly raise and volume drops a bit when credits start. I’m currently working on how to handle mid credit scenes.
I also setup a nice automation to open and close the garage door when we leave or return home, but only if we are driving.

Regarding the Camera Control, I’ve found using the the double tap to bring up the camera control menu and then using my actual finger to navigate the menus is way more precise then trying to use the slide gesture. I didn’t even think to try that until yesterday.
My only remaining wish is quick access to the 28 and 35mm settings in the cameras menu. I use 35mm quite often.

@jsnell the leaves! That is the exact same story I still my wife, who doesn’t need glasses. The leaves were literally eye opening when I got my glasses in 5th grade.
