Don't be corporate.

The only way left to combat the algorithms is being aggressively human.

Involving myself in the sweat and infarction inducing horror of British Airways’ horrifically terrible mobile app has made we wonder why there is no equivalent of the #razzies for apps? My suggestion would be for an annual #Crappies Awards ceremony. Worst design. Worst UX. Greediest In-App Purchase Demands. Most Endless Ad-Loop (I’m looking at you, CandyCrush) Most Pointless Function. I’m sure between us, Mastopeeps, we can think of 10 or 15 categories.

Latest comic: You can't deny people both a living wage and public programs to compensate for a lack of the former. Of course people are going to end up on the streets!

I have a Plex server and I use a combination of MakeMKV, Handbrake, and MKVToolNix GUI to import my blu-rays.

This works well, but the one feature I would really like for MKVToolNix is to be able to batch operations like "make subtitle track 2 default on", or "clear the title field" across multiple files. It kills me doing this by hand for 50 episodes of a show.

I'm experimenting with a mute filter for any post containing the name of the bird site or containing links to the bird site.

I didn't leave the other place just to have people constantly talk about what is happening there and linking to it.

As always, you do you.
