I switched over to Emby a while back for video, but kept plex in a limited capacity for music since I really like Plexamp.

The thing I really like about plex was that 99% of the time, it would scan and match up my media, even if file formats were inconsistent. That was a growing pain for Emby, so it was another reason I kept plex for music.

Is there a good alternative to plex for music?

Right? I came back just to comment on it... haven't even read the article.

I got distracted by the shiny dangly thing and it took a little while to figure out it was a pull chain.

"I can’t solve these things, but maybe you people in the future can stand on my shoulders."

Seeing AI being lauded for solving problems like this makes me feel... uncomfortable.

We are feeding all works of the giants that we have all stood on into a huge vat, in the hope to generate something meaningful.

If we can't understand the output, internalize it, or build from the time and experience that a human would have gained from solving the same problem, it feels like a dead end.

When all the problems have been "solved" by AI, what's next? If humans no longer struggle to solve the problems that the previous generation have left behind, how do we progress?

One is a toy. Created on a whim, it will end up in the bin with other toys. They might pick it up and paw at it later, stir up some memories, and then put it back.

One is art. When completed, they can look at it and be reminded of the journey of creation, a labor of love. It could be put away, or displayed for all to enjoy.

I have this as well, and all my kids seem to as well.

Never knew that it was part of fighter pilot screening, that is interesting.

I would get that as well - I ended up at the urgent care a few times just because it was so painful and unsettling.

It was never diagnosed but I'm pretty sure it was costochondritis - something in my sternum area was inflamed and would give off this awful shooting chest pain.

The best times were chilling out with my grandmother watching Roadrunner and other looney tunes.

She always felt bad for the coyote... not in a root-for-the-bad-guy kind of way, but because it was always stacked against him.

I know the movie is about Acme selling him defective goods, but I wonder how they'll address the way that his entire world including it's physical properties seemed to conspire against him.

His character in Legend is a core childhood memory for me.

Also his voice role as Hexxus in Fern Gully!

Holy crap that's my desk too, bought about 24 years ago. It's been a great desk. Gray frame with black work area/shelves.

I guess at the time the name was funny too but I had forgotten it.

We could do all of that before the most recent datacenter build outs.

Existing datacenters at the scale we were used to were just fine for what was expected of them.

As a kid in the early 90s, I remember staying up late to watch the news and there were specials about upcoming technology. I think it was close to the end of the year and they were going over what was in the works for the next year.

It was an exciting time, and I cherish those warm memories, that feeling of a wide open future that I was going to be a part of.

It feels like I got screwed out of those dreams.

Technology framed my life - I loved all of it! Computers, programming, videogames, taking everything I could apart and trying to figure it out and fix it when it failed. I eventually got into IT, and have had a good career.

The last couple years - it feels like it's all being taken away. There's a lot more to say, but I wasn't really planning on a super long rant here. Maybe I just wish the enshittification of it all had an ending that didn't feel so bleak.

Only if they grew up near a BBQ joint

> Who on Earth are you to decide what is the "better" use for labor?

> In capitalism, people get to decide for themselves what they work on

Feels like there are some mixed signals here.
