I was pleasantly surprised by Lower Decks and Strange New Worlds is growing on me. The rest of New Trek really didn’t interest me.

Just watch The Orville instead.

Wow. With all the awful stuff happening over there I guess we’re lucky they didn’t just shelve it forever.

As someone who setup his own nas over the pandemic I really like this approach. Needed a time intensive project to stay sane and I keep finding more useful things it can do.

Another thought I’ve had, plex has a skip intro feature. This works by scanning the audio from multiple episodes and showing the skip button when available. Maybe something like that could build up an ad library of the most obnoxious repetitive podcast ads and work across different podcasts. It wouldn’t work for unique self reads though.

I wish I had the technical knowledge to build something like this but I done even know where to begin.

IHeartradio is the worst. I have dropped off listening to podcasts I otherwise really like. Behind the bastards, anything Robert Evans does really. The ads are too bad.

I do wish that was more common. I have no problem with Patreon to remove the ads.

I love the idea of using AI for for ad skipping. Let it do something positive instead of just our jobs in the near future.

To add to this, some podcasts on certain networks dynamically insert ads based on your location, any other data they have on you. so the ads may be different length for different users, further complicating this.

Definitely a difficult problem still looking for a solution. thanks for your input.

I do support a few to get ad free versions but these are almost nonexistent. very few podcasts do this.

Yes. I am one of those who pays for premium. I primarily watch on my tv and probably watch more youtube than anything else. Also still on the old $10 plan but we will see how long that lasts.

bummer. I guess mine is a couple years old at this point and they closed that loophole. I hate ads and would pay more to remove them anyway though.

I recommend getting the kids paperwhite. Comes ad free and with a good case. Just unsub from the kids book thing if you don’t want it. Paperwhites are backlit so I can fall asleep reading at night with no other lights on. The newer ones also support dark mode and usb-c, finally!

And only buy any Amazon devices when deeply discounted like on prime day.

I am a big fan of isponsorblocktv which sits on a network device like a nas and skips YouTube sponsor segments on Apple TV.

Give us a link. Lets talk about it how awesome plex shares are and encourage others to share their servers 😀

Make one for Lemmy?

I’ve found discord to be a bit of a barrier for the less tech savvy friends too. Overseerr has worked great though. Except now it’s too easy and my server has gone from meticulously curated sci-fi and horror and pretentious classic films to include all the big modern trash I don’t care to watch. Oh well.

Looks like you still need to open the post for it to be marked as read. Not just on scroll.

But Memmy is looking a lot better than the last time I opened it up.

I have Memmy installed as well but keep gravitating back to wefwef.

Whichever one gets hide on scroll first will win for me.

As a fellow Apollo refuge, check out wefwef/voyager. Really helps with the transition. Lemmy webapp heavily based on Apollo’s design.

Futurama. It has at least 3 very satisfying endings.
