Yesterday, I went to try to cast music from the Plex app to the Vizio Smartcast SP70 I had just bought (awesome speaker, weighs 900 lbs and is as wide as my closet door)... but you can't do music on the Plex phone app. Like, wtf, when did this happen? So, now I need to try to install the older Plex app on my phone with Sideloadly, because Plex is more interested in streaming shit to me and trying to be Netflix or Paramount+ than it is in doing the the thing it always did best and that no one else was doing: allowing me to stream things to my own devices from my own storage. It gets frustrating. At some point, no matter how bad Jellyfin is, it will be better than Plex because Plex is trying to become worse than anything else. I guess I got my Lifetime Pass long enough ago ($75) that I've gotten my money's worth out of it, but goddamn.

three paragraphs of complaining all because you didn’t look this up? because if you did, you would’ve seen that Plex has a separate, dedicated app for listening to music. If your complaint is that “it should be in the same app!” then that’s just an absurdly silly thing to have gotten yourself worked up about.

Why do I want this split into two apps? That serves them. Not me. That makes it easier for them to try to become Spotify in one place while trying to be Disney+ in another. Fuck that shit. They're breaking something that wasn't broken. No one everything's being enshittified. It's because I have to share a planet with losers who not only tolerate it, but cheer it on like stooges.

I think I might be missing something. 900 lbs is 400~ kilograms, but according to the Vizio spec page, the speaker is: Sound bar Weight w/ Stand: 14 Lbs. Packaging Weight: 15.5 Lbs.

  It's a figurative 900lbs.

    Someone forgot to put figurative weights and measures into the model's instructions again. Going to take twice as long to farm updoots with such lazy prompt engineering.
