  Some tricks I’ve used in the past when hugge sets of episodes are scrambled or misnamed and you need to start from square one matching them:

  • Check if there is any embedded metadata with the episode name or number with a tool like MediaInfo
  • If the episodes have different runtimes, you can try to match them to runtime listed on a well-labeled list of episodes, like on Wikipedia or in a torrent.
  • Download a tool to auto-generate subtitles from the audio track. Probably won’t be accurate, but should give you enough of the dialog to now search online and see what episode it is.
  • If the show has a splash screen with the episode name at a fixed time, like many kids shows, you can auto-generate thumbnails at that time for all episodes
  • Last resort: Manually watch enough of each episode to match it to the right episode synopsis on e.g. wikipedia and then label it appropriately
  • Pirate option: Pretend you ripped it yourself and download a properly-curated set

  I came to make sure grandson was mentioned. Their Soundcloud tagline is something like “the soundtrack to your revolution”.

  My bad. A few years ago I looked at getting Tile for my Dad and decided not to when it mentioned a recurring subscription. I didn’t realise it had a decent free. I also assumed Apple would be even worse for rent-seeking because, well, it’s usually a safe assumption. My bad for assuming so much!

  Honest question: why cross post to two communities on the same instance. Isn’t this just splitting the comments without really inceasing exposure?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Is airtags really useful?⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Is there any variation of these that doesn’t require a subscription? Even if it means it only works around th house (e.g. on wifi)?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨why do transphobes mention pedophiles/compare them to pedophiles when most trans people (as do most people) hate pedophiles?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  You say, “biased towards the trans community,” I say, “biased against baseless bigotry,” as any sensible person should be.

  Your ramblings may be scattered with statements that are agreeable in isolation (like “they are just people like the rest of us”), but your stance seems to ignore the fact that, unlike “the rest of us”, the trans community is being specifically targeted and marginalized, so for the sake of equity it seems fair (not biased) for the rest of us to more vehemently defend them.

  I appreciate you exploring your sense of humour, but let’s stop using gay as an insult.
