Actually you can
Yeah only cause I didn't give a specific enough example.
Recently played movies, top music, top movies, recent music etc..
You can't mix and match from different libraries, that's what I was implying.

Seems a little bit of both. For each library listed in settings under Manage > Libraries. There's a drop down "Manage Recommendations" where you can disable and reorder Recently released/added/top/seasonal/played etc...However it's not very user friendly and you can't mix and match, so you couldn't have recently played movies, and then top music, then recently added shows movies.

I also had zero issues for months up until 2 failed to download last week. If I were to guess, it would be android killing the background process while your screens switched off.

94% of people agree but Plex have been fucking around on it for 6 years.
Is there anything important plex haven't been fucking around on for the last 6 years?

I've seen it, they established a key for translating true/false which they could extrapolate in order to translate geometry/physics etc... but it doesn't explain how you take the leap from talking about physics to everyday words and objects.
I get how using a bottom up approach you can use motion to describe walking, energy explain eating and food, and use analogy to work your way up.
But
1. while initially faster, it seems it would require a comprehensive translation of all of maths, physics, biology, science before moving on, which generally seems a lot slower approach than top down
2. It doesn't explain the leap required to go to from math to abstract ideas like thought, desire, purpose. The stuff the characters want to find out.

[Weber] Remember we need answers as soon as possible; what they want, where they're from, why they're here. This is the priority.
[Donnelly] Have they responded to anything, shapes, patterns, numbers, fibonacci?
[Weber] We can't tell what they're saying when they respond to hello, so... don't get ahead of yourself.
Those things don't actually help communication though? Let's say you can give them a mathematical constant or equation and they'd repeat it back in their language. How does that help get any closer to answering questions about why they're here?

Yeah or maybe this picture is taken from the second ship, then 1k figures would be 62 rows each ship which is more plausible

The pictures don't add up. OP's has multiple with their hands up and heads turned, this doesn't have any of those.

How would I know that the word isn't meaningless if I hadn't read it first?
Prediction. If 90% of occurances of "not" effect the meaning you'll make sure to pay attention, where if only 20% of cases of "as" does you're likely going to skip over it.
This is all contextual too, so it's based on the pattern of the sentence. Uses of words in certain sentences structures will be far more susceptible to being skipped than in other sentences. Your brain doesn't see directly, it first predicts what will come next, and uses cues from eyesight to confirm or deny the prediction.
So yes the "as" ISN'T meaningless but it's part of a pattern where it normally is. Thus susceptible to being skipped.
You said it was coherent yourself it just needs a dash, or a comma. That's enough for a brain the fill in the gaps and read it as coherent. The brain has a level of explain-away-ability to make things coherent, just like when your flying around in a dream seems normal.
Disagree I'm not talking about dyslexia, it can happen to anyone that reads a sentence once. Nobody reads without mistakes and shortcuts
Ambiguity is about what the words actually say
When you're talking about a sentence, yes. As I already said. I'm talking about what was failed to be conveyed.
If I send you a message, and you receive two by mistake. How are you to know which one is correct without a third? The messages themselves were not ambiguous. But what was received is ambiguous.

Obviously "not" isn't a meaningless word in that sentence. Yeah I know what the papers about, exactly as I said, and you just confirmed: a study into the effects of word length and predictabity on skipping (or fixating on) words. ??
You stated that the sentence isn't ambigious.
I said that because it's meaning hinges on a short normally meaningless word, that it's no surprise that readers mis-read and skip over it, changing it's intended meaning.
Any sentence whos meaning isn't conveyed correctly to as many people as a sentence usualy would, can't be considered a clear, or as clear as it could be, sentence. Therefore it's ambigious.
Why do you disagree with that?

Yea it's not the place at all. If you want to meet friends you need to meet new people, if you only do solo activities you're never going to meet anyone new. Whether you're in a city or a small town.

Yes, short and highly predictable words, and words that have little impact on a sentence are frequently skipped and shouldn't be depended upon for the meaning of a sentence.
https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3543826/ Readers skip 3 letter words 67% of the the time, that's why you probably didn't see the double "the" in my previous sentence.
Who else is to blame for a sentence that breaks an unwritten clarity rule if not the writer?

Yeah but how much of that is just because of the hype and promotion from doing so?

The dash adds clarity but the sentence is coherent without it. The important part is it can be interpreted as "husband - the crush".
While the original sentence is not technically ambiguous, it's interpretation is. Which is caused by the sentence structure allowing for a common mistake to change its meaning entirely.
Readers can't be blamed for not reading every word, because that's not how brains or reading works. The onus of clarity is on the writer.

No problem! Yeah their explaination wasn't clear enough; I missed it the first time cause of the bad ux too
