now that I don't have access to Apple Music anymore, 90% of my home pod use is checking the time, setting timers, and asking what time the baseball game starts

I should really look into an open source equivalent to do basic stuff like that without giving all my data to Apple

I do still want to figure out how to set up a connection to my Plex server for music, but until then, I'm happy enough just casting from my phone or iPad to a Bluetooth speaker. I do must be able to just start playing specific music while cooking though
