The rules are easy to follow though and clearly stated at least.

Nova Launcher with tracking blocked. I use EdgeGestures as well for extra functionality.

I really like Nova, but also prefer to keep as much of my data to myself so I blocked Nova access to the internet via app permissions. Also blocked branch domains on my pi-hole for peace of mind.

Yep that would be a very useful feature, as well as flick away to dismiss the image.

Xiaomi Mi 9 Lite running LineageOS 20 (Android 13) (official).

I feel absolutely blessed by the device maintainers that keep Lineage alive and current on this phone. It runs amazing considering its lower speced hardware.

I picked this phone because it has NFC, an IR blaster, notification LED and a 3.5mm jack!

Not sure how the flagships brands justify leaving those features out

My only complaint is the camera which is very average but I knew that before I purchased so I can't really complain.

Zotify can download music directly from Spotify. You can bulk download or search individual songs, playlists, artists etc to download.

You need to have an account and a having premium allows you to get full quality downloads.

I've noticed this to. I've tried to block the NSFW Lemmy instance multiple times but still have posts from it in my all feed.

As someone who doesn't use Spotify, this is amazing for music discovery. I should have been in bed a while ago but keep finding new groups to listen to.

I daily drove Puppy Linux live booted off a USB for a few months probably 15 years a go when my hard drive died and I couldn't afford a new one.

Zotify is great.

I downloaded approximately 3,000 songs in one go from a premium account to get the high quality versions.

Made me a little nervous but as the repo says, they have no reports of any one getting banned for using the tool.

I was a Relay user for years and found that I prefer Connect followed closely by Jerboa.

I've also tried Thunder and Liftoff which are both great but the UI/UX of Connect and Jerboa seem to feel more at home for me.

I make an effort to use all four interchangeably but my thumb gravitates to Connect more often than not.

Link for those interested: zotify.xyz.

It's CLI based and has lots of options for bulk downloads or searching individual songs/albums/artists to download.
