January 2021: spt has been updated to fix a lot of the issues I previously had so now I use it a lot more over the iPhone app via Spotify Connect! While it would be pretty weird for Spotify to sue or ask to imprison their own paying customers, I can’t predict how Spotify’s CEO might aim to Maximize Shareholder Value in the future.

Maybe one day I’ll teach myself Swift and write a native macOS Spotify Connect player… But I’m on Linux! Instead, I just control Spotify from my phone via Spotify Connect, so this hasn’t gotten that much use.

After switching software, I have an extra half-gig of memory that isn’t being wasted running yet another instance of Chromium. I decided to look for non-Electron alternative clients for all of those. Lately I’ve gotten especially annoyed at all of the Electron-based junk running on my machine, since I have to work from home, which means needing to use Docker to run or test out various Linux things, which is another 2 gigs of my laptop’s precious memory eaten away.

We can only speculate why all these large companies with enormous engineering resources cannot use the money that I pay them for their services to make software that doesn’t suck, but that’s for another blog post. I’m writing this blog post on a maxed-out 2016 13” MacBook Pro, and it can barely keep up with all these Electron apps I need to keep running.

Then it’s likely that Electron is to blame.
