I ended up switching to Qobuz for this exact reason. I have nothing against podcasts, but what I wanted from Spotify was a great music app, and it's clear that that's no longer what they want to be. (I also suspect that podcasts a

I don't think I've ever gotten a spam call. I used to get the occasional telemarketer call, but I added my number to the NIX-registry (Do Not Call Registry) a few years ago and I've only gotten one marketing call since then.

Everything here requires BankID and that seems a hell of a lot safer and much more convenient than what I hear is used in many other countries (although I don't think BankID should be privately owned like it is now). Another upside tha

I like the way it's done on HHKB layout keyboards: the \ and backspace key switch places and what's normally backspace is split in two so that the top-right key can be used for ~ without requiring any function layer [1]. [1] http

It depends on if they're quiet or not. My modded HHKB Pro2 is not any louder than the usual laptop keyboards are. MX Blue switches should be banned from offices though.

There is a type-s version if you want it to be quieter, or you can mod it yourself with some sound dampening rings. Placing a folded microfibre cloth or a mousepad or something similar underneath the keyboard also dampens the sound quite a
