LLM chatbots are going to make typing words on a tiny mobile keyboard a lot more common in the near future. That’s going to annoy a lot of people, because slate smartphone keyboards universally suck. My PinePhone’s mechanical keyboard is a

Spotifyd can be a desktop client. It doesn’t have a UI, but you can send it commands over dbus. Spotifyd on my laptop (often started initially with connect) is my primary method of listing to Spotify.
