I wrote a simple tool to do just that in the taskbar on my window manager: https://fau.re/20230810_spotifyctl/ I've added key bindings to pause, or play the next/previous tracks.
Re:Thoughts on the Remarkable 2 on Tuesday August 15, 2023 @08:53AM (#37133357)
I enjoy my Remarkable 1 even though it can be a bit sluggish from time to time (fixed in Remarkable 2).

It's great to read some A4 pdfs even though one need to zoom when reading academic papers due to the small font used.

The e-ink screen is great to read under the sun but it really lacks some backlight to use it during evenings. I can read some paper books but not use the Remarkable unless I can have a direct light on it, but then there's a bit of shining.

It is like in France, there shouldn't be that much of an issue. Iirc, the use of use of neonicotinoid on beet is with coated seeds. Then, the beets are harvested way before they even produce a flower thus the bees will not pollinate such infected plants.

They held a Q&A sessions and basically their answer to that question is two-fold if I remember it correctly:

- removable batteries can be stolen,

- can have issues due to bad weather.

They consider their design safer on those two points. It's imho a mistake.
