There will be 2 more tasks tomorrow and 6 days before 2025 to get more stars. Congrats to everyone getting at least 1/4 stars (half of advent with part 1) and it's nice to see that some of us made it to the last day 🎉

P.S. Sorry for spamming with empty notifications, there was an update
- Better stars design
- Better changelog design
- Refactor to store multiple years
- Refactor to send reports of stars

...and this is exactly why you should have used anything but the software which opened this popup

❄️ Happy New Year!

So my initial issue with Spotify was that for a long time whenever you open any Spotify URL (playlist, song, etc), it flushes the queue and starts playing the opened media. After some testing with support team it ended up to be an UI issue — queue disappears, but actually it will be played after opened song ends

Just now I had something playing on my PC, then alarm with Spotify song started playing on my phone, after which Spotify on PC decided that it would be an amazing idea to switch to my phone speakers and start playing alarm song when I hit Play on PC

Just why 😭

It plays whole fucking album of NATURE SOUNDS after that 😭

⚰️ R.I.P. Nokia phones

Finland's Aalto University launched Nokia Digital Museum

P.S. The Nokia brand continues to exist in the conventional handset segment though. The company itself has over the years successfully moved into network infrastructure and telecoms, becoming a leader in 5G, cloud computing and Internet of Things technologies
