    No you dont but you have no social life in that case. People sharing playlists with you, looking up music quickly… personally I dont need it, but its a bubble poorly

      You can still freely access the playlists on https://open.spotify.com/ without an account. And Newpipe has a share function for local playlists. You won’t be missing on a lot, just don’t fall for the consumerist trap and break the social boundaries.

      Edit: You can also access banking services from their respective website. Don’t give them power over you by downloading their apps.

        Didnt know that! Thats cool.

        Banking TAN apps are nessecary if you somehow want to use your phone and not a weird card reader. The app itself is just comfortable

        Here in Brazil, banking services force you into installing spyware in your computer in order to use them, making it a worse option compared to proprietary android apps.

      @Pantherina I’ve honestly never even heard of sharing playlists through freedom denying proprietary surveillance capitalist software like that. I understand the necessity when sharing personal files, like on #Funkwhale, but I certainly wouldn’t call that a social interaction, let alone a significant portion of one’s social life. Mind explaining it to this old guy?

        I dont listen to much music. I dont have Gigabytes of music. No real idea how to discover new music of various genres.

        So if people share playlists atleast I need to download the songs. I almost never use that app, but anyways.

          @Pantherina yeah no need to download to listen to Funkwhale, “the cloud” it plays from is just the various servers on the Fediverse
