I'm pretty afraid of what it is...

It's not very widely used, but even if it doesn't get any better it's going to kick our ass

You can disable downloading if your music is copyrighted. Or a layer for copy left of someone tries to take credit.

So someone can ignore the ads, ignore not being able to chose a song, and ignore no download. But having to open musixmatch in a separate app is the straw that broke the camels back

Skip Lidarr for your initial move. Use Deemix. You can find links to premium ARLs on the wiki or with a google search (or DM me).

Deemix has an option to sign in with your Spotify account and download playlists. There's a weird song count limit, and you may have to manually hit some tracks. But this is the way.

You can also do Flac with this setup. You don't necessarily need it, but if you're making the move, I recommend it. Since Flac is lossless, there's never going to be an upgrade.

My phone is 2 years old for me. I bought a oneplus 8 refurb in 2020 for Christmas. Unlocked and outright. I got it because my Galaxy S9 before that was Verizon locked, and I just got off my parent's phone plan. Verizon is very expensive.

I'll still use my old phone from time to time. Mainly for dual account Pokemon Go, or plug it up to a TV to watch something that doesn't support cast, like Newpipe.

I'll keep this phone as long as I can. It's on its last update, though. I'll use LineageOS when I can.

Browsers will never have a higher requirement. It's the particular websites that will use newer technologies that older browsers may not support.

It may not be a mainline browser, but there's no reason you couldn't grab a new browser made to allow your currently out of date phone to use newer features, or at least the features your phone supported at launch. A cursory search on fdroid showed at least 1 browser with a requirement of android 4.4+.

The main thing to remember is that every website doesn't take more power or newer technologies than the last. It's only very specific situations where anything will need more power than something had 5 years ago. 99% of my apps could run on anything probably just fine. Email, Music, Audiobooks, VPN, 2FA etc. Most of those probably have security checks requiring a minimum OS version. Meaning they would actually work for longer on a phone with longterm OS updates than a phone that's much stronger.

With the obvious exception being games. But I would never recommend thinking long term about games in any circumstance.

Required memory 2GB? I have a Thinkpad T420. I'll be installing this soon.

Turns out they work, and this is the solution I used. Thank you very much

I do not. I'll probably avoid locking anything but stock or LOS. Pretty sure those are fine

Rule 2. No political content

Now if only I could carry a single book and have every book. Also this book could do everything else I need and also fit in my pocket
