It first shows clips from the Netflix series and then the music video of the music, with an overlay explaining the significance of the music.

Spotify is testing "Prompt Playlists: Prompt a playlist with specific cues and rules"

First time I've seen a full-screen notification takeover on @spotify desktop.

Isn't this what their Updates feed is for? 🔔

Threads now hides hashtags at the end of posts, like Mastodon does.

Not sure how many it takes to trigger this treatment.
