For selecting durations, you can use this --download-sections REGEX

Download only chapters that match the regular expression. A “*” prefix denotes time-range instead of chapter. Negative timestamps are calculated from the end. “*from-url” can be used to download between the “start_time” and “end_time” extracted from the URL. Needs ffmpeg. This option can be used multiple times to download multiple sections, e.g. --download-sections "*10:15-inf" --download-sections "intro"

As for the thumbnails, usually, when I download a Youtube Music album thumbnail, it is already squared. Before that, I used to use a specific hack, but I don’t remember how I did it anymore. Check this discussion, it may help: https://github.com/yt-dlp/yt-dlp/issues/429

Technically true, but it’s easier to refer to it as emulation

You could emulate Android on Linux before, now you can also emulate Linux on Android

The circle of libe is compleet

You can do some automation with GitHub Actions, but I have no idea if it can do specifically that

All this terminal stuff is absolutely not necessary for an average user; graphical applications are often more than enough

Idk, I like cassettes, so I don’t mind being a little silly sometimes

You could say this about any type of music player tbh (LP, cassette, etc.)

I had a Sony portable CD player that I used to use for listening to audiobooks as a kid. It also had an inline remote with a screen. One notable feature it had was custom screen messages (dunno why you would need one tbh). Nothing beats setting the remote so that there was an ASCII dick on the screen all the time, and then have your dad give you the look of disappointment afterwards.

At some point the remote was lost, and the laser assembly broke. I miss that player dearly

I mean, you can put the applet on the panel yourself, if you want to

Do you have the XApp Status applet on your panel? If not, adding it will make some icons look more or less ok. Although it sometimes just displays duplicates of these icons, so there’s that.

Other than that, I don’t think there’s a way to make all icons the same size
