       Tell HN: Don't use Spotify's proxy settings to approximate
       'airplane mode'
        
       I share a Spotify account.  When the other person is using the
       account to listen, one of my go-to tricks is to enter a dummy IP
       address (usually 127.0.0.1 with a random port) to fake "airplane
       mode" - Spotify can't connect to the internet and detect the
       other's usage, and I can listen to downloaded playlists. Win-win.
       But! Recently I noticed that filling out a dummy proxy IP will
       simply cause Spotify to show a "Something went wrong" modal, with
       an unhelpful "Try reloading this page" and "reload page" button,
       while disabling any access to other pages (including "Settings"
       page), so I can't revert the proxy settings. Only thing to do is to
       completely uninstall and reinstall.  Just thought I'd share.
       Cheers!
