Post memes here.
A meme is an idea, behavior, or style that spreads by means of imitation from person to person within a culture and often carries symbolic meaning representing a particular phenomenon or theme.
An Internet meme or meme, is a cultural item that is spread via the Internet, often through social media platforms. The name is by the concept of memes proposed by Richard Dawkins in 1972. Internet memes can take various forms, such as images, videos, GIFs, and various other viral sensations.

IIRC, Spotify watches the system volume and doesn’t pay for streams playing when it’s muted. Physically unplugging your speakers should work, though.
If you have a desktop and not a laptop, it's always a great idea to get a separate sound controller. Either a dac/amp for nice headphones, volume controls on a wireless headset, or even buy a sound mixer like the rodecaster duo so you can assign independent applications to each physical slider on the mixer. I do that last one and it's such a quality of life improvement if you use your PC a lot.
All of these options can't be seen from Spotify.
Yeah, but separate physical controls are beneficial when you have full-screen apps, are busy, don't want to lose your place, or if you need to do it more frequently and quickly than the sound mixer allows.
Linux largely has this too, but in both OS's it's less convenient than reaching over and quickly pressing a button or sliding a slider in many scenarios.
Of course if you just need to edit these infrequently then that's a perfectly good solution and there's no reason to spend any money at all.
