Curious, where in Singapore do you live? Last time I tried Prime, it usually took a few days for them to ship my stuff, even with Prime listings that were fufilled by Amazon SG. To be fair, it was a year or so ago, so maybe things have changed, but I thought that next-day shipping was only a US thing 🤷‍♂️

Looks like Amazon wants to close off this year with yet another rent-seeking episode. Thankfully I don’t use Amazon, but my parents still pay for Prime specifically for their streaming service, so this is going to be very annoying for them :/

Not sure if they allow this in Pakistan, but can’t you use PayPal to pay for Spotify? This support article says you can, alongside gift cards and mobile payments

I’d be interested to know what the actual speeds will be outside of these pilot cities, and internationally. I’ve seen 10Gbps plans being advertised in my country recently, but they hide the fact that the international speeds are around 2 Gbps. (Still pretty fast, but definitely not worth the cost!)

A better question, actually: Who’s the target audience for this? Unless you routinely transfer terabytes of data daily, I don’t see why you would need anything more than 1 or 2 Gbps - and if you do need to transfer that much data, wouldn’t it be more cost-effective to lease dark fibre instead?

Interesting - I’ve visited this site before on my phone, and there’s usually a button below the ‘Disable my adblocker’ button, allowing you to bypass the message. Guess they’ve changed it :/

That’s an over-exaggeration - the telemetry in Audacity is literally just opt-in error reporting, and the server is self-hosted by the developer. Source

I don’t think so, it’s clearly an ironically hyperbolic statement

Flipboard also supports RSS, allowing you to see your feeds with any software you want!

Wow, are we getting Windows N again?

From your post history, it looks like you’re in Singapore. If so, then I don’t think that will be a concern - if anything, given how most government apps treat sideloading on the Android side, they’ll probably block you from using them if you use the feature.

I’ve looked around malware link scrapers (ex. URLhaus) before, and I recall seeing that a large portion of the malware links were hosted on Discord, especially trojans. Although it will break a lot of legitimate shared files, I respect them for fixing this security issue

If you also need test videos, Demolandia is another great resource. However, their site is very slow, so you might want to use a download manager.

Nice, that’s exactly what I’m looking for! Thanks

Oh, I understand now, I’m not from the US so I just assumed that it was majority-funded. I’m just not sure why this would be a big deal even if NPR was government funded - I mean, it’s still better than a broadcaster owned by the media oligopoly, so who really cares?

Yeah, they totally should, but this is Elon Musk we’re talking about, unfortunately :/

Is that so? I thought it was a more significant source. But isn’t it technically correct, though? I’m not American, but Wikipedia says it was established by the Public Broadcasting Act of 1967.

Serious question: What’s wrong with NPR being labeled as “US-supported media”? Isn’t it funded by the US federal government?

What about the about:profiles page?

Rutracker has a lot of ISO rips, maybe start there?

I mean, you could just block OpenAI’s crawlers’ IP addresses, if you wanted to
