Prime is adding ads to their streaming service
  • 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 🤷‍♂️

  • Prime is adding ads to their streaming service
  • 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 :/

  • Google Fiber is offering early access to $250 per month 20-gig service - The Verge
  • 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?

    [Mental Outlaw] Apple May Soon Allow Sideloading Apps on iOS
  • 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.

  • Discord file links will expire after a day to fight malware
  • 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

  • Is there a web client for Soulseek?

    I'm currently running Nicotine+ on my PC for audio downloading, and it works great. However, if I want to download some music on another device, I have to remote in, download the album I want, and then transfer the files to the other device. Since my mobile reception is not very good where I work, I download music to listen offline very often, so it's a bit tedious.

    Instead, is there a web client where I can download files to the server and then to my device locally? I know there are some mobile clients for Android, but I can't find any for iOS, and I don't want to be sharing files off my phone 24/7.

    Six Months Ago NPR Left Twitter. The Effects Have Been Negligible
  • 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?

  • Any iOS alternatives to NewPipe?

    Yattee has recently dropped support for iOS 14, and was already extremely buggy to begin with. I currently use the uYou tweak on YouTube, but it isn't as private. Are there any native alternatives that don't involve a PWA?
