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

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

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

What about the about:profiles page?

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

Maybe it was updated after your comment, but the demo site has that notice prominently at the top for me

As a frequent Discogs user, this new fee change is so infuriating. I’m sure these changes aren’t as big for US or EU-based buyers, but the shipping fees I get in Singapore were very large even before this change, usually 2 or 3 times the cost of the item itself. Nowadays, there are some sellers who flat out refuse to sell items to me, specifically because of the fees. And this is just with CDs and cassettes, which have smaller shipping costs than a 12" record…

The problem is, I don’t really have any choice for getting used music. eBay has limited stock and even crazier shipping rates, especially if you want a specific edition of an album. I’ve heard talk of some sellers moving to Etsy, but if they have, they’re not showing up. And the few physical stores left here mostly carry stock in mainstream albums. So I mostly have to suck it up if I want a rare album, and pay the exorbitant costs :/

God I hope not - the prices for used records are insane. I can usually buy 2 or 3 mint CDs for the price of 1 “Very Good” (i.e full of pops and scratches) vinyl

Oh no, you’re all good, it’s just that this may not work for new people trying this soon. If you activated already, then it should stick until you change your computer’s motherboard

Good to see them fix this so quickly, but what’s stopping Microsoft from blocking HWID activations on a GVLK? After all, those keys would normally be activated through a KMS instead of Microsoft, so it’s clearly abnormal behaviour

To expand on this, most of the developers who make these jailbreaks openly disavow their use for piracy, and focus more on homebrew applications. Since Microsoft lets you sideload any app you want in Dev Mode, there’s no incentive to unlock Retail Mode, whereas other console makers have no such system and thereby get targeted more

I was forced into using a Fitbit last year, and I instantly went back to my Samsung Galaxy watch when I got the chance. Samsung Health is annoying on iOS, but at least you don’t need to send all your data to Samsung in order to use it

I know that hCaptcha has a system where they send you an email containing a link to a page, which will set a cookie in your browser telling the CAPTCHA to auto-flag you as verified.

Of course, good luck if your browser blocks third-party cookies, you don’t browse in incognito mode, or if your screen reader can interact with the CAPTCHA to get the link in the first place…

Nice! As a former user of their Lemmy instance, I’m glad they’re back on here

Here’s a pro-tip: if something you’re trying to look up is on a Fandom wiki, replace the “fandom.com” domain in the URL with “antifandom.com”. This removes all of the ads and autoplaying videos, and generally makes the page cleaner.

It’s not so simple, unfortunately. The sheer amount of data they have - 212 PB as of December 2021 - makes it practically impossible for most people to mirror. Unless they physically hand over all 745 server nodes to another operator, there’s no way of someone

There are some solutions to this - for example Archive-Team has proposed a method of mirroring the Internet Archive using distributed clients, although this method currently only has a fraction of the total dataset. Still, at this point in time, there’s no real solution to resharing IA’s data in the event they go under

That only helps for shadow libraries whose operators are unknown. The Internet Archive, on the other hand, is a registered non-profit organisation, so how would they be able to hide themselves?
