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

This week, TON Foundation announced that it’s forged a partnership with Tencent Cloud, which has “already successfully supported TON validators and plans to expand its services further to help meet TON’s high compute intensity and network bandwidth needs.” Validators, in web3 lingo, are participants that help authenticate transactions in a blockchain network.

It looks like the partnership with Tencent only extends to their Web3 blockchain thing, and there doesn’t seem to be any partnership in the main app so it’s not the end of the world - at least, for now.

Also, what even is this TON blockchain? I never knew Telegram had anything to do with crypto :/

Hasn’t the founder been a vocal critic of Russia for years, including the Ukraine war? I don’t really see why that would be a concern, especially since Telegram is supposedly owned by a US LLC

Yeah, except EMPRESS was just complaining that her own torrents got deleted, not that others were unsafe
