I take it schools aren’t teaching tech literacy. We wouldn’t want the kids to get in the way of our overlord marketing agencies.

I don’t think the language should have to do with the comfort of the person delivering death

Thanks Sagifurious, this person knows his trucks. But provides little to the conversation with their straw man fallacies, and troll like rebuttals.

What is the point of a truck you cannot fit a 2x4 in the back?

Keep this quiet, but VPN to UK and sign up for channel 4. They have commercials, but UK does much funnier commercials than across the pond.

For those who think US Army is above this kind of torture.

Docker is a moderately sized step beyond VM.

I might recommend setting up VMs with something easy like VirtuaBox. When you have that figured out move on to Docker.

If your a casual user VMs are likely sufficient.

I’m not quite sure what your hang-up is? Is it the word slave? If that is it, then the employees of Amazon are the wage-slaves that deserve due credit. Where as I might consider myself a slave in the sense that I find myself answering to their bidding.

• Jack up rates, yes master.
• Interrupt us with ads, sure go ahead master
• disrupting buying patterns, always you master

My sense of freedom from Amazon is not up for debate.

So what is your @hogmamma@lemmy.world relationship with Amazon?

A few things

• Amazon years their employees like shit. Pay and treat them properly. Our gadget for $20 less than we can get from another store is subsidized by those workers.

• the commercials on Prime video. I specifically pay to watch shows, and not be interrupted and pitched dish soap. That was the deal

• removing the option of prime delivery will mean I will source my options more fairly to local sellers

In the end, I feel less dirty by not having that option. In the long run, will Amazon serve me better? The enshitification of the internet has taught me the answer will be no.

I cancelled my subscription. I’ve haven’t felt this free in a while. I’m no longer a slave to Amazon.

Think of the children. That poor Thirteen yo boy who doesn’t have the luxury of Sears catalogs on the coffee table. Or hustler magazines on display in every corner store. He just wants the see a pair of boobies /s

I’m surprised this had to be said. 6 days before the balots are ordered.

The conflict aside, WIX is a corporation with strong political and theological roots. Even if the technology is good, choosing that platform comes with baggage.

I can completely respect your perspective. Yes I was being short when I made this comment, no offense to the op was intended.

To patronize a service because its good does not imply loyalty.

Apple has a long history of being manipulative and exploitative of their customers. Being loyal to them (from my perspective) is like being loyal to an abusive person. You obey their commands not because of respect, but because you feel an emotional bond to them.

I was getting more Ringo Starr vibes.

reduces my loyalty to the platform

Uh? Wow! Way to show them bastards. ;)

Also, I’m not sure if IA’s purpose is to get a around a pay wall. That might be considered violating copywrite.
