@redvers @pauldjohnston it (sadly) doesn’t make much difference these days, as it seems Amazon intermingles 3rd party stock in its warehouses, which might be counterfeit.

They had a choice between being the brand with trusted supply chain, and taking every cent possible from both buyers and sellers (leading to @doctorow )

Ironically this makes Amazon Essentials more trustworthy than brand names, as there’s no chance for shenanigans

Chrome privacy question.

If you have it installed as all phones are forced to, is it necessary to use to suffer from its abuse, or does it do evil in the background regardless?

@farrisswisher @cjrando Please do give a shot. As has been mentioned many times before, the existing corporate platforms is inevitable, and accelerating. We really need to be using and promoting alternatives to free more people from that hell, which is what you're already doing here on the

Very interesting article on the decline of retail. I think the author makes some excellent points on what amounts to poor management strategy and general .

However, the author glosses offer the author glosses over the root cause of filthy rich CEOs making short sighted decisions to please Wall Street billionaires and venture capital vampires sucking the companies dry.

Well after 16 years on the bird site I stated I was moving to Mastodon. Then I noticed some advice to remove the media in your feed. Haven’t been on the site for a long time and when I got there all followers and those followed is gone, zip, nada, zero. Here it states why. I broke the rules. Oh Elon you have such a subtle way of showing what you value - yourself and nothing else. Being on Mastodon has been and continues to be the best outcome.

Linked in is even worse now. Remember that recruiter you connected with a few years ago for a job opportunity? Yeah, me neither.

Well, now you have to see all of his non-career related likes about the unconditional love of dogs.

I quit Facebook to get away from this kind of trite bullshit from people whom I care about and are actually in my life.

I can't quit because it is a career necessity. So the trite bullshit will continue to flow.

The continues.

@pluralistic Just a question: After police rammed a climate protest at burning man (and as far as i know it was local police, called by visitors of the festival) and pointed a gun at a climate protestor, are you still comfortable to appear at that event?

Woah there yourself, Adobe, kiss my ass 🤬

I don't even want to use this sorry excuse for a cash grab but a coworker wants me to download a specific image from Adobe Stock. Which I can't just download to my hard drive because that would be too easy. No, you have to have Adobe software installed just to access the image. at it again.

@sterzi Nein.

Twitter war schon lange vor Elon Musk »ziemlich schwierig«; unter Jack Dorsey, der das nicht verbessern konnte. Ich habe keine Anhaltspunkte, daß er das bei (derzeit ein Invite-only-Club) besser macht/machen will.

Und dann haben wir immer wieder gesehen (z.B. Meta/Facebook/Instagram/#Threads, zuletzt und Reddit), daß kommerzielle, geschlossene, monopolartige Systeme im Laufe der Zeit immer nutzerfeindlicher werden, weil sie, wenn sie erstmal genug Nutzer angelockt haben, erst auf die Werbekunden optimieren (und die Nutzer somit leiden) und danach auf ihren eigenen Gewinn (was auch die Werbekunden leiden läßt). Cory Doctorow hat das unter dem Begriff »« sehr umfangreich ausgeführt: pluralistic.net/2023/01/21/pot

Für mich bleiben nur dezentrale, offene, freie Systeme übrig, wo man selbst den Grad der Abhängigkeit bestimmen und ändern kann. (Z.B. ist einschränkender als Calckey/Firefish; und dann kommt es auf die gewählte, wechselbare Instanz an.)

c'est nouveau cette connerie chez leboncoin de t'afficher dans ta recherche un résultat sur deux à l'état "vendu" et un quart à l'état "vente en cours" donc pas dispo... genre, qu'est-ce qu'on peut bien en avoir à foutre?

ou alors c'est un dark pattern à la con de pour te pousser à acheter vite vite vite (puisque bon, visiblement ça vend comme des petits pains, même si on sait pas si et quand ça a été vraiment vendu)
