Un grafico (realizzato con LibreOffice) che mostra l'andamento del numero di ordini effettuati su Amazon nel corso degli anni.

Ho ancora molto da fare, ma la tendenza è chiara.
In più, nessun abbonamento ai loro servizi da anni e dismissione progressiva dei dispositivi Echo in corso.

Quando possibile, preferite gli acquisti in negozi fisici, o attraverso piccole realtà online che prediligano qualità, etica e rispetto per lavoratori ed acquirenti.

"Well, we don’t feel threatened." That's the Olim brothers — founders of dot-com online music retailer, CDnow — talking about Amazon. It's from a book they published in 1998 entitled "The CDnow Story: Rags to Riches on the Internet". At the start of '98, they were the leaders in online music retail. But in June 1998 [cue ominous music] Amazon branched out from books and added a Music tab to its fast growing e-commerce website... https://cybercultural.com/p/cdnow-amazon-1998/ #InternetHistory #CDnow #Amazon

Obscene disparities are destabilizing.
As JFK put it: Those who make peaceful revolution impossible make violent revolution inevitable.

The fast-rising energy demands of Big Tech are undermining the ambitious climate pledges that Apple, Amazon, Google, Meta and Microsoft have all made in recent years, according to a report. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/business/2025/06/30/tech/ai-data-center-net-zero/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #business #tech #ai #tech #emissions #netzero #bigtech #environment #climatechange #apple #amazon #google #meta #microsoft

Je propose qu'on arrête d'utiliser #GAFAM et qu'on le remplace par #MAGAM pour insister un peu plus sur le virage autoritaire des #Meta#Apple#Google#Amazon et #Microsoft.

📦 AI at Amazon: a case study of brittleness

｢ Amazon’s traditional viciously customer-focused approach to development was a poor match for the research-style work that was required for developing AI. Rather than Amazon changing the way they worked in order to facilitate the activities of AI researchers, the researchers had to try to fit themselves into Amazon’s pre-existing product model. Ultimately, that effort failed ｣

"But that’s not censorship, right? It’s not like you can’t read the books anymore. You just… can’t own them. They’re not yours. If Jeff Bezos says so, if the government says so, they could all vanish into the ether just. like. that."

I guess quietly deleting 1984 from everyone's Swindle devices wasn't a clear enough warning of the danger of anyone having that power. People kept buying them anyway.

If you haven’t done this yet, I highly recommend you install Libation and liberate your audiobooks from Audible.

It’s been a month since I first learned of this fantastic, free, libre, open-source project from u/darchangel(not sure if they’re on the fediverse). And unlike so many other OSS projects this one is dead simple to use, accessible to the less technical, and very well documented.

I was able to download my entire Audible audiobook library, with included documents, in just minutes.
