It is a shame it is always the same companies. I can only boycott them once.
maybe it helps your conscience but it's not going to affect any of these massive corporations. it won't make a dent in their revenue and they will go on oblivious to your 'protest'. if you want to make a difference, the only way is [redacted]. when are ya'll gonna figure this out?
Another reason to buy things directly from the manufacturer rather then from Amazon. It's generally cheaper as well.
Hahahaha!
Its funny how these corpos were praised when they raised the LGBT colors, back then they were the moral compas of the western societies, now they're "fascist".
Maybe people won't forget that the companies would do anything in order to increase profits. They never cared about anyone rights, else they wouldn't use slave labor in southeast Asia, or Sub-Saharan Africa.
They'll kiss whatever ring they need to kiss. The only moral these people have is "number go up". Fuck this planet.
The cooperation of capital and government is an integral part of fascist regimes. They where never your friends and have no ideology beyond their profits by any means.
How do I leave AWS?
I use S3, EC2, SNS (or whatever they call it now), email, cloudfront
I want the same fast servers and CDN. I can probably pay someone else for email and sms services
You learn how to hack multiple other services together, and you coordinate with multiple third parties + their different applications. There are no other feature complete competitors. The S in AWS is what defined it. The AW part doesn't matter; anyone can do that with enough cash, effort, and skill. Welcome to the global monopoly, thank you for your support by using AWS.
Not sure if DigitalOcean stacks up in similar ways or not. Also not sure what their politics are.
I'd be curious about options as well.
Remember when Bezos pretended to be in opposition to Trump? That was nice while it lasted.
Amazon has always been worse for me in terms of delovery times and service anyway. I only order shit there that I otherwise need to get from Aliexpress or whatever
Wait, rainbow capitalism wasn't sincere?
I left the Amazon ecosystem a couple of years ago because fuck Bezos and it wasn't a big deal, really. Accumulating stuff is a mindset I could reason myself out of. I call it the power of No, thank you. I buy mostly second hand now and it's so calming. Saves me money as well.
Okie-dokie.
I guess I can delete "slow down if I see Jeff Bezos crossing the street" from my policies.
we advocate for policies designed to remove barriers to equity
Holy shit that’s the most corpo speak “we don’t believe in affirmative action” policy I’ve ever heard
