What I'd like to know is: has anyone ever sued Amazon for this? There seems to be plenty of evidence for a massive class action suit. They are knowingly and intentionally screwing sellers and customers alike.

Do you think these are all accidents? Read what I wrote. The intent is clearly there. If Hitler said "I'm not going to kill any Jews" while murdering a million Jews, would you believe he didn't have the intent to kill th

What Israel is doing checks the first and third items in your list. They kill members of the group, and not just in Gaza; in the Westbank, it's common for illegal settlers to attack Palestinian towns, including killing people. The IDF

They're not "murdering an entire population"; although many thousands of Palestinians have been killed, it's still a tiny percentage of the total population. But it's not necessary to murder an entire population for

As far as I'm aware, the background of the 1953 coup was oil. The democratic government of Iran want to nationalize the oil industry, and western oil companies did like that. On top of that, Iran was willing to do business with the USS

Israel's attack wasn't entirely unprovoked; Iran frequently calls for attacks on Israel, wiping them from the face of the earth, and funding organizations that attack Israel. The fear that they might use nuclear weapons offensivel

It already was before, and it's doubly true now. There's always been tension between the EU's and the US's view on privacy and data protection, and it's only getting worse.

Great how he calls out the "shove these ethical concerns up your ass" argument. That's not the kind of thing to brush aside like that. In general, I really appreciate how Ludic gives some much needed pushback against the AI h

I don't think GP meant 10-15 Starships missions needed to carry the same payload, but 10-15 test launches necessary before it's ready for real. I think the Saturn V had only two test flights before it took people around the moon.

Good leds are extremely durable and should last far longer than anything else, but it seems like there are also a lot of crappy leds on the market. But it's also important that leds receive the right amount of power. If they receive to

I didn't know it was in beta, but I'm using their launcher. It's mostly great, except for widgets, which it frequently loses. But I can have way more icons on my homescreen than I used to have.

It's nearly impossible to find good, honest apps on the play store anymore. Everything is loaded with ads, in-app purchases, spyware, and wants way more permissions than it needs. Google is making it more and more attractive to complet

I'm very happy with their galley and messaging app. They're absolutely perfect. I think I also have their launcher, but it regularly seems to lose my widgets. No idea why that's happening, but I clearly need to shop around a

Everything Android seems to be increasingly enshittified these days. I switched to Fossify gallery because I don't want my photos synced with google Photos anymore. When my default Messenger suddenly demanded access to my Google accoun

I've recently started using several Fossify apps from F-Droid, mostly because it's become impossible to find good non-enshittified apps on Google Play anymore. I don't know if Fossify is the best, but it seems to be a pretty

The best argument I've heard for why LLMs aren't there yet, is that they don't have a real world model. They only interact with text and images, and not with the real world. They have no concept of the real world, and therefo

The best orange juice is still freshly squeezed. Although if orange production is crippled by that disease, fresh oranges might also be harder to find.

Exactly. In this particular case, it was fun because I recognised the problem and had/took the freedom to get to the bottom of this and fix it as thoroughly as I could. I could easily have decided to accept that the big import process

While I totally agree this is a ridiculous way to tax corporations, to my (probably very limited) understanding, it looks like this might actually be less bad for growing startups, because they don't make much money during their first

I hear a lot of good stuff about Claude Code lately, but before, it was all about Copilot or Cursor. And some options are a lot cheaper than others. Is Claude Code so much better now? I admit I have no idea what the real differences are. Ev

Everything about the current US government is wild. Yes, cancelling government contracts because of this stupid fight is corruption, but so is everything else. There's not much that either Trump or Musk do that's not corrupt. I&#x

Wait, salary costs do not count as costs for the year they're made in? That is completely nuts, no matter what kind of company you have. Although for a startup it might be least bad, because for their first few years, their revenue mig
