First search result I get for “Amazon warehouse accident rate”: https://www.cnbc.com/2023/04/12/study-amazon-workers-serious... Amazon is also notorious about exploiting workers. I seriously doubt you’ve neve

There are no Amazon warehouses in Switzerland. There is actually no Amazon Switzerland. It’s all drop shipped from elsewhere in Europe because the conditions are more favorable to Amazon there I suppose. I never said galaxus was a workers p

The packaging is a very small part of it. I’m talking about the logistics, destroying/incinerating returns, shipping whatever commingled crap and then having insane return rates (which are then destroyed)… not to mention the societal i

The cynic in me thinks this is 100% working as intended if you view school (especially before university) as an industrial sssembly line to produce the obedient little workers of the future. By making kids “accept” to be arbitrarily graded

That’s presumptuous. He didn’t make a product I find useful, and a dollar more he makes will be used to squeeze a tiny bit more out of those he employs and/or out of society for his own benefit. I’m not enabling that as much as I can.

And I personally don't use gmail, block all ads on YT, etc. I avoid all these when practical and possible, rather than throwing my arms up in the air. Doesn't mean I never use their services, but I do my best not to.

What's not to hate? Exploiting workers, union busting, tax evasion, waste, pollution...

Anything else. I live in Switzerland and prefer to use galaxus, Migros, inter discount, mueller, foletti, or buy second hand. Absolutely anything I can to not buy from Amazon even if the alternative is 10–15% more expensive.

I don’t have to contribute to it, as much as I can help it.

You don’t need guns to kill a class of people. Just low/no opportunities, drastically reduced income, etc will make the problem take care of itself: the class you’re targeting this way will slowly stop having/keeping children, liv

I like pandora so much better than Spotify but it’s very difficult to purchase and access out of the us. Their recommendations and ui are so much better, it’s a shame.

soulseek has a looooot of music. Even obscure tracks or albums. Lossless, lossy, anything.

S is such a disaster that I have established a personal policy of staying away from S and never buying their things (TV fridges phones SSDs printers… anything they make). This policy has drastically improved my sanity. They produce expensiv

Kagi partially does that. I lt shows how many trackers a result has on its results page and lets you boost or downgrade domains in your search results.

I use twiiit.com (and have a rule in kagi to replace twitter.com with twiiit.com in search results) It uses a random nitter instance each time.

I mean they don’t work well. At all. I get graphical glitches in gnome, it crashes GPU accelerated browser tabs, my logs are full of “FAULT_PTE ACCESS_TYPE_READ” errors, it freezes the displays for 30 seconds seemingly randomly. And that’s

Speaking of that, is there a resource to figure out what GPUs work well in Linux? I loathe my workstation that is running a nvidia Quadro P620, the proprietary drivers are a joke… Looking to switch but it’s very hard to figure out the optio

This sounds pretty much like my Panasonic OLED. I don’t think they sell them in North America though. It’s all the things you want: has no ads anywhere, turns on in a couple seconds from standby, has a great image (they say it’s used in Hol

Any chance you’ll ship to Switzerland soon? Our only options are to ship it to Germany or France, go pick it up, pay import fees and taxes on top of the country’s 20% VAT, and then be denied warranty because delivering to a pick up address

I don’t think insurers really care either. They just pass the cost on to the insured and because all insurers have the same risk in aggregate, they all raise premiums. We get screwed because we pay more but the insurance companies are doing

100gb of ebooks? I’ve used kindles and kobos for a decade at this point and I don’t think I have 8gb of ebooks. At a few mb per, 100gb is centuries of reading. Unless it’s comic books?

They’ve invested a lot in making people forget and improve their image. GitHub, VSCode, WSL, typescript… I feel old remembering a time when Microsoft was openly evil (“Linux is cancer”) and I’m not even 40. I think the new generation only k
