I take it schools aren't teaching tech literacy. We wouldn't want the kids to get in the way of our overlord marketing agencies.

I don’t think the language should have to do with the comfort of the person delivering death

Petro-masculinity is a brilliant term.

Like a Bosch!

What is the point of a truck you cannot fit a 2x4 in the back?

Keep this quiet, but VPN to UK and sign up for channel 4. They have commercials, but UK does much funnier commercials than across the pond.

For those who think US Army is above this kind of torture.

Docker is a moderately sized step beyond VM.

I might recommend setting up VMs with something easy like VirtuaBox. When you have that figured out move on to Docker.

If your a casual user VMs are likely sufficient.

I'm not quite sure what your hang-up is? Is it the word slave? If that is it, then the employees of Amazon are the wage-slaves that deserve due credit. Where as I might consider myself a slave in the sense that I find myself answering to their bidding.

• Jack up rates, yes master.
• Interrupt us with ads, sure go ahead master
• disrupting buying patterns, always you master

My sense of freedom from Amazon is not up for debate.

So what is your @hogmamma@lemmy.world relationship with Amazon?

A few things

• Amazon years their employees like shit. Pay and treat them properly. Our gadget for $20 less than we can get from another store is subsidized by those workers.

• the commercials on Prime video. I specifically pay to watch shows, and not be interrupted and pitched dish soap. That was the deal

• removing the option of prime delivery will mean I will source my options more fairly to local sellers

In the end, I feel less dirty by not having that option. In the long run, will Amazon serve me better? The enshitification of the internet has taught me the answer will be no.

I cancelled my subscription. I've haven't felt this free in a while. I'm no longer a slave to Amazon.
