Swim across the Atlantic Ocean.

Some particularly popular venues will have parking farther out and run shuttle buses to get people to and from their cars, and it’s just like, you’re so close…

This comment aged like wine.

Aw, that’s a way more mundane answer than I was hoping for, but I appreciate you explaining. (And I find myself doubting that it does much to AI scrapers, yes.)

Hang on, you have successfully thorn-baited me. Are you typing them manually or do you have a macro or something swapping them in? For what purpose are you doing this? Give me your villain monologue.

Thank you!

I’m still trying to get my head around some Fediverse stuff… Why a Mastodon account vs. using my Lemmy account? Aren’t they both supposed to be interoperable with PeerTube?

Even with the automatically generated transcript to get you started, the amount of work already involved in reviewing this transcript is astronomical, and the addition of Wikipedia article links would make an already valuable resource even morevaluables. Thank you so much for putting this together.

I am a big believer in regulation, and some governments right now are in a position where they can be pressured to take anti-monopoly action against Amazon, which I want very much to see. Being in the U.S. as I am right now, though… There are some state governments I would like to see act (and shout-out to California for doing so here), but I am also brainstorming other nonviolent disruptive action which could be taken, because the federal government right now is actual fascists and Amazon is in league with them.

I was looking over instances sorted by uptime, saw one that had high uptime, a lot of users, and a literal promise that shit will just work in its name. I did a bit of scoping to see that it was easy to view communities across all instances from SJW and figured, fuck it, seems like as good a choice as any.

I think it depends, but considering pure practicality, horses tend to require a fair amount of pasture and food that an electric “horse” wouldn’t. You can’t just leave a horse in a garage for a few months.

Yeah, exactly.

My first reaction: LOL. LMAO, even.

My second reaction: … Wait, this could actually be really useful if it’s actually functional and affordable though.

I’m not holding my breath, but like, in theory this could actually be really good?

Frustrating, but I appreciate your answer; thank you.

Why is “(most favored nation status)” in parentheses?

I have often wondered whether targeted internet boycott days would shake up AWS, but I don’t know enough about their billing structure to run the numbers to see how much that would dig into AWS profits + how much of their income is flat subscription fees vs. billing on number of calls and haven’t had a chance to dig into it yet.

The other commenters here are right about Amazon’s initial methods, but I’m also going to highly recommend Cory Doctorow’s Enshittification for a detailed explanation of how this happens (including a breakdown on Amazon specifically) and what to do about it.

1. Rule #1.
2. I doubt the Mozilla Foundation is particularly aware of this platform, but you can always request a product receive a privacy review using this link.

Thank you!

It’s not quite the movie/documentary you are looking for, but I have seen https://leavingmaga.org/ spread around.
