  • 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.




  • After the install. Create admin and user accounts not tied to ms. Use the user account normally, and when you need admin you enter the second account details.

    Use Sophia script to clean up all the advert apps bundled with win11.

    I wish I could find a script to remove the advert features from edge for when I have to office. Mozilla Firefox is your day to day browser.

    Use chocolatey.org to install ur apps. When you do updates, one command can do it all.

    Check start-up scripts, and ensure there is nothing that doesn’t need to be there. Teams no, zoom also no.
