Can anyone here help me find the sign-up page for #Amazon prime? I really do like the convenience.


Jeff Bezos has caved in to fascism by forbidding his Washington Post editorial staff from endorsing Kamala Harris in a likely quid pro quo with Mango Mussolini.

Jeff Bezos engaged in illegal union-busting tactics, spending over $14 million in 2022 alone to undercut his employees' rights.

Jeff Bezos spent $500 million to build his personal floating mansion Koru, the tallest sailing yacht in the world that is so big, it has its own 250-foot support yacht.

Jeff Bezos, executive chairman of Amazon, extorts 50% of revenue from sellers on the monopolistic retail website Amazon.com.

Jeff Bezos this year bought his *fourth* private jet for $80 million, a Gulfstream G700 luxury business jet that travels near the speed of sound. Bezos’ plane made 28 flights in 39 days — leaving a carbon footprint of 264 tons, or 17 times what the average American emits in a year.

Jeff Bezos, as reported by ProPublica, filed a tax return in 2011 showing he lost money and received a $4,000 child tax credit from the US government during a year in which his wealth held steady at $18 billion.

I can go on and on, but how many reasons do you need to boycott anything he touches?

Cancel your Washington Post subscription. Cancel your Amazon Prime membership. Boycott Amazon.

You have alternatives. Don't feed the beast.

I need to write about something that’s painful to put out there for me, but I need to because I know there are other people also in my position. Also apologies for the thread. I’ve seen a huge amount of calls in the past day for people to cancel their #AmazonPrime in response to the #WaPo chickening out and not endorsing Kamala Harris. In principle, I do not disagree. At all. But for me, there’s one huge, and ultimately insurmountable, problem. #Amazon has become a necessity for me. (1/3)


Amazon.com Keyboard Shortcuts... I just noticed that Amazon.com now has a few built in keyboard shortcuts. I am using Jaws and the Google Chrome browser. Please note, with Jaws, you do not have to turn off the virtual cursor or any changes have to be made. The keyboard shortcuts just work! Here are the shortcuts. ALT+/, Go to search. Shift+alt+C, go to cart. Shift+alt+H, go to home. Shift+alt+O, go to list of orders. That's it. Some is better than nothing. I know I will be using them! Happy shopping. #Amazon #Windows #Jaws #Keyboard #Shortcuts #Blind #Accessible

I'm in the process of moving to #ServaRICA. They're in #Montreal, but still have excellent connectivity to #Ottawa. If you're wondering why I moved from one provider you've never heard of to another provider you've never heard of: I insist on hosting in #Canada, and I refuse to host with big teck like #Google or #Amazon. I don't know the guys at ServaRICA, but...they seem...fine I guess. Then again, I was thrilled with #accuris for years. So I dunno.


#Amazon has started creating auto-generated #AI reviews. The review for my @scarfolk book says that it's "full of fun, fascinating articles for children".

Would that be the book that I designed around cult brainwashing techniques and contains images of dead & disfigured kids?

Added a "2 month update" section to my blog post about #Amazon bricking my kindle and reading at least 26 books on the Kindle Paperwhite I bought to replace it.

tl;dr: I regret buying a paperwhite instead of the Kobo Libra Color.

Produktdatenblätter werden auf #amazon werden wohl von einer #KI ausgefüllt oder von Affen mit Wurfpfeilen generiert. Ein Monitor soll "handbetrieben" sein und einen Akku haben, der 2 g wiegt, aber 2 kWh Kapazität hat.


What fresh hell is this? it seems as a screen reader user, I am now barred from accessing Amazon on a new browser. It's prompting me to fill a visual CAPTCHA with no accessible alternatives on offer. Come on Amazon! Of all companies you should know better. This is a shameful disgrace! Do Better !!! #amazon #a11y

The American Dialect Society has announced that its 2023 Word of the Year is "Entshittification". 💩

The decline in quality of service and content from #google and #amazon is plain to see, but this doesn't need to be the future of the internet. 🤖

Even as the Republican Attorneys General Association has leaned further into promoting Trumpism and sowing doubt about U.S. elections, major sponsors including #Amazon, #Walmart and #HomeDepot have resumed their contributions to the group.
