i switched to #libro.fm ~two years ago or so when i became aware of the #audible stealing #authors cash drama. been re-buying all my #books as they come available on libro, re-stocking my library. and, honestly, there has been zero problems since the switch, maybe i'm just lucky that my main authors has switched too. as i think this service is superior to audible in every way that matters. they even have practical support for account sharing!!!
Okay, there’s a lot to unpack in this story, so hang with me here. For the past month or so, Americans and American businesses have been stuck in tariff hell. Blanket and additional tariffs i…
Amazon is going to be disabling the privacy feature that processes voice commands locally on Echo devices at the end of this month. Instead, all voice commands will be sent to Amazon's cloud for processing.
I have already followed my own steps to remediate this:
FYI for the resistance. #Resist #Amazon #Coup Edit: I personally do not use Amazon, but thought other people might be interested in sharing this with family and friends. I got a lot of judgey replies here like oh if you were really on our side you wouldn't be using Amazon in the first place. Yes, cancelling Prime would be ideal and I mention that to my friends who still use it, but I try not to be a jerk. If you are trying to persuade people to your side--don't be a jerk.
I've seen several posts claiming that #Amazon is removing the ability to download #Kindle books to a computer, without an important qualifier: It only applies to physical Kindle owners.
They're specifically removing the ability to download an AZW file that you can then copy to a Kindle reader over USB. If you've never owned a physical Kindle device, or don't own one right now, this option will already be unavailable.
As far as I'm aware, the ability for Kindle for PC/Mac to download KFX files to your computer isn't being removed. Whether these files meet your needs or not is a different matter, but the ability to download Kindle books in any capacity is not going away.
Designed for downloading your Kindle eBooks in a more automated fashion than is typically permitted, this tool allows you to create backup copies of the books you've already purchased. - treetr...
More "enshittification". This time from Amazon. Amazon is pulling a Google, killing off popular services. Evidently, I have until 25th February to download my 708 books that I have purchased from them. After the 25th you can no longer download YOUR books for backup or transfer via USB
Good job I did this 2 years ago eh? Buy the books from elsewhere.
Online retail giant Amazon is pulling out of Quebec, a spokesperson confirmed to CTV News. The company says it will cease operations over the next two months in various centres and facilities.
Mai come in questi giorni è importante dare un segnale forte contro meta e amazon
Abbandonare i loro social ora e subito e non contribuire mai più alla valanga di disinformazione e odio che gira nelle loro piattaforme. Le alternative del #fediverso non mancano, non sono perfette ma migliorano ogni anno, consigliamo:
Los Centros Especiales de Empleo, al tener convenio propio como CEE, legalizan en nombre de la #inclusión peores condiciones frente a compas del sector: Trabajadores con #discapacidad del centro de #Amazon en El Prat de Llobregat se rebelan contra la sobrecarga de trabajo. El 40% están de baja por las duras condiciones laborales. La Inspección de Trabajo ha abierto procedimiento sancionador contra #Ilunion (perteneciente a la #ONCE) lee.eldiario.es/euq #derechoslaborales #explotacionlaboral
El sindicato CCOO denuncia que un 40% de los empleados de Ilunion dentro de la planta de El Prat, la mayor de la compañía en España, están de baja por las duras condiciones laborales
#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.
