This 1000% because you know for fuck sure that some dev in the corner of a building that's going to be the last holdout.

Start planning now with an implementation plan to complete a few months before the contract is set to expire. Plans like these often hit bumps and delays.

Once you're down to the last 5%, tell them "Join or Die".

Fwiw, I've been prime free now for almost three years. If you batch your orders, you can still get free shipping.

Not only that but if you're looking at a high priced item the manufacturer will often ship it for free at the same price as amazon.

I guess the location of the menu never really bothered me but I can understand that for folks who prefer it on the side.

Admittedly, using a local account is a challenge though not impossible. But to your point none of these things should require registry hacks.

I've been using Windows 11 for some time. Besides it's terrible AI features being shoved down our throats, what's different about it from Win10?

I don't see too much of a difference between the two versions. The AI enshittification is relatively recent.

That's when I knew we lost. When power hungry moderators felt threatened and, instead of standing in solidarity with its users, caved to corporate demands.

"But we'll be able to still protest. Every Tuesday."

Hell are those protests still going on? I highly doubt it.

I have a house and a pretty sizable retirement account.

I will GLADLY take a lower home value, higher taxes on my retirement, higher taxes in general, so long as the ultra wealthy are also taxed accordingly.

If I’m going through the trouble of self hosting one, it better be open source.

I'm not opposed to a lemmy-based tracker but will admit I've never made one before.

I have extensive dev experience and would be willing to learn.

My constraints would be time honestly.

I've been saying this for almost a year. Not open AI specifically but any company with a board of directors.

They aren't considering the shareholder value of their most expensive liability: the CEO.

He (because let's face it. It's going to be a he in most cases) is paid millions of dollars with a golden parachute. Literally money that could be given back to shareholders through dividends.

The fact that Boards of Directors aren't doing this could be evidence that they aren't looking out for shareholders' interests

Fwiw they aren't really asking about the motorcycle. I mean they are but they are washing your mouse movements and how fast you click through the images. It's okay to get a few images wrong.

If they raise the price, then they only get money once. If they sell your data, now they have an income stream.

I could see tor browser continuing to be developed. There are enough users who are technical enough to take on a browser project.
