FLAC is going strong I'd say. MP3s are a different matter where you can only find the most popular stuff and some incredible niche stuff. The coverage is piss poor. Further I'd say it's equally YouTube that killed music piracy (in the scene sense). Anyone can just run a YouTube downloader and find just about any song they're interested in. And if you think they quality of that sucks then you can find most of the lossless stuff in scene releases.

It does, but the thinking here is that the dasher basically loses money taking no tip orders. Which in my Nordic mind is a fucked up business model. A living wage should be the minimum requirement.
Quite a lot of adult cartoons have a violent Santa. South Park, Family Guy, American Dad have all had Santa with a gun episodes.
It's just the cheapest type of drive there is. The use case is in large scale RAIDs where one disk failing isn't a big issue. They tend to have decent warranty but under heavy load they're not expected to last multiple years. Personally I use drives like this but I make sure to have them in a RAID and with backup, anything else would be foolish. Do also note that expensive NAS drives aren't guaranteed to last either so a RAID is always recommended.
Yes it absolutely is impossible (even though it shouldn't be) so regulation is needed to make being a bag of dicks illegal or disadvantaged (like say the safety labeling on cigarettes, they're legal if they're labeled but no company would willingly label out that their product is dangerous).
Amazon can provide better prices and fuck over their sellers because they're being major douchebags in ways that shouldn't be legal and if it wasn't competing with them would be much more feasible because you wouldn't have to be just as much of a shitstain to compete.
But. Around the world people aren't really voting for regulations either, it's generally neck and neck between forces that wants far less regulation and more power to business and the ones that want more regulation and to reign in companies. So what I state here as obvious and needed is a hot topic for debate which blows my mind. We're callous fucking beings.
EDIT:
To answer your initial question, because it's the morally right thing to do to show solidarity with people that are effectively forced to work in shitty conditions in Amazon warehouses and to stop them killing smaller stores and retailers that provide far more jobs, spread wealth far more evenly and generally is vastly better for both the country and the world even though it might cost you 10-60% more on average and will be less convenient to you.

Also to clarify I'm not saying you're a bad person, you're absolutely not from what I can tell. You're just human like everyone. I'm not without fault and buy shit I really shouldn't as well, like stuff out of china when bespoke alternatives exist far closer. It's just painfully obvious with your story that we, the people, can't self regulate for the benefit of our fellow humans and the planet we all depend upon. Sorry for ranting towards you, and for any ill feelings I bestowed upon you.
"Couldn't"
It's very obvious that consumers are completely unable to "vote with their wallets" for anything but convenience and low prices. Workers rights, equality, morals you name it are for the vast majority waaaaaay down the scale compared to price and convenience.
This is a case study on why regulation is very much needed, even though we really should be able to do with out.
I feel the only thing they do well in my area is provide safer access to random bits and bobs that I buy from AliExpress. But that business is not what makes them rich, of course. It's people buying everything from them, but that that is even compelling is mind blowing to me due to how atrocious their website and shopping experience is. And I work in e-Commerce as well...
You're speaking like there literally aren't any online retailers in the US, is that really accurate? And question free returns are literally the law here...
Are other online retailers so hopelessly sucky that you can't live without Amazon over in the states? It just blows my mind because Amazon honestly sucks compared to the more local stores where I'm at in the Nordics.
Sure, but if you proxy both in and outgoing then your SPF record should of course point to your VPS and thus again not be a problem.
We have more stuff than SPF checks these days because they're wholely inadequate alone. DNSSEC, DKIM and DMARC are all important in their own right if you want a secure mail server.
That said I also don't agree with your example, because you assume a proxy for outgoing which I see no real need for. Generally speaking you proxy incoming traffic due to CGNAT making port exposure on a residential IP unfeasible. Further SPF checks will always use the actual IP source not what's in a X header.
Cool, I'd be compelled to try but I think I'd need a guide on how to replace my current mail server with this one with as little fuzz as possible. Since I already have DKIM, DMARC, SPF, DANE and MTA-STS setup I'd need some help in sorting out what steps I have to take to make sure the switch is seemless to any sender.
Further I can't really seem to get a good grasp on if there's a webmail client or not?
