Today I received a letter in the snail mail asking for a 5-star review for an #Amazon order in exchange for a $20 gift card.

It really made me mad. I know sellers' game the reviews, but this irked me. It took a long time to figure out how to report them.

I also gave a review with an image of the letter letting people know not to trust the reviews.

After more than 2 decades of using Amazon, this is the first snail mail pay to review letter I have received.

UGH! Please don't do fake reviews.

I don't understand why when I order something on #Amazon. on the product page it says get it tomorrow get it tomorrow. But then when I actually check out it says it'll be delivered on Tuesday. I don't know why they do that, but it's damn frustrating!

Chinese shopping app Temu has exploded to the top of U.S. app stores. But it’s burning money and squeezing its suppliers to a breaking point in a bid to take on Amazon.

I really need to know what this excerpt is from. It's my kind of fucking dialogue.

It's possible it's microfic, but the original filename implied it was a screenshot from an #Amazon #Kindle book.

OK, now I'm totally sold. Turns out that because of my history of building open source projects, I get to use #github #copilot for free. Kind of hard to beat that deal. I am definitely going to hype this project, even though I know some are not happy with it.

I can't believe how easy it is to get stuff done.

@cavac @randomgeek @ovid “Neural processing units” have been happening for years, e.g., the “Neural Engine” in #Apple SoCs since 2017.

#Google, #Samsung, #Intel, #Nvidia, #Amazon, and others have also designed their own. They’re faster for #MachineLearning tasks than a #GPU and more energy-efficient.

I'm seeing a LOT more "this is a good way to get fired" chatter than the last time AECJ organized a lunchtime walkout in 2019, which is it's own signal about current culture at #amazon https://www.washingtonpost.com/technology/2023/05/22/tech-layoffs-amazon-walk-out-meta/

Finally found an English language bookstore (in Milan) that sells used books in English (and is close enough to the Duomo that I can sometimes get there after work).

More than buying books, it finally seems I have a place to donate my used books, which will be a relief for our bookshelves 😉

People are shocked when I tell them there is no similar bookstore in Bologna (a university town through and through.) Welcome to the world Amazon has created.

Anyone considered that #Facebook taking the name #Barcelona may just be the most dirty #SEO #GrowthHacking trick?

(Unless it is just a codename, and their product will have a different name)

Like Jeff's #Amazon did before. Taking away oxygen from the rainforest in times that it was still often in the news, because we cared about its health. Now a corporation is more popular online than the rainforest once named "the lungs of the earth".

So the new Instagram text thing is reported to have ActivityPub support and instead of being happy at all the new labor that could potentially be coming to the standard, Mastodon people are now actively encouraging instances to not federate with any of that stuff. K.

koherecoWatchdog,

@film_girl
There are multiple virtues in play here. Consider that I boycott #Microsoft for 50+ reasons. Let’s say MS wants to do something good & they make changes so 5 of the reasons I boycott them go away. Well I’m still boycotting MS for 45+ other reasons. FB, #Cloudflare, MS, #Amazon, Twitter, etc, are socially detrimental & abuse the data they get their hands on to the full extent possible.

A New Richmond, #Ohio high #school staff member won't face charges after mistakenly sending students link to sex toy

Shortly after sending the email, the staff member rushed to the school's resource officer and principal to report that he'd unintentionally sent a link copied from #Amazon to the students

The #email was sent predominantly to students in the senior class

The IT dept couldn't recall it as students had already opened the email
