The ultimate #Amazon sales tip.
This one weird trick really works.
20+% off on almost everything, all day, every day.
Window-shop on Amazon.
Once your cart is full, start looking at the suppliers/producers of those products.
Find their websites and order your stuff directly from them.
Repeat until your Amazon cart is empty.
Bonus: F**k Jeff Bezos. Support your local businesses.

Amazon is Shameless
Every April, we celebrate Independent Bookstore Day to remind us how vital indie bookstores are to our communities and society. It’s a day of joy and solidarity, and significant financial impact for these bookstores.
This year, Amazon is undercutting that with a “Book Sale” on the same day—a calculated move by a company that has already put half the bookstores in the country out of business, controls over 60% of the market and sells far more books than all indie bookstores combined. The people at Amazon responsible for the timing of their "Book Sale" should be ashamed, but they are shameless.
It's up to us to make sure they don't succeed at spoiling Independent Bookstore Day. Visit your local indie this weekend and help ensure that future generations can experience the sublime pleasure of shopping at a local …

«It’s unusual now to allege that #Walmart or #Amazon are bulwarks of fascism, but back then, seeing bigness as a political alternative to democracy was routine.»
«There is no world in which #Google flourishes as a #monopoly and America flourishes as a political democracy. We must choose. Since the 1970s, we have chosen poorly, and Americans have become more tolerant of authoritarianism in politics, as it just doesn’t seem that different than what they see in commerce.»
Prendete nota di quello che ci racconta @ildisinformatico (io comunque Alexa non la uso)
"Dal 28 marzo prossimo gli assistenti vocali #Alexa di Amazon ➡️ smetteranno di rispettare le scelte di #privacy dei loro utenti.
Lo ha comunicato #Amazon stessa pochi giorni fa, in una mail inviata ad alcuni di questi utenti, ma senza usare parole così chiare."
Amazon ha decidido que a partir de hoy los libros que compran sus clientes sean un poquito menos suyos (no es que antes lo fuesen mucho, tampoco), y yo he decidido que no voy a vender ni un libro más allí 🤷♂️
Además, como intento ser consecuente conmigo mismo, he retirado los tres libros que he escrito de su catálogo, y siguiendo el espíritu colaborativo del Fediverso, los comparto ahora con vosotros de forma gratuita. A continuación os dejo un enlace a disroot para su descarga directa en epub (no hace falta que tengáis cuenta para bajarlos). Cada libro está en una carpeta que contiene el epub, la portada y un pdf con la sinopsis:

Si alguno de los libros os gusta estaré encantado de leer vuestras impresiones. Y si queréis invitarme a un café podéis hacerlo en mi página de Ko-fi ☕:

'How we got stuck: The hunter Monmanecki and his wives can teach Graeber and Wengrow a lesson'
'The Dawn of Everything' argues that human political arrangements got stuck when divine kings and other patriarchal despots began to confuse paternal care with coercive control. Drawing on insights provided by an Amazonian myth, Chris Knight argues that the decisive changes occurred much earlier than Graeber and Wengrow suppose. Gender politics got stuck when patriarchal forms of marriage and residence took over, disconnecting women from their former freedom to choose where to live – a freedom in turn linked with the periodicity of the moon.
Chris will be LIVE in the Daryll Forde, 2nd Floor of UCL Anthropology Dept. Come in …

Ho chiuso il mio account #Amazon #Prime perché sì!
Ho deciso che comprerò dai negozi e da #ecommerce di settore.
Se avete siti da consigliare, ora è il momento giusto. Va bene qualsiasi settore. Se non serve a me può sempre servire a chi passa a leggere.
Fate girare il toot se è possibile, per favore.
Il capitalismo si combatte con le sue stesse armi: i soldi. Non dimenticatelo mai, bambini e bambine.
Surprising: #AbeBooks just had a major frontend refresh. (This is always a scare, because #Amazon.) JavaScript is now required almost everywhere, Stripe resources are loaded on every page. My "saved for later" list briefly vanished but returned on the next load. For now functionality seems preserved, but I don't dare to test my scrapers.

#Schoa-Literatur auf #Amazon verzweifelt gesucht: Mit unserer Publikation des #Auschwitz-Überlebenden Miklós Nyiszli verstießen wir plötzlich gegen Konzern-Richtlinien - und das Buch verschwand. Es folgte eine kafkaeske Korrespondenz, die Einblicke gib in Abläufe, die nicht unterscheiden kann zwischen seriöser Forschungsliteratur und rechtsextremen Auschwitz-Leugnern, deren Werke immer noch verkauft werden.
Martin Krauß berichtet davon in der Jüdischen Allgemeinen:

What are the practical consequences of the #CJEU ruling on C‑21/23 (Lindenapotheke)? Is it effectively illegal for #Amazon to sell non-prescription drugs in Germany now?

Il CEO di Telegram arrestato in Francia, il Brasile che banna Twitter…
ma quando si arriverà a capire che le piattaforme social NON possono essere proprietà di un’unica persona?
Quando la gente smetterà di usare piattaforme centralizzate e chiuse controllate da miliardari come Musk, Bezos, Zuckerberg, Durov?
