Candles on the Christmas tree. This should be titled: Before

What is more annoying?

  • having some asshole leaning over the bench blowing smoke in your face, trying to hit on you, while your in mourning, and you're crying cause your world is being torn apart.

  • or the asshole, who breaks out a sketch pad and starts drawing the situation

Docker is a moderately sized step beyond VM.

I might recommend setting up VMs with something easy like VirtuaBox. When you have that figured out move on to Docker.

If your a casual user VMs are likely sufficient.

I'm not quite sure what your hang-up is? Is it the word slave? If that is it, then the employees of Amazon are the wage-slaves that deserve due credit. Where as I might consider myself a slave in the sense that I find myself answering to their bidding.

  • Jack up rates, yes master.
  • Interrupt us with ads, sure go ahead master
  • disrupting buying patterns, always you master

My sense of freedom from Amazon is not up for debate.

So what is your @hogmamma@lemmy.world relationship with Amazon?

[-] willybe@lemmy.ca 1 points 10 months ago

A few things

  • Amazon years their employees like shit. Pay and treat them properly. Our gadget for $20 less than we can get from another store is subsidized by those workers.

  • the commercials on Prime video. I specifically pay to watch shows, and not be interrupted and pitched dish soap. That was the deal

  • removing the option of prime delivery will mean I will source my options more fairly to local sellers

In the end, I feel less dirty by not having that option. In the long run, will Amazon serve me better? The enshitification of the internet has taught me the answer will be no.

I can completely respect your perspective. Yes I was being short when I made this comment, no offense to the op was intended.

To patronize a service because its good does not imply loyalty.

Apple has a long history of being manipulative and exploitative of their customers. Being loyal to them (from my perspective) is like being loyal to an abusive person. You obey their commands not because of respect, but because you feel an emotional bond to them.

Great graphic, this needs to be a t-shirt

Yeah, I can understand how a group like the Sikh population in India, or the Quebecois in Quebec would like to be away from a government telling them how to do things.

I also agree, in Canada at least, that we are better together. Learning to live with our differences will make us stronger.

Yes those problems do exist, and considering the conservatives position on these matters, we have work to do.

But I'm happy with our immigration policies, improvements are needed for sure.

I think racism is an issue, and there are many great examples of how as a country we rise above it.

Lack of compassion is a significant problem for sure, the drug addled population are losing the fight against addiction.
The indigenous nations have been treated poorly for sure. That is our nations shame.

But I believe passionately that being a woman, minority, or a transgendered person, Canada is the safest country and there are plenty of opportunities to thrive. And that goes for the rest of us cis-gendered, anglo-caucasians as well.

+1 for Jesus. Way to go, few more miracles like this and maybe I'll think about joining your cult.
