Amazon had $220 billion in first party online retail revenue in 2022 $117 billion from 3rd party online retail $80 billion from AWS $37 billion from advertising.

Retail is amazons primary source of revenue.

Historically Amazon has used revenue from other segments to fund new ventures. AWS is profitable now, but it only came to be from the huge numbers that retail posts.

If it was truly the case that retail has no value, it would have been ditched ages ago, but in reality, the retail segment of the company enables other segments to be profitable. High revenue gives you liquidity, and Amazon's vast infrastructure network provides lots of other opportunities for the business.

"If you can't afford nice things, then you deserve to have your things stolen from you."

You are a dick.

Every driver is a racist, that's their job, car racists.

It's not even a preconception, it's willful ignorance, the website itself tells you multiple times that it is not accurate.

The bottom of every chat has this text: "Free Research Preview. ChatGPT may produce inaccurate information about people, places, or facts. ChatGPT August 3 Version"

And when you first use it, a modal pops up explaining the same thing.

You think someone writing custom software can't solve problems?

Also, a 3d printer is just an additive cnc machine, learning how to operate, tweak, tune, write gcode, etc, is an incredibly important skill in manufacturing and r&d, CAD skills are not niche, they are incredibly sought after.

Learning how to use and modify a 3d printer at an early age, as well as learning software development, and practicing connecting disparate systems is one of the best things you could do if you want to become an engineer.

"He can't do back of the envelope calculations, think quickly, or solve problems." This is just made up, completely. That is literally just a fantasy created in your head.

I think you might not understand what a CEO is.

A thousand Tesla's don't do as much damage as the daily 3 axle loaded up dump trucks with no registration driving back and forth all day long.

I was just poking some fun 😊

Includes Alaska but not Hawaii for memorable locations.

Completely disregards Michigan for memorable shapes.

Refers to NYC as a state.

I'm starting to think you may be an imposter.

Bad advice!

There is plenty of malware that targets Linux due to its prevalence in mission critical architecture! Also, someone who is recently returning to desktops and likely new to Linux as a whole will be more likely to blindly run windows executables with a compatibility layer like wine, which can still infect the system.

If you are using Linux, I recommend clamAV.

Edit: to add, recommending Linux to someone as the end all be all to an unrelated question is just needless proselytizing and generally unhelpful.

Forever audits of free software are unsustainable in my opinion.

To truly audit every piece of software, you need an independent party to spend time (often more than the development) to look through the code, that person needs to be equally or more experienced than the developers of the software, and have specific knowledge for vulnerabilities and malicious techniques.

They then need to audit and monitor all of the channels of distribution for that software, including various websites and repositories. This needs to be done constantly.

You effectively need to double or more the total level of effort for all software.

Yes, high profile software (sometimes) gets audited regularly, but the assumption that anything you grab from your package manager has been truly audited leads to a false sense of security, additionally the assumption that an audit being performed means there are no issues with the code also leads to problems.

The reality is that most open source software doesn't get audited because it is too much work.

The closest bus to me is about a 1.5 hour walk, with the path options either being, the side of a 70 mph highway, or the side of 45 mph side roads (no sidewalks).

The bus pass would just take up space in my wallet and nothing more.

I work from home to reduce my car usage dramatically, and already pay annual taxes on the car itself as well as every gallon of gas (in top of standard sales tax) that goes into it. The car is 15 years old and gets over 30mpg.

Your 'easy' solution requires uprooting people's lives dramatically and is, dare I say it, an incredibly naive take on the real problems that the planet, nations, and individual people actually have.

And before you say 'move somewhere with people' I do live where people are, I live in between two of the biggest cities in my state, moving closer to those cities requires a) a huge sum of liquid cash, and b) a huge increase in my cost of living.

Think critically about the world you are in, have perspective about other people's living situations, and have respect for your peers. Blanket solutions are historically ineffective.

Not sure about your budget, but I switched to a udm se and it's pretty awesome, for me the benefit comes in with cameras and access control. the UI and off the shelf tooling is very nice with it.

Opensense is another more diy option.

I used an edge router 4 before the udm for a few years and it was pretty ok.

The Nintendo DS being the second highest selling console ever begs to differ

Them 'supposed to be everywhere' doesn't change that fact that they litter up the sidewalk and use the public areas of my town as a pseudo frontage for their business.

I have no problem with the bike systems that have docs for the bikes, it centralizes the locations and keeps the bike organized.

It's not ignorance, it's a full understanding that they pollute the public areas and already limited walkways in my city.

But they didn't implement rcs, which isn't even new, android messaging has supported rcs for four years. Rcs as a whole is 15 years old.

If the plan was to implement rcs, they could have done that during the phase out of sms. But just removing one of the key features that helped people adopt signal (a feature which no other real messaging app did since the dissolution of Google hangouts), with no plan or consumer messaging about a replacement, and basically no real reasoning communicated to the end user is a pretty bad decision regardless of a 'we know best' mentality.

I think both of those exist, I know the first one does, you just have to enable it in settings, and if I swipe to the left all the way on a post it becomes hidden.

I also wasn't challenging you or anything, I just like to hear what other people want to see if it's something I didn't know I would want.

What features? I want to know if I should want them too, haha.

The dsm-v released a decade ago, what are you talking about?

But you don't actually know what code is running on a given lemmy server. Just because the source is open, doesn't mean that any given server is using the reference implementation, admins could be running whatever they want on their backend.
