Billionaires putting money above basic human decency is actually a pretty reasonable thing to get emotional about, imo
Oh, yeah, I’m just being incredibly sarcastic
Exactly, its just business! Take the emotion out of it. /s
Ayn Rand is leaking
USA is literally an evil genocidal empire. It has always installed and support disgusting tyrants. Anybody who thinks that one murdered journalist changes anything is really clueless. They've literally murdered hundreds of journalists in Palestine and nobody says shit. Hegemony completely supports this. Always has been.
if the journalist didn't want to get murdered, he shouldn't have been guilty of...... something. I'm sure he was guilty of something. What can we say he was guilty of? yeah, that. /s
Americans stopped caring about that murder within 24 hours when the news cycle told them to be mad at something else
The mask is fully off now. They’re seizing power and they no longer care what we think about anything.
Is there an extension I can use to know if a site uses AWS? Their not getting a penny from me.
Good luck using 'the internet' without AWS.
If youre mostly looking at the same 5 websites anyway (because information is centralized now, this isnt the 90s) theres a private frontend for almost ever one. Libredirect is an extension that I use that auto-redirects to those front ends, and the original companies never see a dime.
AWS is getting their money regardless. The front end doesn’t matter, if the data/infrastructure is hosted on the backend with aws, they get paid for usage and the data (like the spice) must flow. I suppose by circumventing the website’s frontend you hurt that site’s bottom line by making them incur costs from AWS while not being able to monetize your visit. Which is at least something.
Theres one for CloudFlare, never checked for AWS

[Verse 1] The old devils are at it again Who knows what they'll do And it's true right now like it was back then The old devils are at it again
[Verse 2] From behind these bars, the view don't change Desperation, death and despair From what little I hear of the outside world Well, it's not too different out there [Verse 3] And they tell me there's a war without no end The old devils are at it again They died by the millions, children, women, and men The old devils are at it again
[Verse 4] When I say "devils", you know who I mean These animals in the dark Malicious politicians with nefarious schemes Charlatans and crooked cops
[Verse 5] Well, moonshine still gets you five to ten The old devils are at it again Stripes on your back and a ball and chain The old devils are at it again
[Verse 6] Two men stare out of prison bars Wondering what got 'em here One saw mud but the other saw stars Praying that the end is near
[Verse 7] Well, the billboard outside says "Confess your sin" The old devils are at it again I guess I will confess that I've been suffering The old devils are at it again [Verse 8] I said the old devils are at it again Who knows what they'll do? And it's true right now like it was back then The old devils are at it again
[Outro] I said the old devils are at it again, oh ho

Bezos could have just fired the guy, but no, this is about sending a message
MBS also hacked Bezos phone and got his noodz
