      It’s easy to avoid buying things from Amazon. It’s hard to avoid AWS. It would be insane to try to suss out what provider everyone that I buy stuff from uses, and their third party relationships. Regulation is better.

        Yep, try browsing with ublock origin blocking all Amazon domains. Lots of things break because AWS is so large.

        In the old days people used to have their own servers…

        And you can still buy them…

        And the cloud really isn’t cheaper…

        But whatever, it’s ubiquitous today. Maybe someday people will wake the F up.

    Seems like covid’s overall impact on society won’t be as long lived as we thought. The whole work from home thing was almost seen as revolutionary as it would save office space and expenses. But it seems companies care far more for control than even profit.
