  1. I have officially deleted my Amazon account and cut ties with their ecosystem entirely. For a long time, the convenience of Prime felt like a necessary evil, especially since they have a warehouse in my city and can do same day shipping. But I can no longer reconcile the big tech giant's behavior with the values I promote at Terminal Tilt. As a privacy advocate and FOSS supporter, continuing to feed the machine feels increasingly hypocritical.

    Ethically, their treatment of labor is indefensible. Between the terrible warehouse conditions and the dark patterns designed to make canceling subscriptions nearly impossible, it is clear they view both employees and customers as numbers to be exploited, with contempt. Their anti-competitive practices have done irreparable harm to small businesses and independent creators who are forced to play in a rigged sandbox.

    As an FSF and EFF member, I believe privacy is a fundamental right. Amazon's business model relies on massive data harvesting and a huge surveillance network that I simply do not want to be a part of. Deleting my account is my way of reclaiming my digital sovereignty and refusing to let my personal data be a product in their inventory.

    The change also affects how I handle Terminal Tilt going forward. I am officially ending the use of Amazon affiliate links for the channel. While the links are a standard revenue stream for most creators, I refuse to track my audience into the Amazon ecosystem just for a small commission. I would rather the channel grow slower and more honestly than profit from a company that actively works against user freedom. Convenience is the enemy of sovereignty.

    When I review products now, whether it is the security keys from @nitrokey , @yubico , and Token2 or open source hardware, I will provide links to direct manufacturers or ethical, privacy-respecting retailers instead. Convenience should never be the primary metric for our choices.

    If you want to support my work on Linux, privacy, and the #NoAI movement, I encourage you to use my LiberaPay or Ko-Fi links. Supporting creators directly ensures that the content remains independent and free from the influence of the Epstein class and corporate overlords. You can find all my direct support links on my self-hosted Linkstack: links.terminaltilt.com

    It feels good to be out. It is time to prioritize people and principles over same-day shipping.

  6. Adding that, I'm pretty much only talking about ebooks. Print is 1% of my income so it's rarely on my mind. It's also the least profitable, and most difficult.

    So yeah. This is about ebooks. If you're a paperback person, ask your bookstore to order indie books from Ingram, or really just do Amazon because, they really have made that part streamlined especially for international orders.

    #amazonboycott

  7. It's that time of year where folks start talking about boycotting Amazon (which I am 100% onboard with). Please very much do that.

    I'm always torn when the common path of that protest is "Shop indie bookstores”

    Yes, BUT. Most indie bookstores don't stock indie authors.

    Shop indie author websites. Shop Amazon competitors for ebooks. At a minimum, ask your local indie store to order the indie book you want. Colleen Hoover is doing just fine.

    #amazonboycott

  8. Free idea: a browser extension that tells you if the website you're on (and what parts and portion of it) is being served from AWS.

    Amazon boycotts are great and all, but let's be honest-- AWS is the cash cow, and we hardly ever know when we're using it.

    Leider bekomme ich die WhatsApp community für unsere Initiative nicht umgezogen. Da sind die Leute noch zu träge und ich will die Reichweite nicht verlieren.

  10. Since last weekend, I started a personal #Amazon boycott. I'm not going to buy through them unless there is no other way. I'm looking first to see if I can buy from the manufactor online, if not, try to find the product in a local shop, even if it is a bit more expensive, I'll buy it from them. Worse case, research online shops, but avoid at all costs the dropshippers.

    #amazonboycott

  11. For obvious reasons, I'm no longer buying e-books from Amazon. I found a bunch of nice DRM-free PDFs on Thalia, but now I'm considering a book that does have DRM (publisher's requirement, I guess).

    Anyone has experience with de-DRMing Thalia books? (I think it's Adobe DRM, but not entirely sure.)

  12. Amazon Boycott

    There has been an organized amazon boycott underway for the last week. It started on the 7th of March and ends today on the 14th. I have been as successful as I can be in joining the boycott. I haven’t shopped at amazon or knowingly shopped at a site that amazon owns. I haven’t watched anything on amazon prime video. I haven’t knowingly used the news services they own, or even used imdb. The most difficult part was not using audible while driving in and out of Boston and to and from work this week. I am a bit of an audiobook junkie when I am driving and not touching my audible account was a little tough.

    The question I have is, did I unknowingly use amazon web services? I think a huge chunk of the internet is hosted by amazon. There’s a good chance that I went somewhere that is paying money to amazon for their web hosting needs. I don’t think I could have avoided that at all. Hell, for all I know this very page is hosted by amazon. I hope not, but who knows?

    For the things that I could actually control though, I have managed to play along. I just have to continue not giving amazon any business until midnight tonight. I can do it.

    In the meantime, here’s a photo a day picture of a cat. Hopefully Flickr, the site I use to host the images you see on this goofy little page, is not hosted by the amazons. That would be disappointing.

    It’s been so easy! I think I will continue indefinitely.
    What I figured out in the last week is that many of my Amazon purchases are just impulse purchases of stuff I don’t need!

  31. Those who come over to tell you that they've *cleverly* managed to avoid Amazon this season but don't tell you how *exactly* they did it are...

    ... wait for it...

    assholes!

    Don't get me wrong. I'm avoiding Amazon too, but I don't wrap myself in smug self-satisfaction. I know it is not an easy task.

  32. Focus:
    "All Israeli banks and virtually all Israeli companies are complicit to some degree in Israel’s system of occupation and apartheid, and hundreds of international corporations and banks are also deeply complicit. We focus our boycotts on a small number of companies and products for maximum impact."
