MystechtoHacker News@lemmy.bestiver.se•Bookshop.org launches Kindle alternative, sends e-book sales to local bookstoresEnglish
1·4 months agoUltimately you still do not own these books, just like with Amazon, because they are locked into a DRM and proprietary reader, so your “purchase” can be rescinded or orphaned at any time…
• Ebooks from Bookshop.org must be read on either our Apple or Android app, or via a web browser. • Users of Android based e ink devices, that have regular access to the Google Play app store (Boox, Meebook, etc), should be able to download and read from our Android app. • Due to Amazon’s and Barnes & Noble’s proprietary digital rights management software (DRM) and publishers’ DRM requirements, it’s not currently possible to buy ebooks from Bookshop.org or local bookstores and read them on your Kindle or Nook.

I love those quirky two-dollar bills! As a child, family members would use them gifts, and they would occasionally confuse cashiers (some of whom were certain they were fake).

Technology•Amazon cloud boss says employees unhappy with 5-day office mandate can leaveEnglish
49·1 year agoYet another thinly veiled stealth lay-off by a technology company. Amazon’s cloud boss Matt “The Prat” Garman will indeed see some departures, as intended and desired. However, that first wave will be of their most talented, who feel confident they will land on their feet elsewhere, leaving those that simply cannot leave (yet) or those that will cozily under perform. When Amazon applies the inevitable followup reductions (subjectively based on their internal review process) to remove the latter, and the former buckle under the load or also leave, Amazon will be left with lower-middle talent at best.
The more I see of business “strategy” among this layer of “leadership”, the more I’m convinced it is just a game of Jenga with talent, resources, infrastructure, security, quality, etc; pulling out as many pieces as possible in the drive for short term/sighted gains until a company collapses under its own dysfunctional “efficiency” and “success”.
