Maybe it was a bad idea for society to put 90% of the internet on one company’s infrastructure.
Let’s take a decentralized network and centalize it! Nothing will surely go wrong.
Hey! Great idea! Let’s make all of the internet rely on one service from one evil company! What could go wrong?
I am grateful that my past me (from few months ago) decided to study Slavic philology, instead of getting stupid tech job. I hate modern tech, including anything from big corporations.
I am also glad that I’ve switched to Linux (Debian ftw) to escape software enshittification.
It’s not a full escape, just a path to escape.
Diversity is a strength when things go bad.
I’m okay to blame bozos.

Time for open source Amazon app alternatives to be made. Made a post on OpenSource with suggestions on how to do it and how it can help open source communities: KDE, GNU/Linux, etc can each make their own and use their profits for their own and other open source projects. A passive income if you will from making, and managing the app that displays products from various partnered stores and websites
For some context, the issue was affecting AWS or Amazon Web Services, which is hosting for those other services (or parts of them), not an amazon app issue cascading to other services.
And I don’t think an open source amazon app would work. Amazon is a lot more than just a webstore. They’ve got a massive logistics network plus warehouses and packing plants. I feel like an open source version of amazon’s store would end up avoiding the corporate shit but would have all the negatives of amazon store without many of the positives.
