I mostly follow those that have interesting things about technology, gaming, and geekery. I unfollow those with a low signal-to-politics ratio.

@imPenny2x There will always be scarcity. People will want to live on the beach or mountains, and that will not scale infinitely. People will want power over others. Scarcity will be engineered (like crypto, NFT) It is human nature to hoard profits at the expense of others.

@codemash Are the discounted kalahari prices listed anywhere?

[d_snyder @d_snyder]

@Synology I was a very satisfied customer until now, but hard drive lock-in is a deal breaker for me.

@jkagan1 @Kasparov63 Not doubting this, but why do they then charge the highest price in the country that funded said research? I have no problem with tax dollars funding noble causes, but then to price these drugs out of reach when the rest of the world gets discounts is kind of backwards.

I decided to rewatch The Expanse on @PrimeVideo, which is one of the best sci fi series in recent memory. It is truly UNBEARABLE! There are 1 minute ads every 8 minutes or so. I'm so disappointed @amazon has fallen this hard from what was a great, customer focused company.

4) Support is not capable of understanding the issue. They have NO process to help someone with an email address that they can't receive mail to. So glad I have not given them much money.

[d_snyder @d_snyder]

Be careful with @EpicGames

1) Used a valid email, but is on a stop list (due to the word "spam" in it)
2) I cannot receive automated emails to validate it.
3) I cannot change it because I cannot receive automated emails to validate the previous address.

[d_snyder @d_snyder]

@EpicGames I'm trying to get my account email fixed, and am going in circles with support being asked to provide transaction history that doesn't exist. What can I do?

[d_snyder @d_snyder]

@HRBlock Small number of users? These are thousands of reports per minute over the past 20 hours, and that is only the people who know about downdetector.

Sad to be missing my first #codemash in something like 15 years (lost count). Hope everyone who is there has a great time!

@PrimeVideo

[d_snyder @d_snyder]

#PrimeVideo Really taking a look at subscriptions this year and prime is looking pretty expensive with ads. Kind of crap they change the terms when I prepaid for the year.

Who thought it was a good idea to add a 2 second Black Friday splash screen to EVERY SINGLE online shopping app EVERY time it is opened. #drivingmenuts

I didn't realize how much I depend on Reddit for searches until all the subreddits disappeared. Google is pretty much useless without them.

[d_snyder @d_snyder]

I'm really liking apple tv's #silo  so far, and I'm looking forward to what is next! As someone with mechanical engineering training, I will even forgive the magic steam turbine that works with half of its cover off :)

@Not_the_Bee Who from Ohio hurt you?
