Yes, there is indeed, but I’m keeping track of how many they switch between. That’s the count in my original comment. I saw them tell someone say that they only switch between “a few”.

I shouldn’t have to block more than one account to not see posts from one user.

Just found it? Companies like Amazon have been doing layoffs under the guise of AI for a couple years now.

Gotta break the two party system and the electoral college for it to be feasible. I would love for that to happen.

That is literally what I’m saying, yes. I take it you have never worked on the operations side of data centers?

You can find their list of accounts by searching. They didn’t need to provide it, and last time they did something like that, they ended up using more accounts than they claimed. I’m not going to unblock someone like that, especially not just to see more content from them that I’m actively trying to avoid.

That is not true, they have multiple data centers. I completely disagree on the costs as well. A single high capacity switch can cost tens of thousands (of which they have probably hundreds) and that’s not even mentioning storage, electricity, rack space, server cost ($$$$). The land is the cheapest part of data centers.

Have you worked in or with a data center? It was most of my job for 6 years.

I didn’t mention Steam’s cut of sales, but I do want to mention that you can refund steam games as long as you don’t play them for longer than 2 hours. This is actually better than GameStop or retailers who normally only accept returns of sealed, new copies. So I’m not sure why you’d being that up when it defeats your point.

If I somehow found a way to leave, it certainly wouldn’t be to Japan. They’re just starting the same rise to fascism.

My cats have a blast inside and don’t hunt birds to extinction or get run over by cars. I’m fine with it, and so are they.

Yep, same. Plus they live healthier lives indoors and are far less likely to be injured.

Oh yeah, we’re on the same page there. She’s in it for herself.

I bet all households in Kansas have gender neutral bathrooms. Obviously not public, but still.

Add some commercial bathrooms to the mix too. They gunna outlaw those?

Also people that let their cats outside are part of this problem.

She should have stayed in to fight it instead of jumping ship

Well, as I said in another comment below, I didn’t start with just blocking them. They don’t just do it to me, they do it to anyone who disagrees with their behavior. I’ve seen them be snarky to others, I’ve seen them just downvote and not say anything. They do both. I just block them immediately now because they’re not worth arguing with - they won’t ever change, so why would I bother?

My problem isn’t reposts from ML, that’s their go-to response but they repost everything from everywhere. My problem is their dozens of accounts. Why can’t they just use one account so other users like me can just block them? They’re evading people’s blocks under the guise of “promoting instances”, even though I guarantee the vast majority of users don’t even know the post is from cm0002, let alone pay enough attention to read what instance the cm0002 account is on.

Oh yeah, I wasn’t looking for a 1:1 replacement for Amazon, my bad. I was just curious if you had any decent ones in general.

Asking for evidence of extraordinary claims = trolling. Got it.

“Agentic LLMs” is just a corporate buzzword. It’s meaningless, because by the very nature of LLMs, they do not “think”. It’s simply not possible. Deep learning models, maybe, but not LLMs.

Also, lots of things can mimic brains, and not all “brains” are the same anyway. So what brain are we talking about here?

I’ve left Amazon as well. What are your go-to sites?

I mean, sure. But I think you might be underestimating the infrastructure costs. They aren’t just using a few 10GB switches. They also aren’t just using a single data center to store and deliver games. Then, you have to consider all of the redundancies involved, the contractors, the data center contracts, etc. Even if they don’t have their own DCs, AWS or Azure at this level is $$$$$$.

Storing, transferring, and hosting at this scale is not cheap by any means. It makes GameStop’s tech infrastructure look like peanuts in comparison.

Wait, what the fuck? I mean, I’m not all that surprised that misogyny came out over this, especially these days, but still.
