Amazon trying to cover their ass?
Updated Wednesday, September 4, 2024 5:10 p.m. EST - Amazon reached out to deny the reports of a crack down on singing along with the radio in trucks and provided this PR video clip as evidence. A PR spokesperson told Jalopnik: “This post is completely inaccurate. Amazon has never issued guidance or communications to Delivery Service Partners that prohibits singing in the vehicle.”
I really wanna go to an event where we’re just literally roasting selected billionaires over a fire, eating popcorn as we listen to their screams, and watch their flesh darken as it burns. So whole celebrating how much negative karma is leaving the earth all at one time.
I’m not even kidding. I would literally enjoy physically going to such an event. Bezos and Musk would probably be the stars of the show.
Does Bezos even “do” anything at all? Ever? Or is he just cashing checks while underlings deal with all the “work stuff”?
I mean I would be downright ashamed if a company with my name all over it was looked on this badly.
I get what you’re saying but I get weirded out by people who go from "violence is necessary" to glorifying it. I’ve seen people dying before and I don’t think I’d ever find it satisfying to watch any human burning to death.
Justice is one thing but I think there’s a lot of sick fucks who practically get off to violence or at least violence like this in theory because they’ve never seen some horrific shit firsthand.
As much as watching everything literally burn would be exceptionally cathartic, it wouldn’t be useful. If you ask me, these CEOs and rich bastards can work X hours a week scrubbing toilets or otherwise contributing to society.
If you refuse to contribute to society cause you were rich and think you’re hot shit, then jail. Something like the minimum security prison in Norway where the point is rehabilitation. If you’ve committed war crimes or premeditated murder or otherwise genuinely can’t be offered even that much freedom, then real prison, but still a decent real prison.
Putin and his ilk are a different matter. What was good enough for Mussolini would be just as good for them.
This should be addressed by fixing the software, but it seems to be easier or cheaper to instead further burden the workers.
Nah, should be fixed by outlawing such invasive and seriously demented micromanagement.
All of these delivery drivers work for third parties, not Amazon directly. You can start your own Amazon delivery business and contact to driver for Amazon. Amazon is saying they didn’t tell anybody not to move their lips. One of the third party companies or low level manager told people not to do it because it triggers the camera.
Good question. Amazon could require their camera system or a camera system, or it could be the owner installing the camera on their own.
Stop using Amazon…
Whats the alternative? (For real, i have a ec2 instance there, and I guess I could use azure or google cloud but they are shitty companies too)

If you miss the simplicity of a dashboard vs terminal I suggest https://coolify.io/
There are options, the question eventually comes down to if you want to support Jeff’s billionaire lifestyle
If you’re a cheapskate like me, oracle cloud’s free vps tier is the most generous I’ve seen of any provider. I suspect it’s because their other services are subpar so they gotta raise market share somehow.
