Amazon will die Welt beherrschen Wir lieben unsere Kunden. Amazon nur Ihre Daten! Buchhändler arbeiten mit ~ 25% Spanne, Amazon will 60% von den Verlagen. Wir bezahlen in unserer Stadt Abgaben und Steuern, Amazon nicht. Wir haben faire Arbeitsbedingungen, Amazon nicht. Wieso kauft man Bücher über Amazon? Wir haben in Deutschland Preisbindung d.h. ob in München, Buxtehude oder bei Amazon - Neubücher kosten das Gleiche!
In 80% aller Bestellvorgänge sind wir schneller als Jeff Bezos, nur werden unsere Kunden begrüßt. Denkt nach - hier, heute, jetzt. Sonst gibt es in ein paar Jahren keine Läden mehr. Wie langweilig wäre das denn?

We have fixed prices in Germany, whether in Munich, Buxtehude or on Amazon - new books cost the same!
ich meide Amazon, wie Onlinekäufe überhaupt! Aber Amazon geht für mich gar nicht. Ich werde nie verstehen, wie jemandem das Geschäftsgebaren dieser Leute so egal ist und sie dort kaufen. Kann ich mit meinem Gewissen null vereinbaren!
Bücher bei Amazon zu kaufen ist wirklich überflüssig! Viele Buchhandlungen haben Onlineshops und versenden oft kostenfrei. Da ist für Kund*innen kein Unterschied mehr.
Und für die Bücher gibt es meist Leseproben, man muss auch nicht die Katze im Sack kaufen.
Ob Bezos viel Geld hat oder nicht, haben wir selbst in der Hand (gehabt). Mich beherrscht Amazon nicht. Habe es geschafft, bis auf 2 Mal (absoluter Lockdown zu Zeiten von Corona) nie was bei denen zu kaufen. Von mir hat Bezos (fast) kein Geld.
A certain particularly terminal sector of online leftists obsess over language so much that it crosses the threshold from reasonable inclusivity to CIA level sabotage tactics at some points.
American hyper individualism has trumped actual praxis. Saying the right things is great and all, but serving the people and improving the actual lives of oppressed people should be the priority.
Personally, I don't care if you occasionally use an intelligence based insult, just as long as you actually do shit to help disabled people live better lives. Is it the nicest to call someone an idiot or a moron? No. But actions matter more. Saying this as someone with autism and ADHD who has suffered ableist abuse and harassment in the past.
I would rather have a country fried communist who doesn't know all the language, than an Oregon liberal.
Also, a culture of language policing is incredibly damaging to disabled people, working class folks, and newly educated socialists. It has the real potential to spawn real world abuse and destroy the organizational ability of the socialist left by encouraging the marginalization of already vulnerable people who would otherwise be firm advocates for left politics.
Punitive and vindictive language culture should be replaced with education and understanding if the online left wants to translate their clicks into action.
Organized left politics has been hollowed out and replaced with an online aesthetic that people can readily abuse for likes and shares.
The philosophy of praxis that Gramsci wrote of in his prison notebooks has given way to insular bickering that is increasingly detached from the very state of affairs we seek to abolish!
I had someone recently correct a reply where I joke-quoted a job recruiter saying that what they actually wanted was a slave, but they weren't allowed to actually say that in a job interview. Their reply was "*enslaved person".
A) doing that isn't helpful even when it isn't a joke post, it's not informing me of why that is the preferred term B) even if I did know that that was now the preferred term, I *still* would have used "slave" in that context.

Face au 14 juillet belliciste, antisocial et fascisant de Macron, notre 14 juillet 2025 sera pacifique, patriotique et antifasciste !
Déclaration du Pôle de Renaissance communiste en France
Le 14 juillet 1935, le grand défilé parisien du Front populaire impulsé par le PCF et par la CGTU sous les plis mêlés des drapeaux rouges et tricolores se concluait au stade Buffalo aux accents de la Marseillaise et de l’Internationale tour à tour entonnées par Jacques Duclos. Allait suivre la victoire du Front populaire aux élections de 36 avec à la clef, la dissolution des ligues fascistes, les grèves accompagnées des occupations d’usine, de grandes avancées sociales et surtout…. la classe ouvrière devenant pour la première fois l’avant-garde reconnue de la Nation à l’initiative du Parti communiste français.
Le 14 juillet 1945, une immense manifestation parisienne célébrait la victoire des peuples sur le nazisme à l’issue. Le rôle déterminant de l’Armée rouge dans la victoire remportée sur Hitler était alors universellement reconnu et, en France même, nul ne se fût risqué à minimiser l’importance de la Résistance communiste intérieure dans la libération de notre pays. Du reste, le « Parti des Fusillés » obtenait alors près de 30% des suffrages tandis que la CGT réunifiée présidée par Frachon comptait cinq millions d’adhérents… Aile marchante du gouvernement d’unité patriotique issu du CNR, les ministres communistes Thorez, Croizat, Billoux, Marcel Paul, Casanova (Duclos étant alors président de l’Assemblée nationale) allaient promptement mettre en place la Sécurité sociale, les retraites par répartition, la généralisation des conventions collectives, le Code du travail, les statuts du fonctionnaire, du mineur et de l’électricien-gazier. Ce volet social était d’ailleurs adossé aux nationalisations de Renault, de l’Énergie, de l’Aéronautique (SNECMA), des Charbonnages et des principales banques. Tout cela fut accompli en deux ans car dès 1947, les ministres communistes furent exclus du gouvernement sur l’ordre des États-Unis désireux d’engager mondialement la croisade antisoviétique qu’on allait bientôt surnommer « guerre froide ».
Eh bien, le 14 juillet 2025 dessiné par Macron se situera aux antipodes de ces deux 14 juillet dignes du grandiose 14 juillet 1789. Sous l’impulsion du pouvoir actuel, la France officielle est en effet devenue le fer de lance de la marche à la guerre continentale que projette l’UE-OTAN arrimée aux dirigeants maladivement anti-russes de Londres. En témoigne le très agressif pacte militaire conclu ce 10 juillet, sans la moindre consultation préalable des deux Parlements nationaux concernés, par MM. Macron et Starmer en vue de la coordination des forces nucléaires anglaise et française. Cette marche de plus en plus précipitée des forces euro-atlantiques vers le « conflit global de haute intensité » tourné contre la Russie, mais aussi contre la Chine populaire (ouvertement ciblée par la cheffe de la « diplomatie » européenne Kaja Kallas), vise à maintenir l’hégémonie planétaire chancelante de l’Axe euro-atlantique (flanqué du régime pronazi de Kiev et des dirigeants génocidaires d’Israël !) sur la « majorité mondiale » que représente notamment le mouvement planétaire des BRICS. Y compris si cette hégémonie devait être préservée au prix d’une troisième guerre mondiale possiblement exterminatrice pour notre pays, si ce n’est pour toute l’humanité, voire pour l’ensemble du vivant ?
Ajoutons que le prétendu « isolationnisme » de Donald Trump et son soi-disant « abandon » de Kiev relèvent en réalité d’une nouvelle division du travail entre les forces euro-atlantiques, Trump préparant avant tout une guerre d’agression contre la Chine sur fond de mainmise israélo-américaine sur le Proche-Orient alors que l’UE, à nouveau dominée par l’impérialisme allemand en plein réarmement, est chargée par Trump de mener la charge contre la Fédération de Russie.
En outre, la marche à la guerre impérialiste s’accompagne comme toujours d’une régression sociale massive que le gouvernement Bayrou-Retailleau est chargé de mener contre ce qui subsiste des conquêtes de la Libération et du produire en France industriel, halieutique et agricole.
Enfin, les processus de fascisation de l’UE, mais aussi de la Ve « République » en voie de dissolution dans l’État fédéral européen en gestation, s’accélèrent sur fond de montée des extrêmes droites et d’euro-criminalisation des mouvements de soutien à Gaza. Du reste, l’euro-banalisation des néonazis kiéviens s’accompagne de persécutions anticommunistes caractérisées (Tchéquie, Ukraine, Pologne…), tout cela dans l’absolu silence de la fausse gauche atlantiste.

Trump cuts to food banks are making providing disaster aid difficult
Near the beginning of Trump’s second term, the Department of Agriculture stopped the flow of some of the money that pays for deliveries of products like meats, eggs, and vegetables known as “bonus commodities” through The Emergency Food Assistance Program, or TEFAP, to charitable organizations like food banks. TEFAP is one of the primary ways that state and federal governments have ensured food reaches communities in need in the aftermath of climate-fueled disasters like a hurricane or heatwave.
In March, the USDA also moved to end future rounds of funding for the Local Food Purchase Assistance Cooperative Agreement Program and the Local Food for Schools Cooperative Agreement Program. These two programs, which are also designed to support emergency food providers such as food banks, were slated to distribute more than a billion dollars this fiscal year to states, tribes, and territories.

High speed of development of Huawei's phone CPUs, 3 generations of chips in 2 years
Sidenote: its insane how chipmakers refer to CPUs as 7 nanometer, 2 nanometer, etc, since there is absolutely no component or wire inside the CPU that is actually this small, it purely a marketing term lol
yes but the "node size" is made up and means nothing. eg there is no "node" that is 5 nanometers or whatever it says on the box and in the press releases.
@💙🩷💜Ⓑⓡⓔⓣⓣ🐡🍉🐧 Actually it does. It refers to the minimum grid size that all the structures are drawn on before they are fabricated using photo lithography. Usually transistor gate length is two times this minimum size. So it directly refers to the number of transistors that you can fit into a given area. It should be noted that this is true for most logic transistors but usually silicon compilers will have several different transistor designs for low current high switch speed, and high current but not as fast as switching, the latter often being used for things like bus drivers, and these will be physically larger.
the critical word there being "area" which is 2D measure while a CPU is a 3D structure.
ie to use a human-size example, if my waist circumference is 90cm and someone stands on my shoulders at a 1cm offset that does not make my waist circumference 90cm+1cm/2 = 45.5cm even though I now fit just under twice as many ppl in the same "area"
CPU makers use exactly the same accounting trick to claim (e.g.) 2 nanometer "nodes"
@💙🩷💜Ⓑⓡⓔⓣⓣ🐡🍉🐧 We do not yet have the technology to effectively stack transistors, so although they are 3D, they are not more than one transistor high, though other things like interconnects, power, and ground may be above them. What is important is the number of transistors scale up as the node sizes reduce.

If you’re going for a budget site, great. Just dodge these mistakes to save time, money, and frustration.
You want a website, but you’re not looking to break the bank. That’s a solid plan. There are plenty of “budget” or “low-cost” web design options out there. If you’re careful, you can get a site that’s both affordable and effective. But too many people end up with a site that’s glitchy, outdated, or just doesn’t work because they fell into common pitfalls.
If you’re going for a budget site, great. Just dodge these mistakes to save time, money, and frustration.
1. Thinking "Cheap" Means "Awful"—or "Amazing"
People often make one of two errors. Some assume a cheap website is guaranteed to be terrible. Others think they’re getting a high-end site for pennies. Both are off-base.
You can absolutely get a clean, functional website without spending thousands, especially if you need something simple—a few pages, basic info, or a contact form. But “cheap” doesn’t mean you’re getting a custom-built site with all the bells and whistles. Be realistic.
That said, don’t dismiss affordable designers just because their prices are low. Some are new and eager to build their portfolios. Others use tools like Squarespace or WordPress to work efficiently. A skilled cheap website designer delivers value by focusing on what you need.
Look at their past work. Have a chat. If their style fits your goals, you’re set.
2. Not Knowing What You Need
The biggest mistake is hiring someone to “make a website” without a clear idea of what it’s for. You end up with a site that looks fine but doesn’t do the job.
Before you start, figure out:
What’s the site’s purpose (e.g., showcase your work, sell products, collect leads)?
What pages or features are must-haves?
Will you need to update it later?
How should it work on phones?
You don’t need a detailed spec sheet, just a sense of direction. Without it, you’ll get a generic or mismatched site, and even a cheap site is a waste if it doesn’t work.
A budget site still needs a purpose.
3. Rushing the Job—or Letting Them Rush It
Fast work is fine, but sloppy work isn’t.
Some cheap website designers are quick because they’ve got their process down to a science. That’s great. But if someone offers to whip up a full site in a day without asking about your needs, that’s a warning sign.
A solid designer, even an affordable one, will take time to understand your audience, message, and preferences. It doesn’t need to be a long process, but a quick discussion is essential.
Don’t rush them either. Demanding a complete site overnight leads to mistakes. A good cheap website designer needs a few days to organize content, choose images, and test everything.
Take the time to get it right. It’ll pay off.
4. Skipping Mobile, Speed, or Updates
Your site has to work on phones. It needs to load fast. And you should be able to update it without relying on the designer for every change.
Many cheap websites miss these basics. They might look decent on a computer but break on mobile. Or they’re slowed down by clunky code or too many plugins. Or they’re built in a way that makes simple changes a nightmare.
That’s not a bargain—it’s a liability.
Even a low-cost site should be mobile-friendly and quick. If it’s built on a platform like WordPress, you should be able to edit text or images yourself. Ask the designer how updates work and what maintenance is needed.
Test it before it goes live. Don’t just hope it’s okay.
5. Assuming It’s a One-Off Task
Websites aren’t a “build it and leave it” thing. They need a bit of care. Too many people get a cheap site, put it online, and forget about it. A year later, links are broken, forms don’t work, and the content’s outdated.
Even a simple site needs occasional attention. Update your info. Check that forms and links still function. Refresh the look if it feels stale.
A good cheap website designer builds a site that’s easy to manage. Ask them what’s needed to keep it running—maybe monthly checks or software updates. And make sure you know how to reach them if something breaks.
How to Make It Work
You can get an awesome site on a budget if you’re smart about it.
Choose a cheap website designer with a proven track record.
Look for someone who listens, asks questions, and explains their process clearly.
They should focus on the essentials: a clean design, clear content, fast performance, and easy updates.
You don’t need fancy animations or custom code. You need a site that shows who you are, communicates your message, and makes it easy for visitors to take action.
Stay within your budget, but don’t chase the cheapest option blindly. Know what you want, stay involved, and communicate clearly. That’s how you get a website that’s both affordable and worth every cent.
