It is both a prime and a palindrome and is named after one of the Seven Princes of Hell (you can see why) who was tasked with helping people make ingenious discoveries and inventions.
Wait - so not only are #Netflix putting ads into their streams, but that means they can no longer be viewed on Chromecast? Between that and #Prime ads, streaming is dead.
Ich habe jetzt die ersten 4 Folgen von #Fallout auf #Prime geschaut und ich wundere mich ein wenig, wo der Hype herkommt. Vielleicht muss man doch die Spiele gespielt haben, um eine emotionale Bindung an diese Welt zu haben.
Immerhin nehmen die Geschichten langsam Fahrt auf.
hab jetzt nach "Fallout" ne Woche nach anderen erträglichen Inhalten bei #Prime gesucht - aber es macht sich schnell wieder das bekannte Gefühl von Blockbustervideo breit: mit 90% Schrott, furchtbarer Müllpromo von Müll und MitkundInnen, deren Medienbewertungen geistige Umnachtung schreien.
Nein, da will ich nicht Kunde sein.
Mal kucken, ob ich nächsten Monat mal wieder bei Paramount oder Apple TV reinschaue.
Watched the first episode of #Fallout and thought it was pretty good. #Prime may be the worst streaming app ever devised. I don't understand how after all this time, it continues to suck so bad?
> Amazon avait prévenu que la publicité arriverait le 9 avril. C’est donc le cas depuis hier dans de nombreux pays, dont la France. Au premier lancement, un message devrait vous accueillir, vous précisant que la publicité est là et qu’il est possible de payer 1,99 euro de plus par mois pour ne pas la voir.
La fin de l'âge d'or du streaming tout pourri à bas coût ?
Une nouvelle #série diffusée par la plateforme #Prime#Video coïncidant avec sa présentation sur la plateforme américaine #HBO, la série " #the#regime ", qui met en lumière les coulisses du pouvoir d'un pays fictif d' #Europe de l'Est, où une chancelière a étendu son emprise de fer sur la dualpipe du gouvernement . La série soulève parmi plusieurs questions le statut des femmes en #politique, les conditions de #gouvernance et les intrigues sous les #dictatures.
For the pro-monopoly crowd that absolutely dominated antitrust law from the Carter administration until 2020, Amazon presents a genuinely puzzling paradox: the company's monopoly power was never supposed to emerge, and if it did, it should have crumbled immediately.

@pluralistic From the post - an incredible insight:
Amazon is the poster-child for monopoly run amok. As Yanis Varoufakis writes in Technofeudalism, Amazon has actually become a post-capitalist enterprise. Amazon doesn't make profits (money derived from selling goods); it makes rents (money charged to people who are seeking to make a profit)
BTW - personally I have not purchased anything from amazon in years. I stopped my once in a random blue moon shopping at #WholeFoods, and absolutely refuse to become a #prime member.
I just listened to the words of the #Prime#Minister of #Estonia
She is ABSOLUTELY right #Putin must be stopped in #Ukraine.

WE need MORE Women in Power
men are always about 'who's got the longest'
Women have a MUCH higher sensitivity
and I say this as a male.
"Mrs. Davis" auf Prime ist die originellste Mini-Serie, die ich seit längerem gesehen habe. Spannend, abgedreht, teilweise sehr lustig. Wenn sie es jetzt nicht noch in den letzten beiden Episoden total versemmeln, würde ich glatt 9 von 10 Jezebulls verteilen.
Very cool of Amazon to put unnecessary ads in their shows just so they can charge us more money to get rid of the ads that don't need to be there in the first place.
It's the digital equivalent of the Coca-Cola Company putting rocks into cans of soda and then introducing "New and improved Rock-Free Coke, only one dollar more than the rock-filled original!".
