  • Considering the size of the country, and the margins it works with, it works quite well. Well enough that Amazon itself uses USPS for deliveries. Plus there’s a lot of additional work that USPS does. Like shipping to places that just don’t make any fiscal sense but are essential for that remote community. Shipping live chicks under a certain amount of age.

    And no private company would do this coz it won’t give the most profits but the service greatly benefits the populace as a whole. (Which preaching to the choir since you’re on Lemmy vs Reddit when the Reddit experience is a lot smoother for the layman right now but also fully profit oriented.)



  • Tbh, I kinda like that we have these growing pains. Helps folks leave out older expectations of monolithic profit-oriented social platforms. And actually put some money down to help host the specific niche community they really want to exist.

    I’ll probably eat these words later but, as of this moment, I stand by it.






  • As much as I loathe Nintendo’s business end, The xbox series has absolutely horrendous naming system.

    Nintendo fucked up mainly for Wii=> Wii U, Microsoft has been a shitshow since 360, mainly coz they picked 360 and didn’t consider what they’ll go to next.

    And the ONE moniker for a buttload of services is absolute bullshit when it isn’t the first device/product from that brand.

    And then they went to Series? That’s absolutely shit as a naming convention for a single generation as well.

    Stg the project names are a lot better than the final marketing names.

    Xenon, Durango, Scarlett. Definitely better IMHO.
