nah, people are talking about what he said years ago. He didn’t say anything recently (or at least, not that I know of)

I feel that the original quote “better a pig than a fascist” is more relevant and important these days than this take

A one-week boycott is completely ineffective by design.

Amazon’s executives aren’t sweating over losing a week of your business. They’re a trillion-dollar company that thinks in quarters and years, not days. They’ll gladly wait out this symbolic week of inconvenience.

The moment you put an expiration date on your boycott, you’ve surrendered all leverage. They have zero incentive to change anything because they know you’ll be back ordering Prime deliveries next Monday.

Real - actual - boycotts work by creating genuine economic pressure that forces companies to reconsider their practices. They require commitment, not just temporarily pausing your shopping habits.

Emphasis on >habits<, because we’re not talking about political parties, it’s a shop. A humongous shop for sure, but still a shop, and you can buy what you want from other places.

If you want to actually impact Amazon, you need to be willing to walk away indefinitely until they address your concerns. Otherwise, it’s just performative.

That’s so stupid. Boycott only works if it’s indefinite, because you want the company to try to win you back.

If you say that you are coming back, what exactly are you expecting to happen? They’ll change nothing because you already said that you are coming back

Different words that say the same thing…

Anyway, even for those automated processes, there’s no good reason to use files with the same names in the same directory, it’s bad practice and adds unnecessary confusion in the design of the code.

so why would a file system treat them the same?

Because it’s designed for average people, not bots. Imagine the headache of telling people to add a line in file.txt, but they misunderstood and add it to File.txt

Furthermore, I personally cannot think of any use case for having files with the same names reside in the same directory. It would just create confusion even among tech savvy users and programmers
