I have a chapter in Jungle-tastic Tales about how pre-Columbian societies in the Amazon were more complex and larger than previously thought.

Here's a new article about it:

"The vast network of interconnected settlements shows that the Amazon was much more populated during the pre-Columbian era than previously suspected".

Esta claro que #Amazon alias #AMZ alias #GAFAM viene no solo endureciendo sus politicas respecto de la atencion al cliente, sino que ademas ha empeorado sus canales de comunicacion y feedback.
Ejemplo de ello son:
- elimino el "envio gratis" de todos los productos que se envian por sus propios canales
- censura e impide a los clientes dar sus feedback sobre los productos en mas de un idioma
- quito la opcion de apoyar a #ONG y proyectos sociales
- las pequeñas empresas son castigadas con draconianos costos por usar los servicios del portal AMZ
- el sistema de evaluacion de productos ha sido drasticamente cercenado
- el proceso de reclamacion contra terceros se ha vuelto muy engorroso

Aunque la empresa aumenta mes a mes sus utilidades, trabajadores, terceros, y los clientes estan siendo cada vez mas esquilmados.

Lamentablemente la competencia lo hace peor y no ven la tremenda oportunidad que estan perdiendo a causa de las malas politicas de esa empresa.

Amazon deforestation continues to plummet

“This shows how an election can change the fate of the Amazon.”

^{Tik Root (Salon.com)}

"Amazon rainfall has not changed appreciably, when averaged over the year. But the dry season, when rain is needed most, is becoming longer, especially in the northeastern Amazon, where dry-season rainfall decreased by 34% between 1979 and 2018

By the time 2015 long dry season ended, fires had scorched one million hectares of primary forest in the eastern #Amazon an area the size of Lebanon, producing as much CO2 as Brazil releases from burning fossil fuels in a year."

"We are killing this ecosystem": the scientists tracking the Amazon's fading health

Climate change, deforestation and other human threats are driving the rainforest towards a tipping point of sustainability. Researchers are racing to chart the Amazon’s future.

Why does the EU parliament depend on #MicrosoftOffice and is still using the potentially compromised #AzureCloud infrastructure due to the #Storm0558 hack?!

– Because it's easier to trust #Microsoft without asking any critical questions. Additionally, from a user's perspective it's inconvenient to learn the fundamental concepts of using word processing, spreadsheet and presentation software rather than getting product training.

This already starts in elementary school and #Google, #Apple, #Facebook, and #Amazon are no better. #BigTech will always find a way to lock-in and exploit its users while putting their digital identity and assets on the game.

#PublicMoneyPublicCode should be a law.

In yet another sign of the increasing scarcity of #IPv4 addresses, citing a pricing increase of 300% for new addresses, #Amazon Web Services (#AWS) will introduce a charge of $0.005 per IP per hour for all public IPv4 addresses starting from February 1, 2024.

The primary drivers of #deforestation in the #Amazon — and other biomes in #Brazil such as the #Pantanal and the #Cerrado — are #agribusiness and #meat consumption.

A survey released by the Amazon Environmental Research Institute (IPAM) showed that #cattle pastures occupied 75% of the deforested area on public lands in the Amazon. Other causes of deforestation include the construction of new highways, logging roads, dams, and mines.
