Ubuntu Linux 20.04 Ditches A Feature That’s Been Annoying You For Years –
Ubuntu is removing the Amazon Icon
***
when Canonical’s upcoming Ubuntu 20.04 LTS (Long-Term Support) release lands this April, that Amazon icon will be no more. “It was just a low-impact way for people to passively donate to Ubuntu without actually having to do anything but shop at Amazon,” Pope says.
Well, it hasn’t been annoying me for years. On the computer where I have Ubuntu, I have not updated in forever. The update became broken and so I just stopped updating. And so I never had that on Ubuntu. But I am getting ready to update, maybe, perhaps, I am thinking about it.
But what Ubuntu is doing got me to thinking about what I am doing here on sayata.net. Would people rather me go to a paid subscription system or a paid tip system rather than what I have been doing with the amazon advertisement / affiliate link tip system and trying to get people to buy my eBooks. Do the ads do more to piss people off than to get them to contribute to support my content?
Most of my links do not have pixels and so I don’t really share that much data with amazon, even accidentally. But of course people don’t know or understand that. I think with Ubuntu people had the idea that Ubuntu was sharing data with amazon.
I don’t really have that high of a registration / return rate. So my traffic level is part of my problem.
I don’t know. Is Unbuntu on to something that I don’t understand.???

Twitter: I am back adding content to twitter. I am not going to stick to the 4 tweet rule. I was going to end up getting marked as a spammer is about all I was going to accomplish from what I was doing, even though I was limiting myself to 4 tweets.
Topics: Neil Peart, the drummer and lyricist of progressive rock band Rush, has died, US Economy Adds 145,000 jobs in December. Why I don’t think it is a good number. – What do I think about state governments going after big tech. – Trivia/Facts: How many fire stations are there in the USA? – How markets are reacting to Iran Missile Launches against bases in Iraq. – Twitter to experiment with limiting replies in effort to combat online abuse – This, that, humor.

Syrian Girl: 2020 Is 2003 All Over Again
I don’t really fully agree with this, but there are some points. It is a different perspective. I am not going to do an analysis on this because I could be wrong on some things and it in itself covers different perspectives.

Day 1/3/2020
I have put “Erotic Western: Saving The Town” back into Kindle Select / Kindle Unlimited. |
|
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
A Free Day Is Scheduled for 1/5/2020 | Total Giveaways = 2Update 5:00 to 6:00 PM EST Still, Total Giveaways = 2Update 8:02 PM Total Giveaways = 4 Update 10:15 PM Next Update: 1/6/2020 Total Giveaway = 5 |
After January 5, 2020 I will see how the give away goes before I decide on whether I will put any more of my eBooks back into Kindle Select / Unlimited. It will also determine whether I will publish any more eBooks on KDP. | Because “Erotic Western: Saving The Town” did generate some sales at one time I figured it was a good eBook to act as a canary in the coal mine. As some of you may know I have not had any eBook sales since April of 2019. |
I am continuing the say unit tip system. If I can schedule the time I plan to start back doing youtube videos. For right now the Hearthville Serial will continue as part of the goals for the say units. |

For KDP Amazon to have passed the test 8 to 12 eBooks would have needed to have been given away. They failed. I love Amazon. I will continue to promote Amazon. I will continue to shop at Amazon. But I will NOT publish any more eBooks with KDP Amazon unless they begin to generate paid sales. I can’t even give eBooks away through them. For right now I am not going to unpublish my eBooks with them but obviously I am not going to put any more eBooks into Kindle Unlimited unless there is some change. I will leave it at that.
There may be some outdated text you will see on some posts that indicates something contrary to that because I temporarily lost my brain and I was planning to publish more with KDP and doing Kindle Unlimited with more eBooks but no. That is not happening.
To be clear, to the people who downloaded my eBook from Amazon, thank you. I appreciate it more than you know.
My stories will continue here.
