PIRATESHIP USERS ➡️📦 Because of the shipping price change for rural zip codes being more expensive now, PirateShip has graciously made a list of zip codes the USPS considers rural so you can know if you're going to be charged more: docs.google.com/spreadsheets...

email directly from PirateShip customer support: "Ahoy Captain 👋 Thank you for reaching out to Pirate Ship earlier! I'm so sorry that we missed you. We are all hands (and hooks) on deck today 🏴‍☠️ We totally hear you about these USPS rate changes and wanting to have a distinct way to know what rate to expect. The best way is always going to be to use the rates calculator - you'll know it isn't rural if you see "Below Commercial Pricing" as shown here: That being said, thanks to users like you reaching out to us about wanting an actual list of zip codes, our captains went to work and put together a resource! If you click this link here you'll be able to view specific zip codes that USPS classifies as rural 💪 I hope this helps get you to smoother waters! Just hoist y'er flag if ye be needin' anything else! We'll be here on deck."

posting this screenshot from the USPS bulletin about price increases because people seem to be ignoring the most important words in the highlighted sentence: that commercial clients with pre-negotiated rates (ie: pirateship, shipstation, etc) all have their own deals and are not blanket-affected.

screenshot "U.S. Postal Service Recommends Competitive Price Changes for July 2026 WASHINGTON — The U.S. Postal Service filed notice with the Postal Regulatory Commission (PRC) today to adjust some prices on some domestic competitive package and service offerings. Pending favorable review and comments from the Postal Regulatory Commission (PRC), these price changes and adjustments will take effect on July 12. Changes include, but are not limited to, elimination of ounce-based rate differentiation for published Commercial USPS Ground Advantage prices, which will not impact customers that have negotiated commercial rates for USPS Ground Advantage; and a competitive PO Box price increase of 3 percent. Also, the Postal Service will introduce Addresses API, a new Address Management System offering, and will align the divisor for dimensional weight pieces to industry standards for Priority Mail Express, Priority Mail, USPS Ground Advantage, and Parcel Select."

So many people can't conceptualize manufacturing that isn't sweatshop labor, like really genuinely truly think all manufacturing is exploitation, and that a professional working relationship that is fair between a client and a manufacturer isn't possible

Generative AI is not only fundamentally based on the rejection of consent, but also *standards*. Artists have been micromanaged and hounded over individual pixels, academics fighting to defend every minute detail of their thesis, etc, and then are tossed away in favor of the get shit wrong machine.
