What is still useful are the user evaluations.
After reading them, I use #eBay and price-search engines to find these products at about the same or even a lesser price.
The only real exception being when I do need something "tomorrow."
Also, some chain-stores will offer the same price as Amazon, etc.

Amazon Prime Video subscribers are about to see even more ads. In January, viewers who didn't pay an additional $3 a month started to see commercials. Now, Amazon has announced that it's adding what it describes as shoppable carousel ads, interactive pause ads and interactive brand trivia ads. Here's more from Ars Technica. We want to know, have you, or will you ditch streaming services as they start to add commercials?

Amazon illegally interferes with an historic UK warehouse election

While I was hopeful for #passkeys for a while, the reality at this point in time is not looking so great. What I see is fragmentation and confusion mostly caused by the big tech players.
Two examples:
- #amazon allows to create passkeys but for unknown reasons block #Firefox from passkey creation. Can anybody explain why would they do that in may 2024?
- #Apple situation for #AppleID as per https://passkeys.directory/details/apple/: "You are not yet able to save passkeys for Apple ID accounts in third-party credential managers and can only be stored in iCloud Passwords at this time."
which means I can't create a passkey in #KeePassXC which is the password manager I love and use.
Having a hard time finding good reasons for such a fragmented and poor user experience. Since the way #Google implemented passkeys allows for flawless creation and usage of passkeys in Firefox and KeePassXC there really can't be any good reasons for amazon and Apple to behave so poorly. So what's the explanation? Intentional #LockIn and malicious intent?
Please enlighten me 💡
"If a worker scans the QR code and clicks the link, Amazon’s software automatically generates a letter from the worker and then emails it to the trade union, ending their membership."
The innovation will continue until morale improves

This lawsuit is a minor headache for #Amazon. Allegedly a woman was fired for doing her job which was keeping Amazon’s #ArtificialIntelligence from using content illegally (probably copyrighted material).
Her boss reportedly did not like that “do-gooder attitude” & demoted her, before firing her during maternity leave. This case could open up lawsuits against Amazon’s #AI in the future.

When you think #greedflation, the image that comes to mind should be #Amazon.
"Amazon now makes up about 40% of all online retail — the company started raising prices on the products it sells directly."
"Nearly 50% of sellers' revenue goes to Amazon in fees," much of which is passed on as higher prices.
This is a prime example of Monopoly rent as Corey Doctorow, @pluralistic, discussed in a recent piece.
