You’ve never done ecommerce logistics

I literally have. Go climb up a tree.

Did 39 people really believe this enough to upvote this? This is easily proven false. Amazon is convoluted because it’s old as heck and they hire subpar engineers. Like me. I used to work on the team that made the search page. It sucks because most of us were fresh out of college and had never made a website in our lives.

Have you tried buying from aliexpress? It’s the same products as on Amazon, but directly from the supplier. Imagine Amazon, but everything’s 50% off.

The government had a warrant, read the article.

It’s just made confusing by the fact that the thief had signed into the victim’s phone, so it makes for a good clickbait story “police got the wrong guy’s data”

If by “when asked” you mean “given a search warrant with very clear evidence that this man had stolen a car”, then… Yes? I’m not sure what you’re trying to prove here.

The ex-boyfriend had signed into the guy’s phone. It’s not like the police just cast a wide net and randomly got his data.

Look I never said I disagree. My point to OP is just please don’t make up shit that straight up isn’t true. Pick a real issue, not some made up paranoia.

Re 1: People keep lumping Google with Amazon and Meta, but Google does not sell your private data and alerts you if it finds out the government to accessed your data. People keep assuming that because the general tech community sells data that Google does it too, but check their privacy policy or just ask anyone who’s worked there. They don’t.

User data at Google is locked up tighter than fort knox. That’s why the Snowden leak was such a huge deal, because the NSA was taking advantage of a security flaw that Google didn’t know it had to scrape user data. Google patched it immediately after they found out.

Amazon, Meta, and Uber, are much less scrupulous.

TIL there are like no women on lemmy

Honest question, why does the fediverse like firefox so much? This is not a common opinion to have on the internet, but everyone here and on mastodon seems to have it.

Yes. The problem with cookies was that they could be used to track and identify you. If this can’t do that, then what’s the issue?

Some random Chinese company: does something jenky

Blogger: “The entire country of China is doing this jenky thing!”

They just added a fee so that AWS can’t copy it without paying. What’s the big deal.

Regarding the cognitive dissonance required to A) value decentralization of power, and also B) support the CCP: 🤦

It’s simple: People who gain from misinformation create platforms that empower bots and sockpuppets.
