I like to thread the needle between “useful verification of identity” and “not a horrifying invasion of privacy that puts everyone in our society at risk”

Reading these kinds of things will just result in is creating horrible identification laws like having to scan your face each time you want to watch porn.

Amazon is bad at packaging books lately. I’d say 1/3 orders are damaged. My last one was both misprinted and the envelope was unsealed, so the book arrived bent, wet, and blurry.

I’ll go further, I stopped using Amazon entirely and I don’t miss it.

The junky shopping experience is especially clear once you leave and come back.

I only ever order books from amazon anymore, and usually only when I get a gift card or a product isn’t for sale elsewhere.

The prices aren’t even that good anymore.

At least a squashed merge I can drive all the chances with git blame, instead of focusing out what “format” that touched the whitespace on 3 lines is masking.
