      Side rant: I refuse to download the McDonald’s app. That’s the first question they ask (and increasingly, any fast food joint asks) when you roll through the drive through. “Are you using the app today?”

      No I’m not fucking using the app today. I just want an ice cream cone. Ok!? I don’t need or want to download another goddamned app and manage another set of credentials when it takes me less time to say, “Can I please have an ice cream cone?” And for you to respond with, “I’m sorry but our ice cream machine is broken.” than it does for me to order a fucking ice cream cone on the stupid app.

      I mean hells bells I’m a software engineer. I make my living designing [often unnecessary] software [which provides little tangible benefit]. But I’ll be damned if I’m going to have an app to go through a fast food drive through or use household appliances. I will die on this hill. Ok, maybe not die, but I will be severely wounded on this hill.

    My doctor’s office has done this to me when I’ve called in to get help with a prescription issue I was having. Literally just gave me instructions for how to message my doctor through the app. 🫠 Mfer I’m calling because I don’t want to use it! It sucks ass too because it always takes like a week to get a one sentence reply that only addresses half of what I asked.

        They for sure dislike secure browsers. Also the UI in general is horrible, of the website on Desktop too. Its blurry? The App on the other hand looks good

          What do you mean with this? I haven’t used Amazon in a while so I have no idea what shenanigans they’ve gotten up to

              Really? I haven’t seen that. No Captchas ever I think.

              The phone number could be for the 2FA but no idea, I don’t think I have seen it, for 2FA I have the usual authenticator, that said they have my phone for sure at least for shipping but maybe I did get asked for it and I don’t remember, they have it for shipping anyway so…

              But logged out… no issues there if anything it works like Facebook where not sure what they have but the session last forever…

              Of course I am using my Amazon from Spain there might be differences, like just due the laws alone I expect differences on the American one.

                Delete all cookies but exceptions in the firefox privacy settings

                Set security mode to strict

                Use noscript and you know what they do, remove all the allowed ones and all scripts from default, disable “LAN” and “others” from “trusted” and opt-in manually

                Privacy is manual work. Noscript is great, but for sure takes getting used to.

    For me the hierarchy goes something like this: Floss native app (dt & mobile) > floss electron app (dt & mobile) > website > non-floss app
