Maybe if Apple didn't glue everything shut to protect it from repair or replacement, this wouldn't be such an issue...
Listen to music from the 1980's or 1970's. When artists were actually involved instead of just formulas. When there was no autotune so you actually had singers...

a group dedicated to the man who has memorably bamboozled many a reader with sneaky comments ending in a reference to a famous pro-wrestling match called Hell in a Cell. A Reddit admin with the username "internetmallcop" posted a thread on Tuesday announcing the experiment, calling it a "new feature to support u/shittymorph." Anyone in the group can now tip shittymorph for content he posts in his own subreddit.

I foresee it being more of a situation where one side will primarily post publicly and then the other side would post on "Dissenter" and it turns into a twisted echo chamber...kind of like Facebook.
What's funny is that you aren't seeing which side is the "it" here... since these websites engage in so much censorship and promotion of their favored point of view, the "public" side is already an echo chamber.
When nearly every single doctor on the planet says that vaccines help more than harm, by orders of magnitude, then the opinions of a vocal minority should not hold nearly the weight of that given by the people whose job it is to know such things. Sure, research both sides, but don't expect a mom's 15 minute search on the internet to be "equal and fair" to what is being presented by a licensed medical professional.
The problem with is Amazon trying to be the truth police.
Will they try to police the accuracy of all books that touch on medical topics? Other scientific topics? Historical topics? Current events?
If not, why not? What expectations should we have of them?
Isn't it maybe better to just encourage people to take things with a grain of salt, and let Amazon just be a bookstore?
Collecting passwords in a browser form field is fairly common, and not wrong.
This is not "a browser"... or at least SHOULD NOT be, it is an app that would in principle exist in the very same form (at least from what I can see in the demos) even if the web was never invented. However it is/it does come with its own browser (like many other things nowadays!) - heck it's bigger than my first HARD DRIVE!
How many people write and buy pro-vaccination books?
How many people love to write a conspiracy-laden book about evil corporations and doctors, and promise enlightenment by not following that path?
My guess is the latter.
Is that really Amazon's fault that there are more Anti-Vax books than Pro-Vax? My guess is any brick-and-mortar book store would contain the same.
This is true about a lot of things.
Anti-anti-depressants sells, for example. How many people write pro-anti-depressant (popular) books? It's much more exciting to think there's a grand conspiracy.
Yes, with the vaccination stuff, I think the goal is good. That's not the point. Free speech protection isn't needed for the viewpoints that all the "right" people think are good.
The day will come when the ascendant viewpoint is not something that you think is right or good. And it will be you who isn't going to be allowed to say anything against it. But by then, it will be too late.
It's like someone looked at the vinyl revival and said: what this needs is lower sound quality and even less convenience."
Less convenient? They were smaller, the players were much smaller, and they didn't skip. Portability was easy.
Also, you had lots of control, could duplicate with ease, could make mix tapes, leave out extended codas or intros or whatever if you didn't want them.

Then I guess we'd better get hot ... no pun intended ... on some technological solutions.
(Perhaps the saltwater cloud guy from earlier today.)
Hand wringing, scolding, and name calling don't seem to be doing the trick.
These things can only do what they are trained to do.
I can see it now:
AI: False! Human babies are not human until you take them home from the hospital. {Source: dem lawmaker}
AI:False! You did get to keep your doctor, and your premium went down! {Source: who knows}
Etc. ...
Normally I'm all for bashing China, but
Social credit offenses range from not paying individual taxes or fines to spreading false information and taking drugs.
Seeing how we use actual prison for #1 and #3, and are working on it for #2, maybe they aren't as harsh as they sound with this ...
The eBay site is old, out dated, confusing and cluttered.
If by "cluttered" you mean "has information instead of acres of white space" then I say bring on the clutter.
At least with a subscription, you get a chance to review prices and see if you want to go through with it.
Seriously, press a button and get it sent to you at some random current price?
Public bathrooms get gnarly ...
What was the point of these free scooter programs anyway?
"Geoengineering" is an idiotic substitute for the thing that needs to be done - which is actually reducing the CO2 output.
I'm afraid you'll have to show your work. Decades of hand wringing hasn't reduced the CO2 output. Maybe it's time to also try something else.
Second snowiest Feb ever ( well, since 1893) and about third or fourth coldest in Spokane.
Snow is more an indicator of high moisture than extreme cold.
Hence all that snow in Florida.
C'mon people, science!!!!!!!! How can you deniers be so anti science!

Whether this or something else ... it's going to be technological solutions. It's not going to be solved by everyone going stone age,
Had both Netflix and Amazon Prime Video for awhile.
Of the TV watching I did, did more and more Amazon and less and less Netflix. Finally dropped the Netflix. Just not worth it to me.
Amazon bundles other stuff with Prime (frankly, I had Prime already for the other stuff) ... Netflix?
Heck, at this point if I wanted a second service (which I don't) I'd probably do Hulu.
... someone who actually knows about stuff. Eek.
... hopefully I don't actually have to break tradition and read the fine article.
Isn't this a closed system? WTH would you need antivirus for? Poltergeists?

Yes ... yes they should :)

Plenty of apps use HTML/CSS/JS as the UI.
That's not what's wrong with it, security-wise.
"The user interface is designed using HTML/JavaScript and rendered using integrated Chromium (Google's open-source project) based browser"
'nuf said. Surely there are more wrong things wrong with that...
Collecting passwords in a browser form field is fairly common, and not wrong.
Spellchecking passwords? With a third party service? Sending in cleartext? Yeah, that's screwy ...

They make it sound like that's the easy part.
Exactly!
We just might need some sort of structured language to set those parameters with ... hmm, what could we call it ... programming?
