No thanks. It's all about data harvesting and ads now.
There was a time it was a neat product, but Amazon tech isn't entering our household anymore.

A % of customers won't return an incorrect product so an accidental sale is still a sale. It sucks, but statistically benefits the company.
I get tricked now and then too by products that ended up not matching my search. So annoying.
Totally right. Forgot what community I was in.
Don't most? Even Fitbit does that for ages. You can select what apps to receive notifications from.
Maybe they did mean hung, drawn and quartered.
In that case, I'd rather be hanged.
I'd be screaming in terror if the cockpit and flight controls were installed backwards too!
I'd be more disappointed in the missed naming opportunity: Upperware
It'll take me a while to respond to this, but it is hilarious you would refer to a voice for decorum and patience as "bully class" in an article/discussion about organizing obstructionists for maximum appeal.
Good point about slave revolts actually. That didn't cross my mind. Voting wouldn't have helped much on that front.
As for the morally justified angle, that is highly subjective. Your ideals may not align with mine. Does that mean I need to counter-obstruct obstructism I disagree with? That sounds like rapid escalation.
I did read that article, reflecting on recent perspectives, and as it is written for modern times, it raised concern; to have a outline/playbook to organize obstructionists in this climate is woefully tactless when masses are so easily enraged.
That said, there are many ways to get your message out. Websites, pamphlets, signs, heck we are Ad ridden everywhere. There is no excuse. Changing laws isn't glamorous, isn't fast, and isn't easy. But the right way has no shortcuts.
Second, (in the USA) your rights end when they infrige on anothers'. To impose my needs selfishly at the expense of yours is not only infringing your rights, but possibly accruing damages.
This is not victimless behavior regardless of cause. It absolutely should not be encouraged.
It's easy. Don't do it.
I support protesting and free speech. I do not support disruption. In fact, it shouldn't even be called a "protest" in the first place. Adding that tries to legitimize theft. (Yes, denied use is legally theft.) You don't always get your way in democracy and throwing a tantrum doesn't work.
What does is voting and education. It's harder, but the right thing to do.
Yeah, yum!
Better than 8 years of broccoli and prunes.
While based on Google TV, they lock down the OS, control the app store, and force their apps. You're in their walled garden and it's a pain to break out in any meaningful way.
