This is a most excellent place for technology news and articles.
I hope everyone has added this to their file about Jeff Bezos
Amazon founder Jeff Bezos had Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell attend his private, invitation-only, weekend at a resort he rented out. Bezos also has numerous private dinners with Epstein. They were good friends.
Fuck off, you buy one marital aid and you get this shit
I just checked mine. It says “probably has a dog”, “probably has workshop”, “probably has outdoor space”, prefers organic, and I have 6 hobbies. Gardening, backpacking, mountaineering, swimming, professional jewelry making and painting lol. I’m adhd. I’m not a mountaineer I just had to buy ice axes and microspikes last minute for a backpacking trip because the snow didn’t melt before our permit date. I mean we did scale mountains in the snow so I guess im a mountaineer now. I try to buy as little as possible from Amazon.
Mine was empty, i am kinda glad about it, it means they did not have enough info about me, not even by brokers
Btw, i added
Everyone getting mad that they made a profile about you, but nobody acknowledging that you can edit the info and make them believe crazy things about you.
Shortly after the Amazon suggestions:
Heh. Just logged in to my Amazon account (which I seldom use) and it's got nothing on me.. which is JUST how I like it! Guess ticking all the privacy and security settings and using ad-blockers and a super edited hosts file (Dan Pollock's - for decades now..) and using throwaway email accounts for all of this shit is working!
Niiiice.
Funny that it knows this, yet chooses to ignore it.
Sorta thought this thread would be full of people saying "I dont even have an Amazon account". Makes me sad.
I had it from a few years ago since i quit prime and my about me says they don't have info on me so that's good for me
You guys have Slavery – The Company accounts?
This!!!!
Fully erase and delete that shit immediatly!
I haven't even got that page on the UK site. Looking at things they recommend I buy, I see the usual collection of things I bought once years ago, and completely random shit that I'd never be interested in in a million years. All that data collected, for what? How these people are worth trillions I'll never know.
How do you get to this page
Go to account>account settings>about you
I was just looking at mine today. Systematically?
The one that got me was "probably has a husband who doesn't like lotion"
I always figured Amazon knew the most about me because what you buy probably says more about you than what you search. Like Google may think I'm a raving lunatic but Amazon knows I am a householder and what I use. So I was honestly pretty relieved most of it was very general except that oddball example above.
I've gone through and deleted everything as a matter of principle.
What a judgemental slop.
Also holy shit it's so wrong on rest.

Why are so many of you still shopping with Amazon? Genuinely I do not understand it.
Because Amazon wiped out what Walmart and other big box stores didn’t kill in the first round. Sometimes there’s literally no place else to get what I need, not even order it in to a local store. On top of that, Google search for products is so wrecked that the choices it returns are amazon links, or links to websites that also provide amazon links to the same products. It’s fucked up.
(FWIW I do buy local or direct from businesses other than Amazon when possible, but it’s simply not possible all the time)
I only buy things from Amazon I can't get anywhere else, like the deodorant I use. Unfortunately they've become a monopoly in many respects
I was expecting to be horrified but mine actually made me feel pretty good lol
I prefer Anker USB devices, I grow plants as a hobby, and I consistently maintain dog supplies!
The only thing it got wrong is it thinks I have kids. But I guess I only really use amazon to get stuff for my dog and my sister's kids so that's no surprise
has a cat, drinks coffee, plays guitar.
This is WAY off, I play bass.
Mine thinks I keep impulsively buying stuff to maintain an organized workshop because I manage to keep an organized workshop, when the reality is it's full of half-finished organization projects cluttering up the whole space.
If someone wants to generate a database of Lemmy users preference, this comment section is a much cheaper way than setting up an entire company like Amazon.
Hahahaha... now I'm kind of sad I deleted my account after Amazon kept trying to scam me by offering me free Amazon prime. They would give me a month free, then like 10 days, then only like 3 days, hoping I would forget and have to be charged for it. When they finally caught me out, I just told them to fuck off and deleted my account. Never liked their other predatory practices, like how they would plagiarise and sell existing products for dirt cheap and label them Amazon Basics... And then when companies would go out of business. They would bring up the prices. I guess you don't get that wealthy without stepping on a lot of people.
“Systematically building electronics laboratory.”
That’s so much nicer than saying I’m constantly trying and failing at my hobbies as I realize how little I know and how ill prepared I am for my ambitions.
Yeah I was going to say. My AuDHD has my profile looking like I’m the most interesting person on earth. They don’t know that I’m just always planning to take up hobbies, and not really diving in fully on any of them. Always planning, never doing :(
I have a friend that is always trying to convince me to join the local makerspace, but they don’t understand that means I would then also have to leave my house and look like an idiot in front of strangers.
It would probably save me a lot of money, but… Now I own a desktop CNC. It’s still in the box, but I own one!
"Likely lives in City, State"
Birch you ship everything I've ever ordered to the same address. Best you can do is "likely"?
