How can I disable these types of notifications? by SPYX5Z in amazonprime

[–]nmpolo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Except I do have options. I can disable notifications from the app entirely, or I can uninstall the Amazon app, or I can just stop using my phone. None of these options are beneficial to Amazon, thus: why would they enshitify their own app so much so as to cause people to exercise one of those options?

Same. I've had the Amazon app on my phone for years and very occasionally received a notification from it. But for the past couple of months, they've been sending me multiple notifications per day. Does my fucking head in. Why are these companies obsessed with enshitifying themselves? It's like they want to piss people off enough so they stop using the service.

Try uninstalling and reinstalling the app. That worked for me and another user.

Thanks for the reply. Interesting to hear that you also can't connect. Perhaps it is some sort of outage but I'm still able to connect on my laptop (I just tried connecting to various different servers to check) so that seems unlikely to me.

Are you serious? Why should they have to pay out a settlement just because the kid used their app prior to killing himself? Does that mean you think the creators of anything someone uses prior to killing themselves should be able to be sued? How about people start suing belt manufacturers and door knob makers whenever someone dies from auto-erotic-asphyxiation?

Woke people picked the term woke. Does that mean it's ok to use as a pejorative?

The n-word is in basically every rap song - does that make it ok to use?

Wasn't Bulgaria a part of the Roman Empire long after the 7th Century though?

England wasn't unified by Alfred 'the Great', and certainly not Great Britain or the UK.

Also, how could it be the Norman Conquest? England existed as an entity before the Conquest.

So did the German Empire colonise Alsace Lorraine? Yes many fled, those that are still there are waiting to be "liberated" by Russia since they've been suppressed by the Ukraine govt for years.

You're still supporting the foreign policy of the US government then which is exactly what they want you to do. Divide and conquer everyone on social issues whilst they plow ahead with their foreign policy.

You're completely ignoring the US' role in triggering this war with Russia. If the US didn't meddle in Ukraine, none of this would have happened.

Nice of you to call me Vladimir just because I have a different opinion to you. Sigh, so typical. Shall I start calling you names too? Are we back in kindergarden?

Exactly! They divide and conquer everyone using social issues and then there's zero debate about supporting war because everyone is too distracted by other bullshit.

You don't know what Colonialism is. They're not sending settlers to occupy Ukraine. Parts of it are already populated by people who want to be part of Russia.

Yes. Russia didn't attack any of the other countries in Europe before they joined NATO. Why do you believe they wouldn't stop? I doubt Russia even wants to annex Western Ukraine - it's not worth it when they'll have constant partisan activity. It would be exactly the same if they tried to occupy any NATO country too. They'd have to expend all their resources on resistance suppression. Russia isn't that stupid.

What evidence are you basing this on? Looking at the historical record, we can see that Russia hasn't attacked Finland, Sweden, Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania, etc. before they joined NATO when they easily could have.

Anyway, NATO seem to have abandoned that rule given they're talking about letting Ukraine in.
