What have you tried so far?

Ah. I understand. I think I got more caught up in the Amazon part than the biometrics. They seem to be increasingly intrusive.

I don't believe that credit card companies can see individual itemized groceries. Please correct me if I am wrong. I was thinking that Amazon having information as a direct connection to your food purchases (and general nutritional value thereof) would give more details into nutritional habits that could be linked to medical issues. Ex: products with a lot of sugar for diabetics, products high in sodium for persons with high blood pressure or heart failure, etc. With the more detailed information to be potentially shared with third parties, if it was a health insurance company, I am sure they would gladly use that information not to pay for certain medical treatments that they would usually cover using non-compliance to diet as an excuse.

Also "they don't pay me enough to give a shit about how it's cut".

Biometric data and food shopping habits. Share this to health insurance companies and they will come up with reasons why not to pay for certain health conditions. That's my guess. Dangerous territory.

Yes. Swipe really hard right. You will first encounter an upvote with a short right swipe, but if you continue swiping, you'll reach the downvote.

Edit: please forgive me, I thought I was in the Voyager community. Re: Connect, I have not yet found a way to downvote. If you find a way, feel free to downvote me.

You do you. It seems like many folks don't wish to give reddit any more of their time, others would like to see more people join the fediverse, some may not want to invite more Reddit users due to various reasons (increasing trolls, having people shit on lemmy because it is not yet polished and they can't figure it out, increasing strain on servers, or whatever their reason is). While we are still freshly in the post-migration phase since the implemented changes, we may still pick up a few new users, but I don't believe we will have such a surge again until there's another big change perhaps at the point where casual participants get fed up with the billionty ads, shitty app, and trolls who stay to earn their karma.

Lol no worries, friend. I assumed it was a staged photo for the article. Still thought it was amusing. :)

Fresh =/= canned > none

Both are good. Different flavors, different textures.

Thanks for the update. Was wondering why I was having issues logging in.
