But that sounds so CONVENIENT!

No! just No! 🖕

I'll pass

Nope.

Nope.

Nope.

waiting for the reports of paying with a stolen hand :/

I do not live in the US so Amazon's presence is far less. I assume you send in your bio metrics to make this work?

Amazing, this is so convenient, where can I sign up? 🤡

Human laziness never ceases to amaze me

nostr:note1zz403eqaqujcv9053a69kc0saaguwlyn3hnz6feejwyc2xnnxmxq07epty esses sistemas de pagamento com biometria são bem práticos. Porém eu não gosto dessa idéia pq expõe a pessoas isso pode ser usado pra rastrear pessoas. A não ser que fosse um sistema totalmente independente de biometria.

I prefer the name "Amazon Finger".

That is so not inclusive towards people who don't have hands. I'm offended on their behalf.

They’re such handists. It’s despicable.

Nope that will be a hard pass for me!

the last line in the article is the kicker

…However, the company says that it will share the data, “if it is required to comply with a legally valid and binding order.”

Bezos going after bozos 🤡

I'm gonna pass... also gonna pass on paying whole foods prices...

A lot of NPCs just got excited to try out this cool tech!!!

Stay humble, stack hands.

Unreal... Or to real...

Why not amazon 2

No thanks.

I will not eat the bugs

I will not buy the blue check…

I will not pay with my palm?

It's wrong on so many levels... But still, NPCs are going to fall for it because of 🤷‍♂️.

I saw that this past week at my local whole foods, and literally said, "ew".

🤮 Catch deez hands

Do we get AMZ tokens for scanning our palm?

I've seen this in a few stores. You need an amazon prime account to use this type of payment. So far they haven't made this a requirement, you can still pay using credit card or cash.

Interesting paying method. Next, they’ll place the scanner a bit higher and slightly further away from the counter.

Incumbents will do anything to not implement bitcoin lightning

Wonder if these amazon rubes will also be lining up to kiss the orb?

So who it the first person to lose a hand to an identity thief?

Those that register for this "convenience" are past saving. Let them burn in slavery, fucking idiots.

Here in Venezuela there has been a biometric payment system (fingerprint) for a few years now. Called "Biopago", this system belongs to the main state bank (Banco de Venezuela) and has the widest population coverage. This system allows to make a payment by placing the fingerprint and get paid not only from the bank of origin of the device. But from any bank in the country's banking system, whether state or private.

It has increased its reach lately and may have a greater use. Because the device is seen in many more commercial premises. And for many it seems "more comfortable and easier" to make the payment this way.

Only now the biggest bank, the State, has more data on the consumption of the users and you know what an authoritarian government like the Venezuelan one will want to do.

Never.

Can I use a "palm"eranian to checkout?

Hands down the worst idea ever… /snicker

No.

Blue Checks, Worldcoin, Palms...

All targeting the very same use case. It's accelerating.

Just waiting for Google, Apple, Meta to hop on the wagon. Probably soon.

No 👎 thanks that's a hard pass for me.

No thanks I’m good

Whole new meaning of shake hands...

Wow I heard about this but thought it was fake

Paying by iris is on its way. I remember hearing how more unique the human iris vs finger prints

Amazon One.

seems everyone’s racing for the dominant position.

inb4 Amazon One app competes with X for wechat of the west.

Mccormick will be all over this 🤣

He will love it man.

Thanks I hate it

Strong "mark of the beast" vibes.

Idiot fucking sandwich's everywhere

I'll be rubbing my dick cheese all over it see who uses it after that.

Ugh. I need eye bleach. That comment was way too illustrative.

Which just goes to show how effective it will be.

There's a bit in Chuck Palanuiks "Fight Club" that isn't in the movie.

One of the characters is doing a catering job in a horrible and classist woman's mansion.

To teach her a lesson he leaves a note next to her very expensive perfume collection, comprised of 100s of bottles of designer perfume:

" I pissed in one of these bottles, good luck guessing which one"

She ends up throwing every bottle in the trash.

It's later revealed that the person didn't actually piss in a bottle at all.

No thank you. #fuckbezos

Been up-and-running for a few weeks at the Whole Foods in Nashville. Shameful.

I am sure this sensitive data is all safe in Amazons hands...

Can I use my dog's paw ? 😂

Does it checks if the palm is connected to a living person?

Mark of the beast

Bitcoiner shopping soon:

🥸+🧤+🎩

Are the #Bitcoin diamond-hand gloves already in production.

#WinterIsComing #DiamondHands

I #disavow ed #amazon #forgood today - I will not buy anything ever again from that #company . FACT

Meanwhile, bitcoiners are using @thebitcoincompany for whole foods gift cards ;)

counter palm technology with middle finger technology

*sings* “we got the whole world in our hands, we got the whole world…doot de doo” *whistles merrily*. /insert evil corp logo.

Well goddamn

What can posibly go wrong

I don't get this. Aside from LLMs, it seems like most of our recent technological "innovations" are barely marginal increases in convenience for drastic intrusions into our privacy.

Is it that hard to pull your phone out of your pocket and pay with that? Hell, you probably have it out already and need to stick it in your pocket to use the palm reader. 🙄

nostr:note1zz403eqaqujcv9053a69kc0saaguwlyn3hnz6feejwyc2xnnxmxq07epty

That's convenient!!!!!!!!

Resist the orb!!!

palms huh, that will surely never lead to anything serious.

If you can't zap them, use cash.

It’s out there, truly dystopian. This coupled with cbdc’s, it’s a brave new world in the worst way.

Glad I saved this one.
