My computer doesn't support Win11, so I have that going for me. Transitioning to the Steam Deck for my gaming, which has been a slow but mostly positive process. Some of the games don't play well outside of Windows, but none of the ones I really want to play, and I can always switch to my computer if I do.

I don't think I'll ever own a Win11 computer.

DIY vs. outsourcing. Your actions are still harming children.

A cogent argument. I'm convinced!

It's true you will never get rid of all of it but, just like crime, basic enforcement is a deterrence. They know who's buying, they know where they're shipped, they have a fair idea if they're returned. Just requiring reviews to be from purchasers after they've received the product, removing positive reviews for returns without replacement (or flagging them as returned), and a few other steps would make fake reviews either very expensive or very expensive for the results.

The fact is, Amazon makes most of their money on AWS, and I don't think they care to put in the real effort to make their marketplace trustworthy again. Without that, it will continue its downward spiral.

He may have honored his parents. He looks like mommy and acts like daddy.

I have better things to do, that's why I'm here.

This feel like the whole "chefs are insulted if you order well done steak" thing. I get the sentiment, and you probably can't show the limits of your skill with a well done steak, but the customer isn't going to enjoy it more if you give them what they don't want.

Strawberries? White wine?

You specifically said you chose the MIT license because you wanted to use it in commercial projects. That's business, no matter how small. As the owner of the property, you could have used any and all licenses available to you. Also, if you wanted to require users of your code to attribute or notify you, you could have. If you want to be disappointed in their behavior that's perfectly fine, too. Corporations usually disappoint if you have any altruistic expectations of them.

Won't keep fake reviews off their platform. It's not a matter of ability, but of will.
