Cory DoctorowLove that the slop merchants are using my book to (further) enshittify Amazon, and that Amazon's terrible QA standards is letting 'em do it.
James Mitchell-White@pluralistic not to teach my grandmother to suck eggs privacy-wise... But shouldn't you hide your location in the screenshot (sorry, just concerned)
@kuraisle The fact that I live in Burbank is a matter of public record (it's on my jacket flap!) and 91505 is the ZIP for 80% of town, but it's a good point!
@pluralistic ah in the UK your postcode is a lot more specific! I suppose ZIP codes have to cover a much larger area
draeath@kuraisle @pluralistic we have an extra part of the code for a smaller area, but you don't often see it. An example would be "27604-2017"

In lower density areas the zip+4 designates a single mailbox
@draeath @kuraisle @pluralistic
In my neighborhood it covers one side of one block (five houses). I used to have a post office box with 72xxx-1086
Guess what my box number was?
Jonathan Yu@johntimaeus Box number 1086? Or perhaps just 86?
