I guess even the finest minds of Microsoft couldn't figure out how to further enshittify LinkedIn? Sometimes a rock bottom is a rock bottom

I can see no reason why anyone would ever need a dedicated LinkedIn button.

They took away my precious stars on the AP reading app and that is a bridge too far college board. I earned those four stars!!!!

if you are a hr rep and dont have a linkedin keyboard then how do you pretend like you're doing work for 89-98% of your workday

I recently got a phish attack email from someone impersonating my boss and when I clicked the contact details, outlook displayed his real linkedin profile as the only possible match (he has an uncommon name) complete with profile picture. Very useful feature! Also I logged in to facebook for the first time in many months and my feed was all ai slop of old people with 100th year birthday cakes and nothing else. Absolutely dead site.

I deleted my Facebook account in 2018, but I created a phoney one with a fakish name so I can use marketplace (unfortunately my beloved Craigslist is pretty dead these days). When I do accidentally end up on my account's home page, which has no friends, the feed is full of really bizarre clickbait stuff from mostly African and South east Asian accounts - elder talks for first time in 50 years, you won't believe what he told the villagers first! Will bring tears to your eyes! Or linked-in style aspirational business posts but from bangladesh. that sort of poo poo. Like, it knows my IP address and marketplace searches are in America, why not show me American stuff? Stuff I could potentially want to engage with? It knows im searching for welding tools and guitars on marketplace, why not show me stuff about welding or music? I'm really not sure what Facebook even is anymore.

FB remains the same - a data mining platform which is also useful for state surveillance.

LinkedIn seemed to get proactive in the new year, like pushing these "famous" people on the network I should connect with.

I just came up with a million dollar idea. Its like cameo but in reverse. You get a bunch of CEOs and Product Managers to sign up and then people pay whatever fee to have them watch a video with feedback about their product. $500 and you can curse out the person that designed the Microsoft Teams UI team for 10 minutes.

Uh oh, chats are too long! To all AP users, Chat has been experiencing intermittent issues due to long chat messages that overwhelmed the servers AP Reading getting real lovely real quick.

You are not the customer, you are the product being sold to the customer. Everything has been this way forever. Especially cell phones and ISPs more than anyone else. Facebook only gets a grain of sand compared to the data your cell carrier and ISP are selling. That said, if all we do is poo poo post, then kudos to anyone that figures out a way to profit on that who isn't named Jeffrey.

Good news, everyone: we've increased the frequency of recommending YouTube Shorts from a couple days to the time it takes to watch a full video and then reopen YouTube in a new tab. Please, I'm begging you for the love of god and everything you hold dear, watch YouTube Shorts

I just opened the YouTube home page for the first time in a long time and it's nothing but videos I've already watched and car reviews, a thing I think I've never watched one of. And apparently I can play Crossy Road on it.credburn posted:You'll never get me to watch videos that look like they are meant to be viewed on a cellular telephone They suck rear end on a phone too.
