LinkedIn’s LLM-powered automation banned my account on a false positive a few months ago, and it took ages to get it sorted out and they treated me like shit the entire way through even after acknowledging that they’d made a mistake. Sadly it’s extremely difficult to operate in my field without a LinkedIn account, because I would love to be able to delete it.
This shit is poison
I think it’s a deliberately bad name chosen as a Malicious Compliance type fuck-you to people who wanted it to sound “professional”.
There’s already Latex
wait what? Latex is used in tons of non-sexytime things, surely nobody’s raising an eyebrow at that?
You know how sometimes a story seems so completely crazy, that you wonder what detail has been left out? Like… the payment provider just randomly wanted a list of all passwords? What?
Newish account to promote loops
Probably, but it seems to be an open-source fediverse community project with no VC backing, so I don’t begrudge them it. Like, how else do you get fediverse projects seen if not in a fediverse discussion community, you want them to just buy Google ads instead?
Yeah. I’m a big fan of his, but his social media presence has always had the whiff of “professional social media team” about it.
Literally every post they make is going to have a thousand people telling them to go fuck themselves
wow, I didn’t need any more reasons not to support Oracle but thanks anyway
Don’t forget you can block communities that irritate you. I’ve got plenty blocked that aren’t even things I’m opposed to, but just don’t want my feed to be full of.
Yeah, I wish they’d made the second graph show percentage point difference instead of percentage growth.
Not even a good film.
All I’m seeing there is he decided to deliberately did something wrong on behalf of an imaginary person and then complain that doing the deliberately wrong thing broke the computer.
Hopping on this to share that Milo Learns made by some of my Cambodian friends also just added Japanese for conversation practice. It has an online community as well if you don’t like talking to an AI. But sadly it is freemium, so OP wins on that front. https://milo.niy.ai/
weirdest use of that meme format to date
also the irony of 145 IQ man tripping over his own grammar
One huge problem is that most people on Facebook neither know nor care what sinister things Meta are doing to them. Everyone thinks they’re immune to propaganda, and most people don’t understand the true extent with which they’re being tracked or what’s being done with that data.
Can’t remember who it was (b3ta? popbitch? penny-arcade?), but I recently saw a comment by someone who’s been running a website since the turn of the millennium, and they said that fully 99% of the links they posted two decades ago were no longer valid.
To really put that into perspective, you have to remember that for most sites to get linked to from a popular site like that, meant that it was usually something of value that would have had a lot of work put into it, and that people found interesting or useful.
One bummer about ‘burner accounts’ in 2025 is it seems to be increasingly difficult to have a true anonymous burner account that doesn’t involve someone getting your PII. A few short years ago you could just get a disposable email address from a bunch of places and use it to sign up, but now everything seems to be super locked down to where you either need an existing email address or a phone number to create an email account, both of which tend to have ways of being tied back to you.
I don’t know if there’s even any email services left that will just give you an account no questions asked, but I’ll bet if there are they’ll already be rejected as invalid by the big players.
Sorry, I’m still stuck on what the limiting aspect of it is. “Operating on hundreds of pages that each have limited reach” costs next to nothing if it’s all automated with bots.
Also if you’re not participating in shareholders meetings, proposing resolutions and voting on them, then you’re not even really owning the stock in any meaningful way. You’re just holding a virtual piece of paper hoping the number goes up.
Don’t know if they’re still doing it but a small IBM shareholder used to annually table a motion that all payments to political parties and individuals be explained, and the board kept recommending a “No” vote.
