... Are you arguing for or against things getting worse?

But how do I differentiate between visiting the chemist and visiting the chemist?

I've been passively worried how long it'll be until American Tienanmen square, if i even end up hearing about it.

Yeah encryption is pretty good. These days the most reliable means of cracking it is a wrench.

Anything is an act of aggression with them. The only tong you can do that they won't call an act of aggression at this point is rolling over and giving them your country.

It's abusive tactics 101, the only way to stop the abuse is to do the things they don't want you to do, even if it gets worse first.

Well I'm not trying to argue against one being written, just that once it is written, it will still not be what it was made to be.

LinkedIn is defined by its user base of recruiters and corporations, which draws in professionals seeking jobs. It becomes a cycle, but importantly for this conversation, it is controlled by recruiters.

This is in contrast to any other social media where regular people draw in more regular people. A FOSS LinkedIn will not only have the network effect to fight, but it will also be up against the will of corporations, not just the slow buildup of users.

I guess another way to put it is a FOSS LinkedIn cannot grow with a few users joining here and there. You have to convince Amazon to move over first.

I think that because of the heavily corporate nature of what it's used for and the fact that it requires certain corporate users to be on it, there will not be anything close to a FOSS LinkedIn for a very long time.

From an implementation standpoint LinkedIn is more or less just social media. I don't think hiring managers will switch their tactics over to a FOSS platform without a very strong push over a long period of time. while corporate nonsense may be pushing us that way, that same bs is a boon to them if anything.

Not criticizing the website design. I don't expect them to have an expensive flashy website. I am criticizing you for equating the snipping tool with having an unlimited budget for designers like adobe does. It does not take a team of designers to add a screenshot to your website showcasing a feature.

Probably depends on distro i guess. I use manjaro and all the official packages are really clean on my system, but as soon as an aur package fails to build then the pain begins.

Flatpaks have always been really buggy for me. Most of them require at least some amount of tinkering in flatseal to get them running properly, others require some amount of specialized care. I find if you need something running properly and cannot afford hidden bugs then it's best to try to get something made for your distro if possible.
