That’s what I was getting at, I was trying to understand the mechanism by which they were doing this

When they say access to social media on smartphones does that mean restricting connectivity to certain sites on devices using mobile IP addresses?

I assume they have no mechanism to remove apps from individual devices.

What is your concern about giving your ID to LinkedIn? You mention leaks of IDs, but is that the primary reason? If leaks, what is the worst case scenario?

For me, I think of privacy in terms of other people not knowing my business, not knowing thoughts or activities I don’t want them to, and not trying to unduly influence me, especially using information they may have learned about me.

LinkedIn is inherently about sharing information about yourself publicly. It’s saying, “Hey, I’m {name} and I’m a {type of profession} and here are the types of work I’ve done previously.” So to me, having to give LinkedIn my id isn’t much more of a risk than the endeavor of using LinkedIn anyways. It’s giving away a little personal information in order to gain personal benefit.

I’ve found it to be worthwhile. Since a little over ten years ago I’ve changed jobs twice and both were from headhunters contacting me. I’ve also spoke to a handful of other potential employers via headhunters. I don’t think they would have found me if it weren’t for my profile. So I’d say go for it.

Also for what it’s worth, I don’t think the “ban” is because they object to a VPN so much as people are constantly trying to create fake profiles. Asking for ID is a way to fend off inauthentic users.

Lastly, if you’re not already, I’d strongly recommend participating in a professional association. Despite potential awkwardness of talking with strangers, connecting with someone face to face is a much more effective way of finding work than sending applications out into the void. You’re a real person to someone when face to face and participating in activities, instead of an email that can be ignored. In the group I belong to I’ve seen multiple people show up looking for work and find it.

Have to admit I only skimmed the article, but i did not think it was intuitive that one of the groups they put people in was those who “desire chaos.” Is that a scientifically recognized trend? Because I don’t really think of that being a common personality trait.

I really want this to move the needle, please!

Sorry friend, but if someone is asking a question, telling them to read about it rather than provide the meat of the answer doesn’t seem too helpful.

You’re under no obligation to explain anything to anyone, but if you’re going to take the time to respond why not elaborate?

I don’t get my hair cut that frequently, but to each their own. This was downvoted to zero when I found it, I like to imagine one of the “six months” or “never” guys were responsible.

Yeah, I used to go to a place where they’d schedule me out based on three weeks, which I liked better, but now this new place leaves it to me to remember and schedule myself. I don’t remember, so it’s closer to 4-5 weeks.

It’s news to me. Do you have any further reading about it you can share?

Here’s Wikipedia too

You’re right it’s bad that they shut down. Does make me wonder about the use of “traitors” since I don’t think tiktok could ever have been considered on the side of the people.

I hope these events result in better lives for Indonesians.

Something I liked about the response to LA was people showing up at hotels where occupiers were staying and driving them out. There’s a sort of group denunciation happening, and then also it just makes it hard to do the work - they don’t have enough sleep, they have to travel farther to the intended area of action.

What about other ways to foul logistics? And what are other ways to shame/demoralize people supporting the regime? Totalitarians require everyday people to carry out their orders. The more people we peel away or disillusion the less control a totalitarian can exert.

This is helpful, thanks.

You’re right. But the headline is “the days of custom android ROMs are numbered”

After reading the article seems like a sensationalized headline. One of the major ROMs is on hiatus and may never return. And the process of installing custom ROMs is challenging. Not good, frustrating, but different than “soon no one will be able to do this”

Same, I’m interested. I’ve done very limited experimenting with LM studio and follow a couple related subreddits but would prefer to support lemmy.

This is a good post.

Thinking about it some more, I don’t necessarily mind if someone said “I googled it and…” then provides some self generated summary of what they found which is relevant to the discussion.

I wouldn’t mind if someone did the same with an LLM response. But just like I don’t want to read a copy and paste of chatgpt results I don’t want to read someone copy/pasting search results with no human analysis.

Besides the other commenter highlighting the specific nature of the linked study, I will say I’m generally doing technical queries where if the answer is wrong, it’s apparent because the AI suggestion doesn’t work. Think “how do I change this setting” or “what’s wrong with the syntax in this line of code”. If I try the AI’s advice and it doesn’t work, then I ask again or try something else.

I would be more concerned about subjects where I don’t have any domain knowledge whatsoever, and not working on a specific application of knowledge, because then it could be a long while before I realize the response was wrong.
