Nothing made me care so little about buying things than the corporations desperate want for me to buy them.

New games? Eh I’ll replay mass effect or skyrim. New hardware (before the crisis), looks real nice, don’t think I need it. The more they pushed me to buy the less I cared. If they all started chilling out maybe I’d get back into it, but doesn’t look like it.

Nope sounds right, sounds like she had heart failure already and this kicked it off. She wanted to go out the way she lived, as a Karen.

To all of us who have worked a drive thru before, utterly unsurprised. Of course she was willing to give her life up over a sandwich.

Karening to the max

What they aren’t going to try it the day they receive them? Do any of us not play with new toys the same conditions we get them?

Congrats! I know it’s yet another app but I think you’ll find the audiobooks tailored experience is so much nicer

Simple, I think it’s a great idea and so I care about it.

Yes you are very passionate if you’ve left so many comments about this, which is why I go back to my base question - why not just ignore it then if you find no use out of it?

Yes? I don’t understand the point you’re trying to make now. CVs, skills, etc sound specific to this so they wouldn’t be federated. Social features like posts, replies, comments would be, as they match ActivityPub, they’re not extending the protocol or anything for it.

So I really don’t understand why you’re so upset at the app. If you don’t want the professional stuff then it’s as simple as not signing up for an account. If you don’t want any social things from them then it’s the same as any activitypub: defederate or block.

You don’t like it, I think that’s obvious, but I don’t understand the multi-comment thread where your argument seems to be “I don’t like it so it shouldn’t exist”. You don’t have to understand why other people find it useful for it to be useful to those other people.

Don’t subscribe to users from there then, and even then doesn’t sound like this would be federated?

On a separate, professional site.

That’s quite literally what this app appears to be trying to do.

Where would I put my CV and professional details, my skills and abilities? I don’t know man, I see some real value here, what’s the harm of it?

Except, I don’t want those people in my regular circles on my regular accounts, I keep work and personal separate. I’d prefer to have a separate account, just like this that’s linked to my professional life. This fills that need for me

Interesting. I fully expect it to be a bunch of Linux nerds. However, us linux nerds share job postings with others.

I have only received jobs for the last 10 years via social features. I hate it, I don’t enjoy it, but networking and people skills are the way to a good network. I started blogging and recruiters started pinging me regularly. It has a place

Open carriers show off two major things, and neither one of them are “tough guy”.

First is fragile masculinity, they are worried that they aren’t seen as “manly” enough, so they have to show off to everyone that they are totally manly. It’s like women wearing that new handbag out and about, they want others to notice it.

Second is pure fear, fear that at any time any moment something is going to happen, and the only way they feel safe is by carrying a lethal weapon with them at all times. You know, rather than dealing with what is causing the fear in the first place.

So, we have a terrified person carrying a lethal weapon who is worried about what everyone around them think. To me, that’s the more worrying person in a room.
