Ah, I see. Yeah, I keep forgetting that a lot of people use LinkedIn for job-searching (I mean, I kinda do too, but been active on it like 7 years without a single follow-through). I see it as a networking tool. Job-searching may be part of it, but business leaders and ultra wealthy use it to make connections and support each other (theoretically). Businesses/creators would be the target market. Maybe some job-search aspect to it at some point.
Haha, this is true. Hence why I was looking for a way to serve people.
Yeah, that’s why I was kinda wondering.
Yeah, that’s what I was hoping for. I’m a believer that money = value. If something or someone is valuable, it should be paid for and there’s nothing wrong with that.
I’m also a believer that you can operate in FOSS/Fedi-mode and still make money.
Yup, an instance would be paid, but if someone wanted to launch a service of their own they totally could…they just won’t have the upstream features and the primary support from the paid instance.
Job-seeker/employer is only a drop in the ocean of what professional networking (and LinkedIn) is about. It’s a community of businesses that all help each other collaborate and build…a way to share ideas and make new connections…at least, I think that’s what everyone wants it to be.
Nope, no verification system…complete opposite…you’d just need to pay an I don’t care who you are (I’d even take crypto like Monero). I think being on week 4 of wrestling with LinkedIn’s verification system (being in LI jail for the 3rd time!) has made me sick of it.
One thing I like about the fediverse is it’s very community-driven. If I come across a spam message on Mastodon, I’ll start to report it to the community but find 10 others who are saying the same thing and within 5 minutes the dude is out. Meanwhile LinkedIn has a draconian verification system that treats its users like toddlers, while every other week I have someone asking to take over my UpWork account (and LI doesn’t ban them).
Just goes to show that love can help turn someone’s life around.
Thankfully I haven’t been in the prison system (and I don’t know anyone personally who is), nor do I hope to. But it seems like a very bleak existence.
I’m glad cats are giving the prisoners at least a substitute of love and support.
I just wanna give that little guy a pat on the head. good job, little beaver. Keep making your home.
I’ve been hearing about sustainable animal food as well, at least in the context of marine life. Counter-intuitively, avoiding overfishing results in more fish. It’s probably similar with farming…avoiding over-farming results in more and better quality cattle/milk.
I’m not a biologist, though, but I’m just guessing.
Was it ever for jobs?
Been an active user for well over 5 years and not one interaction has resulted in a job.
A bunch of people acting like they were hiring, sure.
Inspiring Philosophy lays out the whole issue here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ei0gPoqx_bQ
I know it’s age-blocked due to some of the content, so if anyone knows where to find the youtube-alternative link that would be awesome.

It’s not easy, but I used to be in the “we need to make everything fair” crowd.
Now (currently unable to afford groceries myself) I’m part of the “if I’m not getting paid my worth, I must show my worth.”
Yup, start by running nvidia-smi to get the details on your Nvidia. Then install pytorch. The rest is up to you!
Social security never made any sense to me anyway. Why not just make the economy healthy so that people can save into old age? Perhaps invest a little into financial literacy so someone doesn’t blow all their savings in Vegas when they’re 45. It’s frustrating the the government’s like, “You can’t spend that money. We don’t think you’re smart enough to plan for the future, but we’re ethical enough we’ll keep it for you and return it to you when you’re old and grouchy.”
They basically want more data points on people to sell to advertisers.
It’s big tech. That’s how big tech works.
While proponents of the new method have theorized it would be painless, opponents have likened it to human experimentation.
Isn’t that how we’re doing the death penalty anyway? We’re trying to find a “painless” way to kill someone, but is there ever really a painless way to do this? I’d imagine even if I’m sitting in a massage chair with classical music playing it wouldn’t matter if I knew that half an hour from now I wouldn’t be leaving the room.
And we can’t really ask doctors because doctors have taken an oath to “do no harm.”
The death penalty is just a punishment no one wants to do (well, okay, I’m sure there are plenty of people that have no problem with it), but we’ve told ourselves that we have to do it.
Yup, reddit never cared about the user. They’re not a nonprofit. They’re a business. So this wasn’t a surprise to me.
Google finds users are covering their ears and closing their eyes; releases nanobots to force eyes open and lock hands behind back.
True, and thanks.
