I waddled onto the beach and stole found a computer to use.

  • YSK How to opt out of LinkedIn using your profile to train generative AI (see post body for direct links)

  • No problem, hope it saved people some time :)

  • LinkedIn will soon use your data to train AI. Here’s what you can do to opt out.

  • The AI tool that I saw on there was to give users advice on “how to make your profile better”. The tips were generic garbage, so maybe after they train the AI on member profiles, the tips can be even more generic garbage.

  • The thumbnail image is cool

  • It ruins the fun, but using punctuation would have helped

    They added "The Thing" to Netflix

  • I can't imagine using it unless you're actively looking for work, or you work in marketing for your company. Even then, its only relevant for certain fields, and useless for the rest

  • Lemmy.kde.social should works again

  • Thank you!

  • [META] Community discussion regarding AI & clickbait

    Jump

  • Thanks for posting this discussion, I agree with the general consensus from the edit.

    Thumbnails are annoying to deal with, and I had trouble the few times when I tried to address it in my own posts. It's a lot more work to pull a different thumbnail and replace the autogenerated one, especially if you're on mobile and just want to share something quickly. Still, if someone is posting low effort spam/clickbait often, I'd agree with a mod telling them to knock it off

  • This one is cool! What inspired you for this one?

    I think sometimes when people see art and it invokes feelings, and trying to identify the feeling they look for what it reminds them of. Which then might spiral off into more people sharing without that reasoning

    Maybe, but could it also be an intentional dark pattern to make it difficult to cancel?

  • Outcry over ExpressVPN ownership: What the Israeli connection means for user privacy

    Jump

  • Just do like 10 minutes of research before you buy

    The average person might not know what's reputable and what's not. A lot of the VPN review sites are also secretly run by the VPN companies, or get paid off by them. Someone might even mix up the bad PrivacyTools for the legitimate PrivacyGuides

  • Between Forgejo, Gitea, Gitlab etc., which do you prefer and why?

    Jump

  • Thanks, I've edited the title accordingly

  • Plex or Jellyfin for my Raspberry Pi?

    Jump

  • I haven't heard of any learning curve with Jellyfin. It seems easy to set up, and the apps are about as user friendly as you can get (especially the third party ones)
