  • Is there a FOSS Linkedin alternative?

    Jump

  • 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.

  • they don't have the unlimited budget for designers that Adobe does.

  • Was anybody else just burned by the Tor Browser flatpak?

    Jump

  • 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.

  • The spring Steam sale is happening right now. What games do you want to play but won't buy despite a deep discount and why?

    Jump

  • As an American i wish i could do the same.

    Jump

  • 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.

  • Google Photos does OCR on handwriting

  • You just reminded me that i wanted to make my own form of shorthand for my notes, and stuff like this might be a good reason to

  • Suppose you were a dissident facing political persecution, how would you preserve your personal files so that you can retrieve it many years later, in case of imprisonment?

    Jump

  • I feel like that's gonna end up full of water after a few years even if it's supposedly waterproof. Like a small pool that silica gel can't help with.

  • When making a post that fits multiple communities, should I just pick the most relevant/popular one or repost to the other ones as well?

    Jump

  • I think the crossposting feature lemmy has effectively does this, but I'm not sure

  • clown world

    Jump

  • Nobody here anyway. I know plenty of people who would never believe it and call you paranoid for saying something like that. Very important to keep pointing it out.

  • Malware Warning on video files

    Jump

  • You laugh in Linux now, but just wait until the year of the Linux desktop comes. Every malware developer on earth will be knocking on our door.

  • apparently startpage\startmail has an exclusive partnership with Dan Bongino??

  • What can I actually do with 64 GB or RAM?

    Jump

  • Ah, that's probably fair, i haven't run many of the smaller models yet.

  • What can I actually do with 64 GB or RAM?

    Jump

  • You could potentially run some smaller MoE models as they don't take up too much memory while running. I'd suspect the deepseek r1 8B distill with some quantization would work well.

  • How does Gboard know what my friends has typed?

    Jump

  • You know, assuming they have a background with years of coding experience and have the necessary knowledge to decompile a program and the necessary free time to reverse engineer the gibberish the decompiler spits out only for it all to be for nothing before they even finish because a new version was released.

  • There's hope for privacy yet

    Jump

  • Many smart TVs still give you popups telling you to connect to the internet or they simply refuse work without connection. There's not a very good way to tell if any smart TV you get will do this ahead of time without looking over reviews, and even then many people just connect their TVs anyway so it might not show up there either.

    I'd prefer to just have a display that works as a display from the start and not have to worry about it.

  • If scientists could make you immortal but could only do it by transferring your consciousness into a single video game for ever, which game would you choose?

    Jump

  • A couple follow-ups, are we limited by the rules of the game, or is it like we're actually living there? Like if I'm in gta v, do i get to pick up a pencil and write a book, is everything in the game at real-life fidelity, or am i stuck with the regular game inputs and graphics?

    Am i able to add mods to the game? Can i add new mods after my first startup? I would assume there's a way to reset or restart the game in case of bugs and softlocks so maybe there's a hub i can use to do those kinds of things.

    I think i might pick gmod + mods. That way i could build some interesting projects in sandbox, play games that people make for it, maybe even watch some YouTube early on before compatibility breaks. I'd also have a 1:1 scale model of the multiverse to explore.

  • Why do AI bros and other staunch AI defenders seem happy about the potential of killing off the creative industries?

    Jump

  • My guy, we live in a world where we are required to have a job to live. Most of those jobs are not essential for society to function. Some of these jobs make people happy and passionate, many others are soul grating and awful. This technology makes some of those enjoyable jobs much less lucrative while the product becomes worse. We simply lose things that bring people joy and for what? Like seriously, I cannot think of something an ai can bring to the table that a human cannot in terms of art.

    Why would you want to remove the jobs people enjoy and are passionate about just for the sake of it? Why would you campaign to strictly make people less happy? If it wasn't for the horrible system we live in I'd be all for this kind of advancement, but it does not make life easier, it does not get us better things, and it almost exclusively makes life worse for millions of people with nothing to show for it.
