#262You still have a linkedin? Isn't that just all ai slop?
If you know a better place to look for open positions in Europe, I'm listening.
Country-specific local job boards are best. Big tech companies (LinkedIn, Indeed, Glassdoor) are terrible for this purpose. Always apply directly on a potential employers' website, best through email if they accept that. Even printing your application and sending it by mail is a far better option than applying through LinkedIn or Indeed.

Kind of. I've had a strict policy since LinkedIn launched of only connecting with people I've actually met and had at least some meaningful conversation with. Most of my contacts are former work colleagues. I think this makes my feed and audience a bit less spammy and grifty.
Never connect with anyone you haven’t met. If a work colleague or someone is on a call and doesn’t use video, no connection either. Don’t upload and store your resume on LinkedIn. There is no reason to do so. Also, I don’t recall where this setting is, but make the default behavior such that if someone finds you and tries to connect with you, they actually follow you instead. This cuts down aggressively on spammers b…
Why? It's pretty useful for connecting with recruiters in my experience, and I don't think anyone can actually do anything just because they have a connection with you.
I do ignore the connections from random students though tbf.

#264LinkedIn is Tiktokified social media brainrot disguised as serious work. „Hey - you‘re not wasting time, you‘re building your network and gather industry knowledge!“ LinkedIn is full if so called professionals who make a living by leveraging their brand. If you‘re not one of them, leave
I use it as write-only media and I had an okay experience. I have met a lot of people IRL through LinkedIn.

#265I used to have a LinkedIn account, a long time ago. To register I created an email address that was unique to LinkedIn, and pretty much unguessable ... certainly not amenable to a dictionary attack. I ended up deciding that I was getting no value from the account, and I heard unpleasant things about the company, so I deleted the account. Within hours I started to get spam to that unique email address. It would be int…
You can replace LinkedIn in your post with every social media etc company and it will ring as true as your current post

#266Good write up I guess, but I'm just so tired of all the AI-isms in every damn thing. "Your European passport is one quiet subpoena away" Why does the subpoena need to be quiet? If I search my chats with ChatGPT for the word "quiet", I get a ridiculous number of results. "Quietly this, quietly that". It's almost like the new em dash. There's many others all over this blog post I won't bother calling out. "Understandin…
> Or it took an hour of back and forth with ChatGPT loaded up with those 34 pages. That's exactly what I was thinking when I read that line. And there's nothing necessarily wrong with using AI to help decipher large legal documents, just be honest about it.
Or just verify and write up its findings yourself, this is like pasting notes from a research assistant in verbatim. It comes across as pretty lazy!

#267As a European citizen I hope it becomes law to have this data processed in the EU rather than the US.
Why? I don't want companies and governments to datamine and abuse my data at all. Be it in the US or EU, it's going to be no-way either-way.

Most people don’t log in to LinkedIn to check the feed. They don’t interact with the feed at all.
It’s used for keeping contacts, having your online resume in a standard place, and maybe messaging people.
The feed is a sideshow. It enrages a lot of people because it’s full of slop, but you need to treat it like almost everyone else: Ignore it. It’s a sideshow.

LinkedIn has a wild past. I'm surprised that it seems like no one remembers. Scanning users e-mail inboxes, creating fake users, etc.

> "The most recent issue is the military question. Europe relied for decades on the "cheap" protection of the USA. Now the USA gave the middle finger to Europe and Europe acts shocked, but Europe is not so shocked when it comes to the military budget it did not spend on self defense during all the time the Americans provided protection."

Nobody is expecting anyone from Tennessee, but I know that's what the likes of Musk are making you believe.
