The most annoying thing about corporate surveillance to me is the arrogance of the prediction mechanisms.

These algorithms build a model of me based on my clicks from three years ago and then try to trap me in that loop forever. They show me music they think I'll like, and news they think I'll engage with, and videos they think will enrage me enough to keep me hooked to their platforms. They are actively trying to flatten my personality into something easy to monetize.

As most people I've seen say out loud, "Privacy as a concept is way beyond hiding secrets. A part of it also means preserving your capacity to change. To be surprised. To be inconsistent."

If I could tell every human one thing, it would be to actively refuse to be a predictable data point. Mess up their metrics. In whatever way you are capable of.

Actually if you want to be all #linkedin about it, identifying weak souls who won't affect anything is *super* valuable in business too.

@Em0nM4stodon left #bluesky about a year ago. Now only on #fediverse -- #mastodon and #diaspora, as well as #linkedin for commercial survival.

If there were a way to prospect for #infosec consulting clients on the fediverse only, I'd quit linkedin at machine speed. almost.

They will never have enough data about you.
They will always ask for more.
That's how they feed the billionaires.

Leave and delete corporate social media.
Before they eat you whole.

👋 Sur #LinkedIn, j'ai vu une énième publication où l'auteur parle de #WinGet comme une révolution pour la gestion des paquets sous #Microsoft #Windows.

Non, mais, sérieusement ?! Windows, dans bien des domaines, a des décennies de retard sur GNU/Linux (et concernant ce point, environ 30 ans, rien que ça).

C'est vraiment comique de voir ces gens s'extasier devant une nouveauté qui n'en est en réalité pas du tout une.

Grand bien leur fasse !

Notons aussi que Winget n'a pas de GUI.

I have been thinking what it was #linkedin in the pre-crappy pre-influencer era, and it was jobs postings + professional networking + celebrating professional achievements.

If we look to build a "linkedin" in the fediverse, job postings could pretty much be (and it was for many years) forums, so #lemmy or #nodebb could achieve that. #lemmy could even foster professional discussions.

Celebrating could be #badgefed, and professional networking could happen inside #mastodon.

If you create a site with the 3, interconnected, reducing friction (e.g. single sign-on between the three) it could have some traction.

One can only dream.

Die Lage für Wegner spitzt sich zu. 2026 fängt in Berlin ziemlich schlecht an.

Gleichzeitig tobt aus der rechten Ecke eine widerliche Kampagne mit dem einzigen Ziel, die Demokratie zu beschädigen. Auf #youtube #linkedin #x #twitter
