Neil BrownI am amazed that LinkedIn is not great for privacy.
Shocked, I tell you.
Jaimie's Erotica@neil Right? Who saw that coming??
Jason@Jaimieserotica @neil what happened with LinkedIn?
Oh, this particular one was about LinkedIn and Chrome, and getting a list of browser extensions.
But, more generally, LinkedIn is a cesspit, IMHO:

@neil @jason
Yeah. Unfortunately, the people I work for expect us to have LinkedIn and use it for business development (bringing in work) which it doesn't do - it just fills my inbox with emails from recruiters trying to get me interested in a job for half the pay I'm on now at the other side of the country.
'Billy Big-Balls would like to connect with you.'
Well Billy Big-Balls can kiss my squidgy white ass.
Grrrrr.
i don't like LinkedIn...

Exactly this.
I know that some people here have found it useful for bringing in work, but I certainly did not.
But, honestly, I am rubbish at marketing.
Excellent!
Given what you do, I guess I'm surprised that that kind of networking is a thing, but that probably just shows my naivety.
I am reliant on my good looks, charm, and social media / blog posts...
@neil It absolutely isn't a thing in terms of bringing in my clients, i can assure you. We're all expected to take a turn at BD events though, regardless.
I'd drum up more work if I sat in the park with a case of high-strength cider.

How strange!

Sure, but what a legal work....?! :)

Nick@[email protected] @[email protected] @[email protected] @[email protected] if I get a message on LinkedIn they don't ever seem to have actually read my profile or my recent updates, lazy marketing
Mark ⛵️🏳️🌈Thanks for the reminder… I shall add Delete LinkedIn to my weekend to-do list
Far from it… I haven’t logged in for years - any job I’m likely to find on there is unlikely to be beneficial to my well being these days.
Andres@neil @jason @Jaimieserotica Which argues for having a standard set of extensions installed in browsers rather than training users to install extensions from various app stores.
Especially now that chrome has dropped manifest v2 and the debian ublock origin package for chromium is broken, I've been very tempted to bundle ublock origin lite w/ the chromium packages so they're installed by default for everyone..
@Andres4NY @jason @Jaimieserotica
I guess that, personally, I avoid this particular issue by not using a Chrome-based browser!
I am all for uBlock Origin being installed by default, as long as I can still install other extensions.
