Disasters & over-the-top production can make conferences memorable, but they score poorly on ROI. Instead, give attendees an environment to share stories.

My life now is a mix of joy, grief, aging, and connection. This reflection explores how embracing the present, however it comes, is its own kind of gift.

The Attack: How it works

Every time you open LinkedIn in a Chrome-based browser, LinkedIn’s JavaScript executes a silent scan of your installed browser extensions. The scan probes for thousands of specific extensions by ID, collects the results, encrypts them, and transmits them to LinkedIn’s servers. The entire process happens in the background. There is no consent dialog, no notification, no mention of it in LinkedIn’s privacy policy. This page documents exactly how the system works, with line references and code excerpts from LinkedIn’s production JavaScript bundle.
