elleok, quick follow-up screenshots to show that:
Those behind browsergate.eu and fairlinked.eu are in fact the same people behind "Teamfluence", the scraper/automation/etc addon company listed as bringing the lawsuit against LinkedIn
Teamfluence was also the company mentioned and (poorly) redacted in the legal docs browsergate.eu offers up with the quotes from a LinkedIn engineer
So basically, Teamfluence was scraping data from LinkedIn, got blocked for it, and now are trying to get this trumped-up campaign going to [checks notes] try to be able to automate scraping vacuuming up peoples' LinkedIn data again. I'm no fan of Microsoft or LinkedIn, but the purpose of their detection methods here seem to be preventing addons like Teamfluence which harm both them and LinkedIn's users
(note: I was drafting this last night, but was looking for more info still - credit to William O'Connell on bsky for discovering and posting the screenshot of the court document that is now the 4th screenshot in this post)
julietteEvery few months, while I cycle to work, I notice I am putting more effort, getting a little bit more breathless, and tell myself I need to do more exercise to get in better shape.
And then @Pepijn glances at my bike, picks up the pump and inflates my tires. Inevitably, the next time I ride, I feel like I’m flying.
I wish you all to have someone in your life who inflates your tires, literally or figuratively.
Big shout out to Tusky, ActivityPub, et al for being well-made and letting me browse cat pictures and other vital entertainment while _in the middle of $/#@ rural nowhere on the train home.
The cows are impressed.
