Thinking about deleting my LinkedIn account.

I got my first four tech jobs via connections and recruiters there, so undeniably useful in my career, but it's such a toxic site full of performative takes and AI boosterism that I don't really want anything to do with it anymore.

"The industry has reacted to emerging unease about AI in society by reaching for the cover of ethics, and there's been a nearly universal adoption of ethical principles by major AI companies to accompany the development of technical tools to fix the problem. Bias is presented as an invasive outsider that can be hunted down and cleansed while companies purify themselves by paying lip service to ethical philosophy."

Really enjoying @danmcquillan@kolektiva.social's Resisting AI so far.

I watched Project Hail Mary last night and really enjoyed it. ★★★★☆

I currently use VSCodium, but the recent VSCode Copilot nonsense has me considering switching to Sublime Text.

Ghost in the Machine is excellent.

"The fight cannot be among laborers who are all threatened by this technology. The fight must be between the workers who wish to work, create, live, and prosper, and the elites who only seek to enrich themselves by means of this technology."

@dajb@social.coop Yes, exactly. And agreed, the music was just too much throughout the entire thing.

Looking forward to this year's #virtualCCFest!

I got some new #bluetooth earphones with a relatively high quality #mic, but it sounds really disappointing on #Linux, even with #PipeWire handling codecs. Initial investigation seems to suggest it's just *how things are* on Linux.

Has anyone had any success getting high quality bluetooth mic audio on Linux?

@ravelin@mindly.social Just need to be UK-based.
