@starry @stevendbrewer @pluralistic Microsoft are notorious for resetting settings during "updates" and collecting data. No one should be using anything from them.

@stevendbrewer @starry app gives them more control and access to your data

@SleepyCatten @starry alls'em'all

@PaulWay there's many, many, many redundant things people include in their speech.

@stevendbrewer just don't use linkedin at all. Delete all your posts and content. Delete your account.

Live your life without it.

I learned today that LinkedIn removed hate speech protections for transgender individuals from their policy on hateful and derogatory content. This is unacceptable for me and I won't use LinkedIn until these terms are restored. https://opentermsarchive.org/en/memos/linkedin-removes-transgender-hate-speech-protections/

Seriously, I don't think you can understand the present moment without recognizing that huge numbers of people, especially older people, just flat out refuse to change their minds in the face of evidence or moral issues and are willing to lose elections, kill democracy, and destroy the planet so they don't have to change or deal with it in any way.
