It's safe to assume anything redacted is Trump. They have the burden of proof to say it's not.

I was on a non profit board where the founder realized he wasn't the right person for the job after 20 years of growing the org. It finally got to a point that he felt like the growth was beyond what he ever imagined or wanted.

He was, on every metric, very successful. He grew the org from nothing, got millions of dollars in donations, amassed a huge base, and no one would have thought different if he just kept going.

I remember sitting down with him one-on-one and asked him why. He thought about it for a minute and said, "It's time for someone to make it even better."

Looking back, I think I see the exhaustion. To constantly innovate, to push people forward, to push the org, the mission....it was all one person at a time. He reached a point in both age and in life that it just wasn't something he could keep doing.

He loved the mission so much he knew it deserved better.

If that isn't leadership, I don't know what is.

Trump 1. When I saw very close friends who voted for Trump, not because of who he was but the fact that abortion would be over turned.

That's when I knew that these people would vote in Satan himself if he promised to get rid of abortions.

It took almost 2-3 to get from "I'm not voting for Trump" to progressive.

I sat in the middle for a while as a conservative leaning independent but still caring about social issues. But once I understood that conservatism was really about oppression, I hard lefted to be a progressive.

The point is that it's not disabled now. They should degoogle themselves.

Or do a PWA so that it can run as a browser app

So....when should we see those apps on FDroid?

The only way to give her a chance is if she commits, right now, to vote to impeach Trump. If she does this, then I'll say she's serious.

I say this as a once very strong and vocal conservative who has now turned full 180-almost anarchist progressive.

What I can't stand is when platforms don't take no for an answer.

Every fucking visit to Dropbox: "Upgrade to Standard!"

Every check out on Amazon: "Upgrade to Prime!

Every time I open Walmart: "Upgrade to Walmart+"

I fucking can't stand it.

At least they are admitting that they have lost.

I want to agree with you but I doubt it. LinkedIn's value is generated by corporations, not it's users. So long as companies use it to vet people, it will be used.

It's the same reason why we still have applications. Recruiters hate them because they have to sort through hundreds of applications. Candidates hate them because they spend precious time updating their resume for the job post only to get buried under a bunch of AI slop.

The process exists because corporations want it.

sigh yes

If you're in any sort of white collar job, not having a LinkedIn profile that is decent will make employers (specifically HR people) think you are a bot.

It's terrible. But you will have a much harder time getting a job without it.

Wait.......WHAT?!

I don't want to fact check this. Is this true? Is this what all the memes were about yesterday?!

I'd trust a Lemmy source more than a reddit source.

But that's just me.
