Coming from someone who hasn’t gotten into the weeds with this company, my understanding was that they did email. I was considering migrating over to them in order to de-google completely.
This move, specifically, has caused me to reconsider and scrap those plans. Not every tech company needs to peddle ai and crypto bullshit.
We’re a species that roughly sprouted up 300,000-400,000 years ago. We’ve only had this sort of technology and insight for less than half of a percent of that time.
By all measure, we’re still just dumb apes for the most part. One nice thing is that our brains do seem to be getting bigger over time!
I stopped using LinkedIn several years ago when it was turning into some hideous social media thing rather than just a place to keep an updated cv. I took a look at it six or so months ago and Jesus Christ, what the fuck happened?
It appears to now just be filled with people desperately trying to convince other people that they’re an expert when in reality they’re just talking to themselves and no one’s really listening.
I’m not a Microsoft fan by any means but I’ve not had any real issues with Start menu searching for well over five years.
I just use it to search for the program I want to launch and it’s done that pretty fluidly. To the point where that’s basically all the start menu is for me. If they switch it to copilot without a way to disable it then I’ll probably permanently switch over to Linux when it’s time for an OS rebuild.
LinkedIn is a cesspit of ‘professional influencers’ trying desperately to be seen as the most ‘innovative’ or ‘forward thinking’ expert in their industry. The good people, the ones who actually dig in deep and get shit done, I’ve found, don’t often have the time nor the want to constantly post.
It’s fucking tiring and so blatant.
It’s not your duty at all but it’s funny when you guys bitch about it with such fervor. It comes off as incredibly entitled.
