In 2006 they knew! They knew recycling goes to trash and they didn't tell us!
After emptying it the disk space is "recycled" I guess
By the way, nothing keeps you from converting any 256x256 pixel image into an .ico file and using it for the recycle bin icon.
it became round, turned around, turned back around, and became square again.
Hey! LinkedIn is useful for me, I just got laid off. And two weeks prior to my lay off, I got reached out by one Rep asking me for meeting and we just met and they offered me a contract. So LinkedIn is pretty useful for networking.
I frequently get contacted by recruiters but never productively. They either always want me to go work in Saudi Arabia (wonderful pay but I'm just not prepared to deal with their BS), or they're not prepared to offer a reasonable salary, or they haven't even remotely bothered to read my CV and just reckon that any tech job is the same as any other tech job.
Whoever decided to give it a dedicated keybinding is insane
That actually exists? Mental
Press Ctrl + Shift + Alt + Win + L in Windows for Linkedin
This is by default, and I don't think there's an easy way to turn it off.
Yeah, I've typed that so many times by accident...
These ctrl shift alt win shortcuts are not meant to be doable manually, they're for dedicated buttons on certain keyboards. A manufacturer wanted a linked in button so Microsoft made that shortcut. However, the fact that they are baked in instead of somehow detecting if a keyboard needs that button in a different way is a little strange. It's like how the new copilot button uses a key combo with an F key higher than 12
Keyboards with physical F keys higher than 12 absolutely do exist tho.
This one's ancient, but I also have a slightly less old apple wireless keyboard that goes up to F19. IIRC goes up to a theoretical maximum of F64, but don't quote me on that.
I'm aware. But the point is that these shortcuts are meant to be awkward to the point of almost impossibility to do on a normal keyboard.
Someone built a shortcut to a job hunting site into the OS itself. Someone who works on the OS and for the company that made the OS. I can't think of any greater advertisement that working for Microsoft is awful than the cry for help that is building a permanent link to a job hunting website.
I mean Microsoft owns the job hunting website lol
Wtf wild, just tried it. Thanks, I'll never use this.
LinkedIn - CTRL + SHIFT + ALT + WIN + L
Word - CTRL + SHIFT + ALT + WIN + W
Excel - CTRL + SHIFT + ALT + WIN + X
PowerPoint - CTRL + SHIFT + ALT + WIN + P
Outlook - CTRL + SHIFT + ALT + WIN + O
Microsoft Teams - CTRL + SHIFT + ALT + WIN + T
OneDrive - CTRL + SHIFT + ALT + WIN + D
OneNote - CTRL + SHIFT + ALT + WIN + N
Yammer - CTRL + SHIFT + ALT + WIN + Ywtf is a yammer?
I think it's like an internal social media for your Office 365 group. We have Yammer at work but I have never opened it.
...i thought that was teams?..
Teams is like a Discord replacement. Yammer is probably like a Facebook/Twitter replacement.
Who the hell uses social media while at work that's limited to your work I wonder.
I have heard people at my work actually using it. I was thinking of starting posting about Linux there, just for the troll, as the company seems to like/trust Microsoft a bit too much.
You better have all five fingers these days...
On the space cadet keyboard, it was apparently considered valid form to complete complex key chords with your nose.
Feels like Emacs
Holy shit, this is not even a joke
In 2000, Windows put itself in the trash.
That’s more or less the time I started using Linux.
The OG dumpster diver.
I maintain a Linkedin account for business, so I look into the account once in a while to connect to certain people.
A while back, I went into the account settings to lock it down ... no notifications, alerts or announcements about anything .... a week later, I still get alerts about some dumb thing from this stupid site
What do people use instead of LinkedIn? I'm OOTL
Nothing. As is, LinkedIn doesn't provide anything that most people actually need, so you're safe to ditch it.
I tripled my salary thanks to LinkedIn. Wasn't even looking, just incoming reach outs. It has made a huge difference in my life. Literally life changing.
Only reason I'm there. Barely missed a fat job a recruiter got me on. Oh well. She's still looking out for me.
Plus, they send loads of job offers. Never know when I'll win the lottery.
At least in IT, it's the best place to look for jobs. I've changed twice in the last ten years, both LinkedIn recruiters (one external, one internal).
Plus most of my acquaintances are colleagues and ex-colleagues, so it's a good way to catch up from time to time (hey, you switched to XYZ, how's life going, wanna grab a coffee).
If you follow the right groups you get interesting news, memes and discussions.
Final benefit, the amount of politics is MUCH lower than Facebook, Twitter or Lemmy.
Unless you signed some exclusivity deal (rare) reach out to other recruiters and apply to job offers directly, good luck!
Unfortunately there really isn't a viable option for most people. Maybe there are alternatives depending on your field and your geographical location (I know they use something else a lot in Germany), but for most people you're really forced to use LinkedIn or you're potentially doing a huge disservice to your career.
Which is the main source of hatred for LinkedIn: most people would rather not be using it but they stay there for their careers. Others use it as a platform to promote their crazy ideas, again in an effort to make them more employable or reach out to new professional connections. It's a harsh world, but each of these insane posts makes that website a tiny bit more unbearable.
I don’t use it, but I’ve seen the video that a woman posted on LinkedIn of her sig heiling to prove that Elon didn’t make the “same gesture.” I’m convinced some people are just using it like regular social media, even if it makes them unemployable.
If you’re relying on LinkedIn for career growth you’re doing it wrong.
I deleted my LinkedIn almost a decade ago and am doing just fine. Really don't think it matters as much as people think.
