Guy doesn't seem to understand what a "work persona" is. I wouldn't want to date my own work persona let alone anyone else's.

[–] HubertManne@piefed.social 21 points 3 months ago (1 children)

I don't even have a linkedin work persona. its an online resume as well as a way to stay in touch with coworkers mainly by getting or giving recommendations. I don't get why anyone posts there.

Once you're above a certain level of wealth, you don't need a worksona any more. Getting fired is just a temporary setback. The terrifying truth is that some people are actually like this; they think they are their careers. ML isn't just the thing he does, it's a part of who he is.

I mean I have a dual major science degree and worked in the field. It is the type of field where it is sorta who you are. Unfortunately like a lot of things its so enshitified no one should really do that anymore.

No Fake Profiles

No Scams

Has this guy actually used LinkedIn lol?

[–] simple@lemm.ee 11 points 3 months ago

Also "No subscriptions" as if LinkedIn isn't infamous for locking features behind their subscription

I have a coworker who had an arranged marriage, and apparently they work pretty well!

[–] Kalothar@lemmy.ca 3 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Based on a sample size of one person you know from work and what they told you?

[–] sugar_in_your_tea@sh.itjust.works 0 points 3 months ago (1 children)

More like 3, and stats they've claimed but that I haven't verified.

[–] Kalothar@lemmy.ca 0 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Sorry didn’t mean to sound like such a dick just woke up when I asked that!

That’s cool though, I haven’t seen much about that, I’ll check into it some time

There is probably something to be said about people that would go through with it and their mindset to growing with each other?

[–] sugar_in_your_tea@sh.itjust.works 1 points 3 months ago

Yup. What they basically said is that their parents do a good job of finding a good match, and both parties try to make it work. That last part is the biggest component of a successful marriage IMO, most problems can be resolved if both parties are interested in resolving them and willing to sacrifice for the other.

I still very much don't like the system, but it's not as bad as I thought it was.

On the one hand, the idea of using linkedin as a dating website is irredeemably terrible. On the other hand, if singles who think otherwise actually follow through with it, that saves a bit of time and frustration for a lot of other people.

Looking at the demographics of people obsessed with linkedin, I feel like it's gonna be a sausage party

[–] xigoi@lemmy.sdf.org 3 points 3 months ago

So just like any other dating app.

[–] sugar_in_your_tea@sh.itjust.works 1 points 3 months ago

Should work out depending on how you swing.

[–] ICastFist@programming.dev 14 points 3 months ago

"I use Tinder to find jobs and LinkedIn for dating. There's much less competition!"

[–] bishbosh@lemm.ee 10 points 3 months ago

No need to explain "What is ML/AI" every time.

Oh you absolute goon. No one wants to hear your half baked techno jargon explanation of your 'prompt engineering job' they are trying to be nice and get to know you...

Never thought about it, but how does LinkedIn finance its service?

Edit: looked it up
Membership fees, marketing services and recruiting solutions

Now that I think about it, there are some premium account things you can pay for
As I don't use it much, I've never really looked into it

[–] drtaco@lemmy.dbzer0.com 12 points 3 months ago

Premium subscription that allows messaging people out of your network and provides a bunch of analytics about profile/article views. I know sales, marketing, and recruiting people that love it.

[–] melsaskca@lemmy.ca 5 points 3 months ago (1 children)

If you're looking for a business partner, then that would be a good site I guess.
