  I use Linux 100 percent full time. I have to remote into windows, Azure, deal with Office 365 and Windows servers for work. I always do it from Linux because I need something to just work and is reliable. I miss NOTHING about windows. Using it ALWAYS reminds me of how bad and anti productive it is. Every day I curse something about it. I left when Windows XP came out, the enshitification was clear. I am writing this now because once again, windows is doing stupid things that are pissing me...

  You want the user to put their age somewhere? Have a simple script that asks for a number and echos it into a file called "age". Done. And they can only run the script if they want to.

  Why people keep using Linked In is beyond me. It never has been anything more than a data mining operation with people gladly giving them all their real details. Remember when Linked IN became the man in the middle of your emails? It would read them and send email to your contacts list. Microsoft has said after they purchased them that they were only in it for the data. This is no secret. I will not hire people who put linked in on their resumes, as I have to assume they are just stupid.

  Shame they didn't get access to the analytics. It would be very interesting to see the extent these data collected are used. For instance, training voice AI on customer data. Or voice printing to make a location map of users and selling that data. Or customizing ads that show up on their devices based on what's in the home, etc etc
