No, I don't care if you don't care. If you call over and point to the computer and say "box thing, nothing", then what do you want me to do?
Your job, but that's apparently to much to ask.

It's mostly the way they keep trying to shove it down everyone's throat, as relentlessly as any spammer who ever lived. That, by itself, is of offensive, it really doesn't matter how well or poorly it works.
When people are too stupid to figure out something with some effort, basic effort, I don't care. I gave up years ago, either your trying to be an incompetent idiot, or, you're special needs.
Which makes you like the IT guy supporting a store we bought a few years back. Everyone in the store wanted to light him on fire. The first visit, I could have literally punched an employee in the face and the would have liked me more than they liked him.
Which is to say, he doesn't work for us any more.
Welcome to grown up land, where "I don't care" means "I'd rather collect unemployment."
Easier, friendlier, simpler, and more inviting than KDE, or Gnome? No.
But more familiar, certainly. And that matters at lot when you have people with little or not technical aptitude trying to get their job done so they won't get fired. Most users rely on motor memory, with little to no conscious awareness of what they're doing in terms of interacting with the user interface.
If you worked in tech support, you'd know that.
Have a grown up explain to you what "supposed to" means, dumbass.
You have agreed with me that LinkedIn is shit, and you're too fucking stupid to know it.
PETA was never about animal rights. They have always been about virtue signaling and trying to control other people's lives. And nothing else.
They were shittified from day one.
So Sam Altman should be allowed to post multiple articles on LinkedIn about how AI is going to transform workplaces and society
Who says so? Certainly not me.
Since your premise is stupid, the rest isn't worth reading.
Correction: LinkedIn was originally just a job-and-resume posting site. And while the vast majority of its end users still treat it as such, the site's owners have been desperately trying to turn it into something else - more of a Facebook/Twitter hybrid - for almost a decade now.
EFF is only one of many contributors to the enshittification, including the owners. But they are certainly guilty of contributing.
EFF isn't dumping X because of any confusion over the line between politics and work. They're dumping X because nobody bothers with it any more.
Why do you supposed nobody bothers with it any more?
You'd know, being a broken, mid-90s bot yourself.
LinkedIn is supposed to be a job posting site. Political advocacy doesn't belong there.
So EFF is deliberately embracing the enshittification of the internet.
It's a pity, too. They've done some very important work in the past. But now, they're part of the problem.
This is the New York Post, the US equivalent of a British tabloid. Just because they don't have topless women on page 3 doesn't make them any more credible.
Loss of heads is part of. Economic collapse is another part of it.
You can't get rich anymore if there's no one with any money to spend.
Ultimately, way down there in the dredges, someone with not a lot of money needs to buy something that leads to money getting to you.
You can only hollow out the bottom so much.
Ah, but that's the ultimate wealth. If you own all the money, you also own all the people. As in, literal slavery.
And that is exactly the goal for some of these fuckers.
Then you'll accept it. And it is very much in their interest to determine that.
Just like it is very much in your interest to decide what that amount is. Which they have no say in whatsoever.
In other words, You're a grown up. Act like it.
to avoid a public backlash, then you are, in fact, an evil conspiracy.
Fortunately, the odds of them ever selling more than stock certificates is slim.
