Number 2.

5 could work if it was refined a bit more.

It's likely a scheme to entice people onto their platform because they're not as trusted as valve or gog. If they become a monopoly then we'll get to see all the various catches to that.

This is how I'd explain it. More specifically this is an example of a concept called a "dummy pronoun" in English. Phrases like "it is clear that..." Or "it is raining" are using "it" as a dummy pronoun. They're used to express a verb without expressing a subject. in other words, [verb] is happening.

I don't think this is misleading. Misleading is when you use technically true facts to draw someone towards an incorrect conclusion. Calling a plan unlimited then having a limit is more like fraudulent if you ask me.

I think that because of the heavily corporate nature of what it's used for and the fact that it requires certain corporate users to be on it, there will not be anything close to a FOSS LinkedIn for a very long time.

From an implementation standpoint LinkedIn is more or less just social media. I don't think hiring managers will switch their tactics over to a FOSS platform without a very strong push over a long period of time. while corporate nonsense may be pushing us that way, that same bs is a boon to them if anything.

You laugh in Linux now, but just wait until the year of the Linux desktop comes. Every malware developer on earth will be knocking on our door.

My guy, we live in a world where we are required to have a job to live. Most of those jobs are not essential for society to function. Some of these jobs make people happy and passionate, many others are soul grating and awful. This technology makes some of those enjoyable jobs much less lucrative while the product becomes worse. We simply lose things that bring people joy and for what? Like seriously, I cannot think of something an ai can bring to the table that a human cannot in terms of art.

Why would you want to remove the jobs people enjoy and are passionate about just for the sake of it? Why would you campaign to strictly make people less happy? If it wasn't for the horrible system we live in I'd be all for this kind of advancement, but it does not make life easier, it does not get us better things, and it almost exclusively makes life worse for millions of people with nothing to show for it.

I would simply prefer my car didn't have any screens at all. If a new car just powered off the screen while not using the backup camera it'd have my attention so fast.
