TL;DR we're not responsible, go talk to LinkedIn.


That does not match the very similar reply I got as a California resident asserting my rights under California's "Right to Know" Act , regarding LinkedIn profile data and related


This is the same complete bullshit trying to remove oneself from political donation emails. "Oh, okay, we will remove you from that one." Days later it's a "different campaign." Sometimes it's the exact same people from weeks ago who have just renamed their campaign and started sending again.

We need far stronger laws for all of it, which will never happen because the rot and corruption has fully metastasized.


100% the political campaigns pinging you is endless and you cannot escape it. I have dozens of campaigns pinging me daily and I mark them all as spam as I never signed up for this nonsense. Give me a way to block them all and remove me from their database.


Sorry, I mean I want to view my soc media feeds in this dashboard. I'm familiar with those tools - they are for mass posting of content.


Worth clarifying what 1 credit gets you. "100 credits per month" is meaningless unless it's clear what that buys.


LinkedIn won't provide contact emails.


You can take their name and then reverse engineer the email format, e.g. First Last => flast@getaround.com | first.last@getaround.com


Yeah, this can work. Also, hunter.io.



It's called 'State Street Dodge'. You play a bicycle messenger in 1990s downtown Madison, Wisconsin, rushing important legal documents across the isthmus. You ride a super sweet freestyle BMX bike, and you rack up points for doing tricks, jumping beer truck ramps, riding up walls, and dodging the ever shifting throngs of college students, hayseed tourists, and harried bureaucrats. Bonus levels let you switch to skateboard, Rollerblades, and fixie. Soundtrack is awesome. Lots of Easter eggs.


It's sad that this process is so broken that it takes a skilled coder to roll their own, just to get good, organized information.

We were promised jetpacks!


In many cases, I believe it is. Consider Tim Ferriss' book 'The 4 hour work week' for example. It had lots of creative ideas, and many folks used them successfully. But by the time the book was published, the market had changed. Google Adwords used to be Hella cheap, which is part of what enabled methods described in the book. But they're not anymore, and there's too much of everything.


OP here. Great comments and ideas, all. A few notes: * Talon is pretty great * I think the market for text to speech and voice control is huge, and maybe Dragon/Nuance rules it because of their patents, but oh, does it suck. Like being stuck on Windows 95 or something. * Voice Recognition is in fact currently good enough to get real work done efficiently * Serious RSI can't be fixed with ergonomics or better devices * If there were a modern alternative to Dragon, it would solve a chunk of the problem

It's true that computer control currently requires a lot of customization, but I see no practical reason why we can't at least make simple commands fast and accurate, i.e., 'create new html document in VS Code'.


Dragon Pro, voice recognition software. Awful UI, known bugs that never get fixed, incompatible with critical applications like web browsers. Why? It's my understanding that they have no real competition. If you need to "drive" your computer with your voice, Dragon is all there is. In fact, it is pretty limited without the addition of Voice Computer, which allows you to command Windows to do certain things, like switch programs, etc.

Dragon is so important to my workflow, while so shitty a program, that I would pay three or four times its cost for a competing product that actually worked well.
