What are the career fields where you definitely don’t need a LinkedIn?
Some might say that no one needs LinkedIn at all but there are some jobs that people struggle to attain so they get on LinkedIn. I have noticed though that I've mostly seen users who are in things like tech, marketing, business, and blue collar jobs on that platform. I didn't see many people on there who work in medical professions but it could have just been a tailored experience for me. Are there career fields where you wouldn't even think about making a LinkedIn?

Is Spotify desktop unsafe to install on Ubuntu?
Basically, my entire system is FOSS but I'm tempted to install the Spotify .deb package. Would that give Spotify access to info about my system?

Yeah the washing machine app is for the public laundromat. I tried it on GrapheneOS with everything enabled but it was lacking something that is only on stock Google Android. I haven’t tried it on a MicroG phone yet.


I have friends who care about privacy but they need phones that can do Uber and washing machine apps. So I’m the only one i know with a private FOSS phone.


Beautiful and I love it Thank you


Do cookies communicate IP address in any way?
For example, if: 1. I'm on a tracking website like Linkedin 2. I log out and close the browser 3. I turn on the vpn and open the same browser 4. I create a Spotify account Is it possible that Spotify will give me targeted ads based on my home IP due to the cookies? Thanks in advance

I once got a pop up ad on an old tablet where the person in the image looked a lot like me. It was so bizarre. I thought it was some AI generated ad. This was like 3 years ago though and I didn’t have Facebook anymore.


What can happen if Meta trains its AI with your info and selfies?
I don't have Facebook or anything Meta. But what can or will happen to people who let Meta train its AI with their data, selfies, locations, and behavior patterns etc? Thanks in advance

I use it for everyday things like schoolwork and gmail and it works great so far. I still have Librewolf on the side but it seems like it’s for more privacy and that you’re not supposed to change it too much for example adding more extensions or it defeats the purpose of it.


What’s the dirt on Waterfox?
I'm aware that it used to be owned by an ad company System1. But I found this post by the founder where he said that it's now an independent project. https://www.waterfox.net/blog/a-new-chapter-for-waterfox/
