LinkedIn is building a gig marketplace, taking on UpWork and Fiverr - https://aimgroup.com/2021/02/22/linkedin-building-gig-marketplace/
Tying one's professional reputation, hiring chances, and therefore income, tighly inside a single platform. A dangerous idea: making a platform the sole gatekeeper of peoples' income and career chances.
@mike Am I weird for enjoying updating?
@flockingbird Oh wow, that's great! Thanks, I'll have to take you up on that :)
@hund Exactly! Plus more :p
As of now it's all client side running within the browser. I'm slapping on the ability to sync later.
Anyone else here got VR?
Would love to do some kind of virtual meetup.

RT @NASAJPL@twitter.com
JUST, WOW.😍
Grab the popcorn because the @NASAPersevere@twitter.com rover has sent us a one-of-kind video of her Mars landing. For the first time in history, we can see multiple angles of what it looks like to touch down on the Red Planet. #CountdownToMars

Question for those more experienced with Mastodon... Fosstodon is for people who love free software and I'm enjoying the community. However, as I stated in my intro I do have a bunch of other hobbies. Is there a way to view the "local" time lines of other instances to find other people in those instances without having to resort to using the federated timeline? There's only so much anime pron and conspiracy nut jobs I can take...

In an effort to promote the use of open and FOSS platforms rather than proprietary and locked down ones, as postmarketOS we created our own community on Lemmy!
Please join us in making it an awesome FOSS and federated alternative to our subreddit!

If you want an encrypted #DNS resolver, based on Europe, that supports both DoH and DoT, I'm having a good experience with @libreops (https://libredns.gr/).
Here you have their recent budget report for last year (2020):

"I will slaughter you" - some emails penetrate even my thick open source maintainer skin. Like this threat.

@h4rdstyl3z Had no idea they bored 50km through the Alps, I reckon that'll be the one I choose. Cheers :)
Yeah, you're right. NZ does have a couple nice scenic trains. It can definitely recommend this one:
