How did Samantha Power make all of that money?

I think he's genuinely asking - he wants investment tips πŸ˜‚

That doesn't make sense. The motivation for adding it was to let people say "Bigfoot". If companies draw a generic hairy creature then it isn't communicating that.

Yeti? That’s bigfoot

D'oh yes, that's what I meant.

Your comment is like

It was obviously a mistake. Chill.

TL;DR: yes.

Yeah they're very happy to use banners to raise money they don't really need. Maybe use them to affect policy?

I guess they'd sort of be better off being apolitical but when it is an existential risk I feel like people would be ok with it.

Why is it "hairy creature" and not "bigfoot"? Is bigfoot trademarked or something?

You could argue that but I think most people would agree that "real name" means "legal name" (or some obvious shortening/variation of it).

Still, they've contradicted their own "real name" policy so it doesn't really matter.

Yeah Musk is already doing that very obviously with Grok. I guess it's the more subtle manipulation that we have to worry about.

Funny, their policy allows you to use your "preferred professional name":

The name fields of your profile name may only include the first, middle, and last names of your real or preferred professional name, plus your preferred pronouns. When registering on our site, LinkedIn does not allow members to use pseudonyms, fake names, business names, associations, groups, email addresses, or special characters that do not reflect your real or preferred professional name.

Although if you read the user agreement it contradicts that and says that you agree to

Use your real name on your profile

I don't. You can't even copy to the clipboard in an insecure context.

Except... You can! You just have to use the old deprecated and ridiculously awkward execCommand method.

If that's so insecure why do all browser's still support it?

Yeah of Linux on the Desktop!

First you'll need this guide to make copy & paste work... πŸ€¦πŸ»β€β™‚οΈ

I bought a cd key for like Β£4 from one of those dubious cd key sites. It worked flawlessly. I don't know how legal that is exactly (the internet isn't exactly clear on how those sites obtain keys), but tbh it's good enough for me and has no risk of malware. I figure Microsoft could easily block such keys if they wanted and they haven't.
