Technology

When I want to type a special non-English character like Ø, on my Android phone I simply long press on "o" on the keyboard and it brings up every variation of the letter o you could think of.

On Windows, the best you get is "please memorise this giant list of four number codes". If I'm going to have to google the code I'm probably just going to copy the letter and paste it into whatever I'm writing.

Why not add them to the damn emoji menu (Windows key + .)

Got a notification from LinkedIn saying "You're one of the few experts who have been invited to collaborate on ..." I got curious and opened up the link.

Apparently, now instead of professional writers being paid to pen down their, usually, cohesive & authentic views, LinkedIn is trying out the idea of generating content using an LLM and then asking for free editorial services from users in exchange for "badges" 🤯 🤦‍♂️

This is cheap IMO. Even for LinkedIn.

What's happened to the "content team" at LinkedIn!?
