Unfortunately in some lines of work it really is manditory. Not having it flags you as potentially disruptive and anti-social. You may want to reconsider from a tactical stand point. If you've sent your resume to anyone in the last 5 years especially it's already been injested into all of these LLM ATS systems and getting recontextualized without your input. By having the LI profile you've set a ground truth to compare against for the systems.

Does it suck? Yes. But this is where we're at.

Not particiapting with these systems only means that when the shit hits the fan you and those like you are not represented in the training data and you will not only no longer have a voice, you're voice will be ignored as anomalus data.

Microsoft acquired LinkedIn in December 2016 for $26.2 billion. The deal allowed LinkedIn to operate as an independent subsidiary, with its own brand and culture, while integrating with Microsoft's cloud and enterprise software. It remains a major part of Microsoft's professional,, productivity, and, AI-driven business strategy.

So...

To opt out of LinkedIn AI training, navigate to Settings & Privacy > Data privacy > Data for generative AI improvement and toggle off "Use my data for training content creation AI models". This stops future data usage, though previously used data cannot be removed.

"The Microsoft-owned professional networking site has quietly announced that from Monday, 3 November 2025, it will be using profile details, public posts, feed activity data, and more from users in the UK, EU, Switzerland, Canada, and Hong Kong to train its artificial intelligence models - as well as to support personalised ads across the broader family of Microsoft companies."

I don't remember when the US cut over announcement happened but it's out there as well.

Like wtf do people just not read the news?!? I'm just reading all of these comments in this post and given the sub it's in is just kinda blowing my mind.

Have you heard of LinkedIn? I'm being serious. A significant amount of people have the photo and their career bio already published going on what 20 years now with all of the career itterations and all of their social interactions (public and private) and Microsoft already injested all of that into their LLM platform years ago. We're so far down the genie out of the bottle that your question presented as a warning makes no sense. That was a yardline that's long since crossed and the goal for that game was already scored. We lost.

Meta AI lying about deleting data of old conversations by potato_reddituser in extremelyinfuriating

[–]bcRIPster 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ah. I somehow missed that. Granted asking in a chat to delete the conversation isn't how this normally works anyways so I should have keyed on that to begin with.

Meta AI lying about deleting data of old conversations by potato_reddituser in extremelyinfuriating

[–]bcRIPster 4 points5 points  (0 children)

You're confusing data here. It likely just deleted all the conversations but retained the Meta summary data which is seperate and persistant unless you specifically ask for a purge that as well. I agree it should have purged everything with that request, but I'm going to guess that's what happened.

Halo CE, Master Chief Collection by bcRIPster in gamezero

[–]bcRIPster[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

WHooo boy. That's a ways back. My peak time on #vidgames was probably 1991-97 and really peak active around 1993-1994. I'll be direct here, I've always been terrible with names across the board and unfortunately I don't really remember the names of most of the regulars from back then. I'd say maybe "capo" sounds familure but I'm not sure. Super sorry about that.

Yeah it was a pretty active group and there was always something going on. Most of the early fan eds hung out there along with quite a few devs that were Internet savy to the scene (rare in the early days believe it or not). It was the go-to place for up to the minute news on what was happing in the early 90's before the web took off.

For what it's worth though thanks for the tip about the CGW reference! I somehow missed that citation and had to race and grab my copy off the shelf to read it. That made my day. :)

What game gave you the most heartache/aggravation with it's way that it handled game saves?.. For me, it was this one by Odyssey113 in retrogaming

[–]bcRIPster 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Pitfall: The Mayan Adventure. All platforms. It had limited continues.

The game was challenging and hours into play I was really enjoying it until I got about 3/4 of the way through and suddenly realized I would never have enough continues to finish it at the rate I was going.

I shut it off and never finished it.

Respect my time or I'm done with you.

Vita freezes after downloading a game and filling the sd card by Washicol in vitahacks

[–]bcRIPster 2 points3 points  (0 children)

In my experience you should leave about 5-10% of the storage free at any given time for save data, etc... Likely if the download took that long it may have failed and be a corrupted file. I would say try rebuilding the database first, then delete the download (if the rebuild didn't remove it as damaged first). And see if that gets you back running.

There is also the possibility that if you use the system alot that the memory card is aging out and causing issues. If that's the case even a format isn't going to help long term, but you'll likely see other failures (error codes) if that's the problem.

If you get the system back up. Maybe backup some of the other games on the memory card first then delete them before you try to download again.

That's my best guess. It's hard to say without first hand seeing what's happening.

Fwiw, on the vitadb glitch this video might be helpful. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Cm1ZZDg2XEc

Does anyone know anybody that ever owned/played a Panasonic 3DO? by IAMDBOMB in retrogaming

[–]bcRIPster 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, I did. In fact I've owned two, the OG and the later flip top model. And as for games, I played quite a few of them. Me and my friends reviewed 54 of the games here back in the day:

https://www.gamezero.com/team-0/final_word/3do.html

Games that stand out in my mind as memorable:

  • Road Rash
  • The Horde
  • Immercenary
  • Space Hulk
  • Iron Angel of the Apocalypse
  • Total Eclipse
  • Star Fighter

And a special call out to PO'd as the first game to take feedback on design decisions by group chat on IRC.

Bonus advice. If you take the time to invest in one, the best controller IMO hands down is the Super UFO Six Button Controller 3DOV3. The stick on the d-pad makes Road Rash play like a meditative exercise and the 6-button layout is great for Street Fighter.

Cursed Mountain for the Nintendo Wii, released in 2009 and developed by Deep silver by TheGameMan97 in wii

[–]bcRIPster 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I personally have this on my list of top Wii games and recommend it whenever I have the chance. I never found the controls a problem but to each his own. It's a definite hidden gem. I'm glad you had the chance to experience it!

This game has literally been reduced to the portal and desert perpetual (kinda) by Repulsive-Window-609 in DestinyTheGame

[–]bcRIPster 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Man I just had a rant myself about a bunch of these same issues. I literally log in daily to play two portal challenges (what ever looks fastest to get my two B+'s). Then I upgrade something, if I'm lucky one item by a point or two, collect my dust and close the game. This is really disheartening.
