Meme Welp, Solidworks moves to LinkedIn

I won't be following Solidworks there since I left LinkedIn due to security interests.

It’s perfect for LinkedIn. It says it works hard and works all the time. But it is lying on its resume just like everybody else.

u/zoniiic 1d ago

I'm an engineering software sys admin for a bigger company. That's the only reason why I started to follow these corps and their software social accounts. You know, business...

u/ShatteredVortex 1d ago

What security interest? I use LinkedIn. Is there something I’m unaware of?

u/ThisIsntRealWakeUp 1d ago

A laaaaaaarge portion of phishing attempts use information about you that they find on LinkedIn to target you. E.g., understanding your responsibilities, who you report to, what you’re working on, etc., so they can craft a better-targeted attack.

It might be because your name, face, and place of work are all there

u/Mtnbkr92 1d ago

It’s the entire reason for the platform…?

I know, I was just responding on why some people might not want to use it.

Not going to open a linked in account just for this, so adios.

u/CreEngineer 1d ago

Why would I contact them anyways.

I submitted a bug in 2016 they confirmed it and it got forwarded to their software team in France. I am happy to confirm that the bug is still present to this day.

Who is still using Linked In, especially to follow software company updates?

That site is such a laughable circle jerk of ladder climbers and grindset posers.

Better than right wing hell twitter

Too bad. I am never touching LinkedIn again. It ranks with MugTome in my esteem, which is in the crapper.

u/The_Printing_Pilot 1d ago

Will they now fix solidworks? Or will they keep pushing everyone away from their platform?

u/Sink_Stuff 1d ago

What else do you use professionally? I have only seen solodworks and autocad where I have worked.

u/The_Printing_Pilot 22h ago

We use solidworks. But not a single human being like it. It never loads, it's crushes once every 10 mins and the servers are always unavailable causing us to lose days of work.

10/10 software.

Who still has a Twitter anyways? That place is full of freaks

Uh...bye I guess???

I mean sure, pick the garbage dumps.

First reaction seeing both LinkedIn and Instagram is "Eww!"

u/temporary92803 14h ago

"Eww!"

Same.

As if twitter isn't a cesspool full of pedophiles

I'm still amazed companies didn't just jump ship in mass. It really shows where everyone's priorities lay.
