@Gargron RE: https://mastodon.social/@Gargron/99809499382304324 I agree. #LinkedIn / #LockedOut is a total failure at its stated purpose, plus dangerously porous and leaky with the information its users submit.

Yeah, now that I logged into the company-paid Lynda\.com account, I see the announcements signalling a transition to "LinkedIn Learning" ... crazy. Why would #LinkedIn / #LockedOut throw away #Lynda.com, the one thing they have that is useful?

Was made aware that it is no longer possible to create a #Lynda.com account without also having a #LinkedIn / #LockedOut account.
I still have my Lynda account that $EMPLOYER #TechTeam funds, so that's okay for me, but that leaves the Little One high and dry.
I'm looking for a training site that includes both reading and videos. Paid is okay, if the price isn't crazy. Being tied to LockedOut or similarly useless or spammy sites is not okay.
I do have a request out to S (who works for the same agency I do), who seems to know about more training resources than anyone else I interact with regularly. However, it seems wise to ask multiple sources for this info.

@dewoo Lots of job-hunting classes push low-income / unemployed people to use #LockedOut as part of their search. (You can tell by what I called it that I don't think #LinkedIn is particularly helpful for that purpose.)
Or if the classes are sponsored by California's Employment Development Department ( #EDD ), they'll tell applicants to substitute the insecure-but-required #CalJobs site (and in San Bernardino County, the very similar #CSB-WIN site) in place of real job search providers.

@bobjonkman Keep track of where useful leads come from. You may find (as I did years ago) that #LinkedIn is better called #LockedOut, that the site is a dismal failure at its stated purpose.

@gargron I stopped the spam by closing my #LockedOut account.
-
@davehunt That's what they said, but #LinkedIn / #LockedOut is not very good for that purpose.

@taknamay Is it even working as a job board? #LockedOut was totally useless a few years ago (which was a big part of why I closed my #LinkedIn account).
