Yeah; that’s passkeys in action. It’s your Android phone setting up the passkeys vault that’s doing the face capturing, not LinkedIn. LinkedIn is showing you the QR code as a means of using passkeys for verification.

You’re not using the app are you?

Avoid the app at all costs. Use the web site. I can log in there with nothing but a username and password.

The stuff you’re describing sounds like it’s setting up a passkey and tying it to Windows Hello via a face scan.

None of that is needed, but even if you use passkeys (which you should), you don’t have to do a local face scan to unlock it; you can use a password or (better) a token such as a YubiKey.

In all these cases though, LinkedIn isn’t doing a face scan; that’s just your designated way to unlock your locally stored passkeys.

What is LinkedIn requiring of you exactly?

Years ago I uploaded an extremely low-res image of my face to LinkedIn and it’s never asked me for more.

Don’t schedule and organize your life, so you’re constantly having to drop what you’re doing to respond to an event you could have planned for.

Have children.

You know, the definition of conservative that embraces conspiracy theories, rejects science, adheres to a christofascist ideology, and rejects evidence-based anything. Not anti “conservative” as any regular Canadian would define the term.

No, this time with mandatory AI-managed drone surveillance of everyone.

He was probably looking for potential sites for immigrant concentration camps.

He’s already had a fit with Canada. If his response continues to be to raise tariffs until all the affected sectors of the US economy just move to Canada to avoid them….

They’ll be cutting off funding for the program as well. So why not… move it to Canada or Germany?

Nice that watches ranging from £16 to £200 already support USB-C. My two Garmin watches both have (incompatible) unique charging/data ports.

I think you’ve gone and taken my simple statement exactly backwards.

How much we make is comparative. It’s a fiction imposed by those at the top. By the same people who want the ratio to always be that we spend more than we earn.

But no matter who we are, if we don’t spend more than we earn, we don’t end up in debt to the rich. It’s just that for an increasing proportion of the population, this is becoming impossible.

It’s never been about how much you earn; it’s always been about being willing to live beyond your means.
