I disregard #Linux Foundation "individual contributor account" because it tries to enforce LinkedIn in the registration. It's either link now or "setup later...". What is this? What if I just plain say: fuck off #LinkedIn, how's that? It tries to imply eventual joining to a forum owned by a large commercial entity.

Please, fix this ASAP. It is ridiculous.

It should be renamed as "Microsoft individual contributor account" if this had any honesty. All services that it tries link into are from Microsoft. Get real.

@jarkko besides the LinkedIn issue, surely you don't want to give LF your personal money, no? Why would you do that?

@vbabka Well... No! I actually did not know what it is. It was advertised in some page so I thought I will join :D So you are probably right. Looks like something I'm never going to login again.

@vbabka I actually still don't know what it even is. Went there and it literally had nothing.

This discussions makes me feel like that I stepped into scam/phishing site by accident, and that is what literally happened ;-) Glad I did not put my credit card information anywhere. Next week probably I'm like a diamond sponsor together with AMD, Microsoft and others.

@jarkko I thought you meant like becoming an individual LF member which I assume means contributing fees regularly.

@vbabka fuck no xD i contribute, review and test code for free already. I mean who individual stupid enough to pour dimes to an org creamed with cash by literally all of multi-billion corps of the valley...

There was just link "Linux Foundation ID" (in a legit LF site, had to now check the certificates), which brought me to https://openprofile.dev/ where I created an account and then it started to push me MS services.
