> LinkedIn notifications within the Windows action center Err... I'm not sure I like the sound of this. Isn't this just for application updates / system stuff?

Don't worry, I'd trust LinkedIn with access to anything. They have a pretty stellar history of being on the up-and-up.

  I suspect you're being downvoted because your sarcasm isn't obvious enough. Either that or you're living in a parallel universe where LinkedIn is a completely different company.

    Making a post without explicitly labeling it as sarcasm is always a risky maneuver but I prefer the nuance.

      The best outcome is when sarcasm is not detected, yet the comment still gets upvoted.

        But who knows?

        Sarcasm usually rightly deserves to be upvoted. It's one of the rare forms of critical thinking left in this trend-governed society.

      One must always keep in mind that HN can be disturbingly anti humour for the sake of "rational" discourse.

No - I get notifications for different apps there (ex: Twitter.)
- SmellyGeekBoy 10y ago
  Ah, I see. I have to admit I haven't knowingly enabled notifications from anything else so all I get are Adobe updates / GeForce drivers / new hardware notifications. I dread to think how disruptive it would be to get a desktop notification every time I get a piece of recruiter spam on LinkedIn!

Isn't the point of that action center to be integrated with apps that have notifications to push?
- SmellyGeekBoy 10y ago
  I thought so. But surely then the announcement would be "LinkedIn Windows Store app coming soon". I read it as some lower level integration with the Live account I use to sign in to Windows. Perhaps I'm being overly paranoid.

    Action Center supports standard web notifications too.

Now you can notification on birthdays, job changes and everything, and you can't even turn it off. Just like their mobile app.
