Haven't had Tampermonkey enabled for quite some time, and only occasionally visit LinkedIn these days.
But I've turned that back on, and will see if I can spot what has changed.
I do see the error you mentioned.
If I find something I'll update the code.

v0.3 now supports the page navigation and alternate entry points. e.g starting with /jobs, and then going to /feed.
