In 2000, Windows put itself in the trash.
That’s more or less the time I started using Linux.
The OG dumpster diver.
I maintain a Linkedin account for business, so I look into the account once in a while to connect to certain people.
A while back, I went into the account settings to lock it down ... no notifications, alerts or announcements about anything .... a week later, I still get alerts about some dumb thing from this stupid site
i love how microsoft logo was placed where it belongs in 2000
Hey! LinkedIn is useful for me, I just got laid off. And two weeks prior to my lay off, I got reached out by one Rep asking me for meeting and we just met and they offered me a contract. So LinkedIn is pretty useful for networking.
What do people use instead of LinkedIn? I'm OOTL
Nothing. As is, LinkedIn doesn't provide anything that most people actually need, so you're safe to ditch it.
I tripled my salary thanks to LinkedIn. Wasn't even looking, just incoming reach outs. It has made a huge difference in my life. Literally life changing.
Unfortunately there really isn't a viable option for most people. Maybe there are alternatives depending on your field and your geographical location (I know they use something else a lot in Germany), but for most people you're really forced to use LinkedIn or you're potentially doing a huge disservice to your career.
Which is the main source of hatred for LinkedIn: most people would rather not be using it but they stay there for their careers. Others use it as a platform to promote their crazy ideas, again in an effort to make them more employable or reach out to new professional connections. It's a harsh world, but each of these insane posts makes that website a tiny bit more unbearable.
I don’t use it, but I’ve seen the video that a woman posted on LinkedIn of her sig heiling to prove that Elon didn’t make the “same gesture.” I’m convinced some people are just using it like regular social media, even if it makes them unemployable.
I deleted my LinkedIn almost a decade ago and am doing just fine. Really don't think it matters as much as people think.
I miss when software was vaporwave pixel art
By the way, nothing keeps you from converting any 256x256 pixel image into an .ico file and using it for the recycle bin icon.
It’s crazy how they kept switch the number and color of arrows.
Somebody is justifying their sorry existence by making changes nobody asked for.
In 2006 they knew! They knew recycling goes to trash and they didn't tell us!
After emptying it the disk space is "recycled" I guess
it became round, turned around, turned back around, and became square again.
nice touch on the 2000er Icon :)
i guffawed
