Anybody else receive a scam attempt email saying your Norton subscription has been renewed?

Applied to a company and it gave me an automated assessment. Upon opening the link, it asks me to turn on the camera so it can periodically take snapshots of me.

Micromanaging already?

Fuck you.

LinkedIn suggesting me to connect to, based in my profile, as they say, a person who is an Astrology Professional.

I am a developer, and I only add developers.

LinkedIn, go home, you're drunk.

I think I'm being ghosted.

Xiaomi is demanding to sign in to an account to enable "Install via USB". It has to be enabled, otherwise it prevents the app under development to be installed, either via USB, or wireless.

Thank you, temp-mail for existing, and fuck off, Xiaomi. I should have bought another Samsung instead, but I didn't know any better.

Did an online test for a position as a front-end developer using React.

I started it and proceeded to initiate the first challenge: write a component that is a button that, when clicked, toggles its text between ON and OFF. Makes sense, easy enough.

Second challenge, write a fucking shit of a function that takes the second highest number and reorders it in some shitty way. Something like 12452 becomes 12542 or some shit like this.

I stopped right there. How's that relevant for the position, motherfucker? And that's considered "medium", being the second challenge of 4. What's next? Replicate Margaret Hamilton's whole codebase in JavaScript?

Provide tests that are relevant for the position I am applying to, dumbfuck.

I am (re)learning .NET, but on Ubuntu using Rider. I will tell you what, it feels SO weird, given .NET has been only possible on Windows for many years. It feels out of place to me.

If I'm applying to your job position it is because I have the skill set you ask, but you still say they differ from the requested in the job ad.

Fuck you.

"Why do you feel you are the best candidate for this job?"

No. Why do you feel you are the best company for me, if I am the one receiving a fraction of what the client will pay you once I finish the project?

"Please, submit a video or voice introduction of yourself".

No. Schedule an interview with me and get to know me live, motherfucker.

I won't use PNPM anymore.

Out of the blue I couldn't install anything anymore, because it accused of some I/O error. I couldn't delete node_modules because there is a .pnpm folder inside that "is not empty", and even with su it doesn't fucking delete. There is a god-damn .Trash-1000 in my folder that cannot be deleted because of the same issue.

Entering the .pnpm folder and attempting to delete the empty node_modules inside, the progress only shows "deleting node_modules", and "1/1", and it nothing happens.

Screw this PNPM.

I added more engine coolant in my car while using my phone's flashlight to easily see the level of the liquid. I then proceeded to place my phone on the bumper, then I moved away to wash my hands.

Once done, I entered the vehicle and drove. After a few minutes I realized I didn't take my phone back, and I could never find it again.

I was diagnosed with ADHD, and my mom said it's because of that. I often place things without being mindful, then I forget about it, remembering when I need or, in this case, when it's too late.

But I won't have this as an excuse. I will figure out a way to minimize these events. A rule of some sort, to force myself to always place X on a specific place, for example.

Hints?

FuckedIn unrestricted me, and said it happened because my location was not reflecting the current location I am at. How the fuck they know it? Is it the VPN? I use it for 2 years. Fuckers.

I changed it, but one hour later it was restricted again. Are you fucking kidding me? I won't stop. I will spam these maggots and I will have my account back for good. The other issue is that shitty Persona they use to verify the IDs. It doesn't seem to be sending to them. That's what happens when trash uses trash.

Piece of shit of platform, piece of shit of detection system (or maybe not?)

The saga to recover my FuckedIn account continues. Now, they're not replying regarding my latest upload of ID, since the previous one they claimed it was unreadable.

I am going to spam those motherfuckers until the end of time until I have my account back. Can I not sue them for incompetence?

This is Ubuntu's 20th year, yet it still doesn't hibernate properly.

23.10 often reboots instead of suspending. At least it completes the process, because previous versions would hang midway.

Maybe Ubuntu 44.10 will have it fixed.

Fucking LinkedIn.

I created a new account with my main e-mail, and suddenly it was restricted. I sent an ID verification, I received an e-mail saying it was now back, but then it was fucking restricted again, and I CANNOT HAVE IT BACK BECAUSE THE TO GET HELP FROM THEM IS A HASSLE. Sometimes it asks me for a phone number, but then, and error appears saying the session is invalid.

I created a support ticket, their response takes hours with a new link to verify again, but when I send again a new ID, for some reason, my verifications do not reach them, and they send the same link again. FUCK'S SAKE.

Finally, I subscribed to Premium just to talk to someone, but they can't help with this matter. At least left a note to Jenny.

Why the hell is a newly created account being restricted? Fix your systems.

About a year ago I said I'd be migrating from development into something else. During one year, I studied it, practiced, applied to many job postings, did tests, projects, collab, etc.

So after the latest job application, and being rejected of course, I suddenly thought again about my dev life, and the fire within me ignited like my computer ignited when running Android Studio.

Now, just removing the dust and rust from my fingers, and catching up by following some free project tutorials on YT.

I'm back
