About 24 hours later, when logging in to pick up where I left off, I'm redirected to a page that tells me that my account has been locked. For the safety of my account, I needed to verify my identity to continue.
I refused to do so, for the same reasons this article highlights. So I wanted to delete my account and never return. Guess what? You can't delete your account without first verifying.
It took me a few frustrating months of trying to email their DPO (data protection officer) and filling out forms, constantly being routed to regular support with very unhelpful support staff. I actually contacted the Irish data protection agency thing (I'm not Irish, but european), and while waiting for them to process the case, I miraculously got a reply from LinkedIn that my account deletion was being processed.
Quite an infuriating experience.
Sometimes. Sometimes it does. It's all very random. My work laptop drives me nuts, when plugging back into the dock my windows return to where they were about 3/4 of the times. A quarter of the times they just all bunch up on the main monitor.
And the whole "tell me all of your credit card details except the first 4 numbers that only identifies your bank"-thing should immediately scream scam.

wss://tonsky.me/ptrs?* This application is in maintenance mode. What does it mean?
Citing Wikipedia:
In the world of software development, maintenance mode refers to a point in a computer program's life when it has reached all of its goals and is generally considered to be "complete" and bug-free. The term can also refer to the point in a software product's evolution when it is no longer competitive with other products or current with regard to the technology environment it operates within.
- The author of this application is not actively developing any new major features (only small fixes)
- New releases are published regularly depending on the contributions made by the community
- Pull requests for new features and bug fixes are accepted as long as the guidelines are followedThe whole TLD is just ugly in my opinion.
I didn't know about his english channel.
