   Wow, I went to LinkedIn for the first time in ages in response to a message and they want you to "verify" yourself now, by uploading your passport or other government ID? Get lost mate, another good reason to never use that website

     @psychicparrot42 Bleh, I only keep it because I forget people's names otherwise. Which I could honestly probably live with, other than the awks when I can't remember the name of someone I briefly worked with 15 years ago

     It turned into a place for the ultra biz bro try-hards a while back, everyone trying to be a thought leader and smash those KPIs or some shite

     @sinbad @psychicparrot42 I got back on it recently because I went to a few local game dev meet-ups and I've been asked to connect there by several people. I guess it's still "the" place for work connections.

     But the vibe is "weird" (to say it kindly). Everything feels very disingenuous.

     @sinbad I barely trust Microsoft with my gaming PC. Giving them a copy of my ID?!
