Partial LinkedIn access on PC, but banned from phone still.
Using LinkOff extension, one of the best things ever. Hides all junk so that LinkedIn is actually usable.
Partially hides useless posts so I can see real activity.

I use a chrome extension to remove shittified posts from LinkedIn, such as people liking things.
LinkedIn has now continually banned me from using it on any platform.

For the "did we run into each other at Vegas?" questions, this is my standard dress code for all events 😂

Home from Vegas and recovering from sickness. But left with a lot of memories. It's been years since I was properly out and I really missed seeing all my friends.

Being a ginger, and not a day walker, there was a real risk of me dying from the sun. So they gifted me a safety package with umbrella 😂

As someone who over-relies on emojis to ensure wrong tone isn't sent, that an automatic Windows update killed emoji panel is frustrating
Microsoft admitted the bug then put fix in an optional update (image rolleyes since emoji is broken)

So, go update

Surprisingly, once cooled down, most of the screen returns. Permanent damage but not unusable
