You are addicted to overstressing yourself.

There's no man on this earth who loves overworking, if you were a man you'd understand, GloriousGbola can feel you in. No one loves work that much unless he's responsible for people

Mehn I wish could be irresponsible for a short while, having not work, working like a donkey for money is tough

Exelica:
Hello Qtquru, you mentioned remoteoliver’s guide on optimizing Upwork on a thread a while back, were you able to pay using any Nigerian card? My verve card didn’t work.

Verve is for local transaction.chai Verve I worked on that project . Use Mastercard or Visa

Most men like to show they are financially stable all the time but Why do they find it difficult to ask their women for money when they are broke?💞😍💘💔💓❤️💋

My babe is generous, if you're stingy to her nothing for you. but I ask only when i need urgent cash.

There's no TIN and VAT set here and this account can still withdraw

chieni:
lol please can you respond to the question.

I was being serious, I know I tried random data before for a account I manage, because I don't know of any API that Upwork uses to validate the TIN number. Hold on let me confirm for you with mine.

chieni:
Well I know you have to input it before you can be allowed to withdraw. If it's left blank one can't withdraw.

Do you try random data ?

chieni:
Hello good day. please is there an implication on the forum if one uses NIN in place of TIN?

Is the TIN compulsory ?

IconicR:
He's enjoying the attention. But don't blame the lady, she has always been like that and it's part of what attracted him to her. He wants to turn a party girl to a church girl without her consent 😂😂😂

True sha but I'll pick a church girl over a party girl. I can't deal with a girl with no ambition.

Nigaraw:
Met this girl online last year January, after exchanging numbers we started vibing and the whole talking stage thing. Started dating a month later . Things were so good thought I have found myself a lovely soul. She was good but much more concerned about aesthetics, snap for the glam , do some weird things for Twitter likes. Her role models are always relationship people . Gave her some advice to go back to school because she was a drop out she didn’t heed.

Okay gave her money to start some business she spent on uselsss things . She just want all that lovely dovy Instagram lifestyle and relationship glamour . Couldn’t deal broke up with her . Ever since then it’s been one hell of a ride . Everyday subbing my ass on Twitter . I don’t block people never blocked any of my exes .

She’d upload guys pictures and all.I really don’t care now I noticed her freinds writing some shit and even have the guts to tag me . Like is it even up to that Like why can’t some people just deal with break up . You teaming up to sub your ex is the new cool now.?


I have been blocking some of her friends but they still keep opening burner accounts and tagging me . I run a business with my account anybody with a good suggestion??

Tell the bi.tch to fvck off and stop paying them attention, unless you like it yourself.

Threads has no community, DM and features to help communities grow, Tiktok/Youtube and X is still the preferred platforms, if you're looking to connect with people with common interests.

What's wrong with Pastor Jerry Eze ? My babe introduced me to him and we pray all the time, when I'm not sinning. I like the man, he seems dedicated and prayerful.

MountainView:
I'm surprised people haven't noticed that Apple uses Software to kill hardware.

I've been seeing comments on YouTube and on forums where people complain about this I thought it was a joke.

My first experience was after Updating my 13 Pro max
; Within few days the screen went blind, I checked on YouTube saw alot of people saying the same thing.

I spent 340K to get a replacement screen.

Second time was my 2020 MacBook pro,

Just refused to Power on, went to repair it, I was told it was a motherboard issue.

A new motherboard cost about 300K I just had to dump it at home.


Note: this is also after updating the MacBook pro.


I also noticed something on the comments, people who experience these problems are usually not EU or North America


It's Africa/South Americans that usually experience these sorts of problems.

I'm being careful with Apple, this is bad Practice.

'

I doubt it, someone would have raised it up and sued apple.

Nairaland the home of ridiculous made up stories. This is joblessness at its peak. Instead of you to use your time and find something doing, you are here doing free work by creating content for seun.

Here you are are keke rider

Here you had to go live with your Aunty because your parents are traveling to Ghana and you school. Common sense suggest that you are a minor probably in primary or secondary school. Because why does a 39years old guy still schooling has to go live with somebody because his parents are traveling?

While here you own a business and a federal government job, house and 2 cars.

All this between November to now July.

Dey play.

Smells like VictorUSA

Paystack:
If I get a good monitor I will use it as desktop instead.

Just pained i got it almost 520k and didn't enjoy it

Sorry mehn are you in Lagos, let me call my guy about the screen or if you can get from Aliexpress

Paystack:
I don't understand boss

I should buy a monitor or I should use a television?

Can u recommend a cost friendly monitor like 27 inch or so

I'm looking at cost effective options, if you have an HDMI TV, you can use that if not, monitor might be cheaper but ensure to buy those HDMI connector, it's like 8k - 15k for you guys , and check it with your laptop first before buying.

Paystack:
I use a MacBook Pro 15 inch 2017 Model


I was using it Yesterday and all of a sudden the screen went totally blank and it has refused to display anything

I took it to Technician and the guy some servicing but it didn't work.


He said I'll have to change the screen which will cost me about 250k


250k? I certainly will never spend that on a laptop screen which may still bring same problem in future.


What do you advise I do now?


How will I utilize the laptop?

The laptop still works well just the screen.

I'm thinking of using a monitor with HDMI but have never gone through this route before


How would you use a laptop like this?

qtguru, truthcoder

250k for screen, nah either monitor and use the TV, depends on the type of coding you do.

Olawrites:
Best advice you gave here.

"The day the job dries up on these online platforms, or they close your account" life won't remain the same again, and the obvious truth is that it will happen soon or later.

Look at how chatgpt and other AI tools are taking away creative jobs right now .

Lol

No job security for Freelancers.

Agreed it's why I am relocating, freelancing is not going to be as lucrative in the future especially for we Nigerians, remote jobs are closing up.

Emmaneze:
Could I message you directly?
Sent you a request

I've done PHP freelance for years and heading back to it, what do you want to know ?

Yes freelance market

You'll write yours against client's request?

These libraries have large weekly downloads... this particular one has almost 3million weekly downloads and I wonder who uses them 🤔
These libraries have backers and sponsors and I wonder who they are for.

It'll always boil down to choices and approaches.

No one cap fits all here. Some people get big head.

that replit how do you get payouts ?

I always use libraries, well for me it's few lines to abstract FileReader and ProgressEvent, but if a library can do it with less dependencies than I could use that, but my issue is npm's excess dependency tree.

niel63:
There's a difference in tone... however, the point is, shebi these things na choice? I choose what I choose and that's my business.

Sometimes I prefer writing my own css classes than using tailwindcss or sass or any other library.

When i built the component, the library was specifically asked for.
So sometimes I dey wonder why people just dey like do oversabi.

Client say him want something and I suppose do otherwise abi? He won't even accept the bounty cos you didn't follow specific rules.

So it's a balance, for a non technical client he won't be bothered about the approach, some clients might have restrictions towards using some libraries because of license. so they'd rather roll out their version.

For me I will write mine, because most often times, the libraries are over-kill

You don't sleep at night too? You work all day and night?

I sleep in the day, different timezone for work

niel63:
Keep reinventing the wheel bro. Nothing do you.

But they are called library for a reason. Make we try no dey too do things wey go make our forefathers dey look us with one eye.

You wan troll abi? Oya enter bus make we trabaye!

I won't call it trolling. Npm dependencies add layers of bloat for something that can be done easily with FileReader
