  1. So, I’ve been wanting very much to attempt to get my foot in the door when it comes to getting a job. I’m currently studying and have what the Americans and British call the #summer #holiday. I'm an audio engineering student, but not a musician. I signed up to #upwork to try #freelancing, but I'm way too impatient for that it seems, since none of my applications have been accepted. This message probably sounds a bit more winey than what I intended, and for that I sincerely apologise. I'm just super frustrated at having so much time on my hands and not actively making an income. It's not that I'm not productive, but I feel this time would be great for attempting to establish a lasting career. It's been suggested to me to try #Linkedin, but the whole idea scares me. The idea of using an online platform to find a job when I've got no idea how any of this job stuff works. Does anyone have any advice? #job #blind #work #freelancing #audio

  5. I hate that Upwork decided it's cool to delete my saved Connects, so now I have to buy Connects to apply for jobs when I am currently looking for jobs to have, you know, money.

    The site is basically useless for me right now, even with my work history and ratings.

  7. Chrome-расширение для Upwork: архитектура, метрики и опыт разработки с помощью ИИ

    В свободное время я периодически захожу на Upwork, чтобы посмотреть, какие проекты там сейчас появляются и как устроен рынок изнутри. Если убрать фильтры и посмотреть общий поток вакансий, довольно быстро становится видно типичную картину: большое количество разработчиков конкурируют за очень стандартные и недорогие задачи. В таких условиях основная проблема смещается не на поиск интересных проектов, а на скорость их обработки и подачи предложений. Это особенно заметно в сегменте разработчиков, которые работают на массовом рынке: важно быстро отсекать нерелевантные предложения и экономить connects. Именно это стало отправной точкой для идеи Chrome-расширения, которое добавляет слой аналитики поверх списка проектов Upwork и позволяет быстрее принимать решение, стоит ли откликаться на вакансию.

  10. Gizmodo: China-Linked Spies Are Reportedly Using Job Platform Scams to Harvest Intel. “The report claims China’s military intelligence operation is finding people in places like LinkedIn, Indeed, and Upwork, and offering what is essentially gig work, but then pressuring applicants to do sketchier and sketchier things to keep their paychecks coming—in this case potentially committing espionage.”

  19. Hey #freelancers beware 😬

    Got targeted on Upwork with a malware repo. Job post says "Senior Rust Developer — convert Node.js to Rust."

    It sounded great as I'm back to upwork after a long while. But they insisted that i clone and run the repo, then i would have the job:

    > Just show me with a screenshot that you were able to run the project and we can start from there

    Thankfully my "bullshit radar" kicked in and I asked opencode to check the code instead

  23. Как я работал и «зарабатывал» на фрилансе (fl.ru)

    В этом году будет 9 лет, как я начал «работать» (в кавычках, потому, что назвать это работой в полном смысле слова как-то язык не поворачивается) фрилансером в специализации «программирование». В связи с этим, хочу поделиться своим опытом с вами и рассказать как все начиналось, почему я там, сколько зарабатывал, с какими проблемами сталкивался и как их решал.

  24. "Flock, the automatic license plate reader and AI-powered camera company, uses overseas workers from Upwork to train its machine learning algorithms, with training material telling workers how to review and categorize footage including images people and vehicles in the United States, according to material reviewed by 404 Media that was accidentally exposed by the company.

    The findings bring up questions about who exactly has access to footage collected by Flock surveillance cameras and where people reviewing the footage may be based. Flock has become a pervasive technology in the US, with its cameras present in thousands of communities that cops use every day to investigate things like carjackings. Local police have also performed numerous lookups for ICE in the system.

    Companies that use AI or machine learning regularly turn to overseas workers to train their algorithms, often because the labor is cheaper than hiring domestically. But the nature of Flock’s business—creating a surveillance system that constantly monitors US residents’ movements—means that footage might be more sensitive than other AI training jobs."

  28. ok folks you can hire me now. happy to discuss mastodon friend rates. upwork.com/freelancers/martijn #freelance #selfemployed #gigeconomy
    #upwork is a nasty platform with dark patterns all over. But it seems to work for people.
    What folks ask for is kinda silly. For example, paraphrasing, "I have a bunch of shapefiles, an URL and $1000 , please make me a website like the one at URL"
    There's no way to ask clarifying questions, just bid and hope for the best?

  39. Was about to register for an Upwork account but they rejected my lastname for having accented characters.

    No biggie, just removed the accents, but I wonder if others from different cultures would be able to bypass it that easily.
