My mom says I'm very important ... so I'll assume this was a state actor
But yeah, this is most likely. I changed my settings to lock faster with a longer pin
Yeah. Definitely setting that up now haha. They used my phone to call my contacts, so I don't have their number
Yeah, but the calls were from my phone, so I think they would have to open it
Yeah. They were accessed while the phone was lost
Graphene has and emergency dialer, but you can't call my contacts from it.
Fingerprint and pin code. They left the phone at a store nearby and I went to pick it up
Yeah. It was clearly good will. Even the banking, they probably didn't realize the app was banking (foreign bank). Signal was Molly, so they honestly were personally confused since I run KISS Launcher.
The problem is that they used my phone to call my contacts.
Someone opened my phone
I'm running Graphene on a Pixel 6. I lost it and someone opened it somehow and called two of my contacts to give it back.
I'm a bit confused how this even happened. When I got the phone back, they were going through my contacts. I checked app usage stats and they went through a banking app (not missing money), maps, signal, etc.
Is there a way to figure out how they even unlocked my phone?
Yeah. Honestly, 99% of the time my kid is having a fit, it's because he's hungry. I never yell either. Never have and probably never will (barring seriously dangerous things that need to immediately stop).
After a couple months of feeding him when he's upset, watching him calm down, apologizing if I angered him and then asking him if maybe he was so angry because he was really hungry, now he'll actually tell me mid-fit that he's really hungry. Or sleepy, scared, etc. Talking basic needs, not just hunger.
Honestly I'm really happy. The emotional maturity of a toddler that can recognize that in large part his anger is being hungry it's pretty cool.
I got ads for sexual assault therapy after I talked to my friend about my assault. I was livid. The audacity to try to make money off assault victims.
Use OnlyKey for master passwords
And then parents wonder why their children don't talk about their private lives.
Not only would you have emotionally abused me. When the state protects me, you would have sued for the right to abuse me.
Fair point. I wonder if this is a conscious decision or if they are just weird. No judgement to larping. I'm weird too, just not violent.
What a time to be alive. Nazis wearing chainmail and bringing children to protest drag events. If I didn't follow the news, I'm not sure I would be able to tell this wasn't a LARP event.
Dear god. To be fair, at least these kinds of fascists make me laugh.
I shouldn't laugh, but wtf. This is ridiculous.
I have a really long password on Bitwarden like 30+. I use OnlyKey to store this password on a hardware device.
You mentioned phones. My problem with using another 2FA app is that it's still on my phone.
Are there any neutral sources? Or at least more complete accountings? I only find Leif's account and some transphobic accounts.
The only "facts" I could find are that Leif had an AR-15 and maced 2-4 people (depending on the account). The transphobic one says children were maced.
I'm just legitimately interested in what happened.
Yeah it seems to be a series of fallacies like,
Conservatives hate gays, so conservatives are bad. Conservatives love capitalism, so capitalism is bad. The west is mostly capitalistic, so I hate the west. The west sanction Iran and Russia, so they must be good.
I think it's better to draw the line at hating controlling abusive people, rather than geopolitical boundaries.
There's also the bizarre phenomena of "leftist" people who support Russia, Iran, etc.
I was on a date once (gay) and he would shit-talk the US, Netherlands, Germany, Sweden, etc. for being capitalistic. Then in the same breath, talk about how he wanted to go to Iran and Russia.
I honestly didn't know what to say.
Helping child speak non local language
My kid [3yrs] speaks the local language with his other parent (separated. 50/50). and English with me (my native language). I speak both and my kid knows this, so I can't hide it.
He speaks the local language well, but English is a struggle. Comprehension is 100%, but he only speaks random words. He mostly speaks to me in the local language. Where we live, he will learn English in school, so I'm not worried about that.
I've tried various things to get him speaking English, but it's a struggle.
Are there any strategies that might work?
Cheap Cloud/Photo Storage: BackBlaze + Rclone + Round Sync
I didn't see this on any privacy guide, but with minimal work, you can have a cloud drive that's accessible from your phone and laptop.
Basically setup Rclone mounted => Rclone crypt => Rclone + Backblaze. Dump all your files and it works like a normal cloud drive. Android Rclone client is here https://github.com/newhinton/Round-Sync/releases
Round Sync let's you setup Cronjobs so you can backup all your photos or whatever automatically. I have a job that syncs all my photos to my drive every couple days.
I store a lot in Backblaze and it's <1USD/mo. I can provide details if there is interest.
How to prepare for retaliation?
I'm preparing to file a complaint that may result in retaliation. My company might try to lay me off to make me go away. What should I do to prepare?
I'm currently,
- collecting performance reviews
- evidence that they are not planning to lay me off at the moment
- evidence to support my complaint
Anything else I should do?
Children's books that normalize poly parents
I'm in the market for books that normalize poly parenting. I have the Red Stroller for normalizing different family types (eg. single parent, gay, interracial).
My child's other parent (separated) is very conservative and my family is too. I'm not trying to "push" poly, but prepare my kid mentally/emotionally if people say shit about me. I still have several years before I would need to come out.
Do any hardened Linux distributions exist?
For example, ones that implement these guidelines? https://madaidans-insecurities.github.io/guides/linux-hardening.html
Alternatively, packages for Fedora that would set this up automatically
Download Google Maps Routes as .ics
Where I live, Google Maps is the only mapping option.
Is there anyway to download the route as .ics to add to Proton Calendar?
Subtle Gay quotes/poems/etc.
Lesbians have Sappho to get cute stuff from. I'm looking for something similar for men, that's pro-gay or anti homophobe.
Needs to be subtle and an "if you know you know" vibe because I want to make art things in a homophobic area.
Any ideas?
Recommendations of Science/History shows for toddlers
I'm particularly interested in highlighting the scientific method or historical method. Preferably with short episodes of ~10min and not too flashy/magical.
Any recommendations?
Unassuming word for people I have sex with
I called some people I'm seeing partners, but got scolded by a friend because I guess partner means a relationship that's more "serious". My friend suggested calling them lovers.
I'm emotionally involved with all my people and I care about them. I just get an ick from labels and relationship ladders (abusive family).
I'm looking for a word that's unassuming, but clearly says "I'm not single" so I can easily be honest with monogamous people.
Any suggestions? Lover sounds a little too much like cheating.
Finding Local Polyamory Communities
What are your ways of finding the poly people in your local area? Do you have a community and meetups?
Groceries without plastic
How/where can I buy groceries without plastic? Everything at local stores (like Albert Heijn) is wrapped in plastic.
Alternative to Google Pay
I have to manage multiple bank cards, and if I lost them, I would have a major problem. I've been using Google Pay to pay via NFC.
Are there any alternatives to Google Pay? I dislike the privacy aspect of it.
