It might work that way, actually .
Just because the phone is encrypted doesn't mean there's not an exploit that makes it easier to bypass or extract the passphrase. Celebrite is unfortunately pretty good at attacking out of support phone and breaking into them.
Use a modern, supported OS on a device put out by a trusted vendor and you're probably ok. But old software/hardware makes it much easier to bypass.
Because it's worse than new outlook, and that says something.
Look into local mutual aid groups and do what you can for those around you. That will go a long way to help you and your mental health, plus having a strong network means you can help when things start to get bad.
Nice! I've job hopped a few times and tripped my salary in 5 years and am at a unicorn msp with unlimited PTO and management that cares about employees.
I wish I could find a union IT shop, but nothing around that I've seen available. Happy to hear my first statement isn't as universal as my experience suggests!
There are dozens of us (working for MSPs because in house doesn't pay as well and companies are cheap and want to outsource that cost center)!
What the fuck are you smoking friend, my entire friend group is visibly queer and the only option we had available was Kamala. I would lash out for your ignorance, but you have no way of knowing and are extremely raw.
They spit in our faces and minimize a fucking GENOCIDE and then expect us to vote for them?
And instead you spit right back and welcomed it on yourself and those like you and I love. This isn't to vote shame, it's just acknowledging objective reality.
I'm so sorry for you and those around me who are going to suffer for the choices made yesterday, but you really need to stop and think about the choices available to you in this limited and frankly fucked up world. I stand by my statement, no matter how many people refuse to accept that bad situations have awful choices with worse outcomes for wanting to die in a particular hill.
Fuck them and fuck you too.
I hope you're able to find safety and peace, and that you're willing to let yourself see past your morality to the bare facts of reality. Electoralism fucking sucks, but you can now see what happens when morality outweighs pragmatism.
Goodbye, I don't have the mental bandwidth to deal with such bitter and misplaced hatred, especially when trying to keep the sanity of those around me melting down. Stay safe.
Edit: 'go to brunch' lol, fuckers don't know shit about what I've done and are just salty I have a different opinion, so clearly I'm just a brunch ally.
I'd tell you to get fucked, but I wish the best for you, even if you're lashing out in ugly ways. Find peace friends, I'll still be in the front lines even if you spit on me.
Whatever helps you sleep at night with the choices you made friend.
I'm not here to shame anyone. You knew what was at stake when you pulled the lever, I hope you're happy with the outcome. I'm just not going to let people abdicate the responsibility they're trying to shirk for the choices they made.
But you'll be happy to note that I won't be interacting with you again, because I've got no time for cowards who shift blame for consequences of decisions they've made.
It abso-fucking-lutely is the voters fault as well as the party's. They knew the options and chose the worst possible one. Get the fuck out of here with that whitewashing bullshit. Even when you have a shit choice, you're still making the choice, and it's on you too.
They'll learn nothing from this
That goes for the voters just as much. Next time we're staring down a fascist and a shitty dem, we'll pick the fascist because the Dems has to have a spotless record or we'll piss away any progress we have in a temper tantrum.
I fucking hate my fellow Americans.
And instead of doing something even remotely helpful, they let the genocide harder guy win.
But go off, accelerationist, go ahead and tell me how this makes things better. And keep using the word fascist, maybe someday you'll learn the meaning.
I've said for years that voter apathy would be the death of this country.
I hate that I was right.
A pure bred Akita named Misha. She was a beautiful and nice dog that some neighbors down the street has. I loved that dog and pet her whenever I went by and she was out.
One day, after walking one of the little neighbor girls to school, I stopped to pet her and she got excited and in the process of licking my face, got a fang caught in the bridge of my nose, ripping it open from top to bottom. She didn't mean to, but it happened and I had to get a bunch of stitches (and discovered that they can't numb cartilage), so the poor girl had to spend the rest of her life in a small high-fenced yard. I hated it, but I completely understood the owners wanting to make sure they didn't have to put her down over a mistake.
