You’re interviewing to be a personal assistant - conduct your self as you would represent your client/boss - be polite, take notes, remeber details and faces the best you can (have more than 1 pen incase 1 runs dry).

If you’re hired your conduct will directly reflect on your boss, and the interviewers will be considering that above anything else. If you walk in lazing about, or laydown on the lobby couch or lean against walls or whatever that will look bad. Be professional with everyone you interact with - even the guy that cut you off in the parking lot, you have no idea who that is, that could be the nepobaby manager everyone hates. People fail interviews making rude comments to secretaries, janitors, or security staff. If you’re rude to them, they will tell the interviewers.

When they ask about weaknesses, don’t start talking about your personality. Talk about something like a relevant skill you’re not confident in and how your looking foward to getting more expirence with it. This shows you’re honest about your skills and interested in learning new things.

Saying personality driven things like “i have a short temper” or “im a gossip” is obviously bad. People try to spin stuff too, everyone has heard shit like “I’m attentive to detail and sometimes get too focused”. All that says is you can’t manage your time effectively.

If they do insist on a personality weakness - make it something that be “grown into”, like leadership skills or something they can feasibly help you with.

If I’m reading the clipboard part right, and seems people on the forms are thinking the same;

If an app can only access clipboard content that it set, does that mean we can’t copy/paste between apps? That would be ridiculous. Does the act of pressing “paste” over right the block, and GrapheneOS will only block the background access apps have?

I like IOS approach, where it asks you before pasting “this app is trying to copy from another app”, and you can allow or decline it. But it is really annoying sometimes.

Just use the pool, all drains go to the same place.

Also if that’s the only toilet, he’s going to finally get there and find an audience member there who finished their businesses long ago, but is sitting there doom scrolling tiktocs until their feet go numb.

“So just because we shop at the same store, we know each other?”

I like lawnchair a lot. Not having news/AI crap constantly loading is defenitaly a plus for battarty.

There’s some knockoff/divided forks, here’s the version I use.

Additionally, NetGaurd is great for locking down what has internet/cell access. It uses VPN, so if you already use that it won’t work, for only 1 VPN can run at a time.

If I wrote a book about Bean Man the super hero, than I should maintain all rights to the concept of Bean Man and the related “characters/world” until I die or put it under public domain. The rights can be inherited by 1 generation, but they have 10 years to do something relevant with it or it falls into public domain. Also if the IP sits unused for 20 years, clear derivatives can be made so long as it’s clear the original creator was not involved.

However, the actual product, the books I write fall into a different category. After 30 years or, 1 year unavailable to legally purchase by an average person*, the books become free to share under a creative common license that does not allow for derivatives, or profit. In other words, the book it self becomes free for everyone but someone can’t take the IP and make a new “Bean Man” story (unless the copyright is no longer in effect).

* if I try some shit like sell it cash only on the 31st of February or charge a absurd price, all of my past and future works will be put into public domain as a “fuck you for being piece of shit”.

Governments are crowd sourcing their problems instead of hiring someone qualified to solve them.

I thinks there’s a bit much doom and gloom right now.

If new pixels don’t support GrapheneOS that will suck.

If Motorola comes thru with GrapheneOS support next year, we will be back to where we are now. 1 manufacture, but at least it won’t be google anymore. Yes, its only on their flagship, but hardware trickles down within a few years. I’d be surprised if the whole 2030 line up isn’t supported (assuming they don’t drop the ball).

In my option, if anyone has an older phone, they should consider getting a new or used 9 or 10 to get through the next few years, while we wait and see what happens.

“You were doing that an hour ago.”

Sorry, no. Just a human.

They might allow the browser’s built in manager. Good chance if they’re a Microsoft shill, edge’s built in would be better than nothing…although it’s Microsoft so a text file might be better.

IT probably bans them because they can’t access the data. Keepass files are some kind of container, you can store any file with in it. Great when you want save a txt doc with 2fa recovery codes or something and also not a bad way to send a payload that’s impossible to scan. “I’m going on vacation, please use this keypass file for vendor XYZ, open the file within for the vendors contact info”.

Not sure a user’s brain is secure either. A lot of hacks are through phishing schemes.

In the long term, yes it would be better if it shipped.

However, if someone went to a phone store with a stock graphene on display and anything else next to it, which one do you think they’ll choose?

Until Graphene’s stock experience (i.e stock apps and launcher) mature enough to not look out of place next to google and apple, the average Joe will pick the more polished phone. I hope improving that is a task Motorola will be able to help with, while graphene keeps doing their thing.

Additionally with the app/play store dualopoly, Motorola would be shooting them selves in the foot if they didn’t ship with the play store.

Getting an option beside a pixel for Grapheneos is pretty cool and a big step forward. I hope new demand will be high enough to show the decision makers that its an endeavor worth continuing.

A lot of programs have an export button for settings a such. Useful for your launcher and whatever else has a lot of settings.

I don’t like doing a full restore, new phones are a good time to clear old system files and crap.

For syncing stuff, I don’t use most of the default phone folders for docs, music, etc. I make my own for everything, so if some update or app decides to do some shenanigans to those folder none of that is backed up. Only folders I don’t make are downloads and photos, and dcim, which I still backed up.

If you don’t want to deal with a syncthing or something automatic, you could try “Back In Time” on Linux.

"Ensign Kim, we hope you are readjusting well to life on Earth. We have been reviewing the reports and are finding you quite the accomplished Ensign, you were instrumental to the survival of voyager and her crew, even taking on captain duties at times. You were basically 6th or 7th in command right after the doctor. We feel continuing to call you Ensign Kim would be a disservice to all you have achieved in the past 7 years aboard Voyager.

Congratulations Super-Ensign Kim. You are dismissed."

THE ONE PIECE! THE ONE PIECE IS REAL!"

It’s early enough in the semester that it may just not be fully processed yet. When I was in school I was able to dump what ever “loan refund” they gave me right into the principle.

I hate they call it a refund, it just means you took out a bigger loan than what the bill actually cost. Calling it a refund makes people think they got free money.
