  • You don’t.

    Seprate your work life and your personal life.

    There’s nothing wrong with advocating for FOSS alternatives; but you don’t get to decide what you can or cannot use on work devices, that’s up to your employer. You should not be entering personal info/performing personal tasks on work devices.

    If you’re unwilling to perform work with the tools (software) your employer provides/requires, find a new job. Refusing to do the work or tampering with the equipment provided is a great way to get fired.

    For school; personal laptop. Or again strictly school tasks on their devices.










  • Or at the very least; turn your phone entirely off (shutdown) whenever you expect or encounter police contact.

    Biometrics only work when the device is already running. Mobile devices are in their most locked down/secure state when ‘at rest’, ie shutdown.

    In android; there is also a ‘lockdown’ mode you can quickly activate from the power off screen, that disables Biometrics until next unlock with a pin/pattern, but doesn’t fully shutdown so you can still quickly access things like the camera. This has to be explicitly enabled in settings first and will not offer much protection from various lockscreen bypass software available to law enforcement.





  • I’m currently working as a tool technician maintaining and repairing a fleet of rental tools. (it’s incredible how little people take care of things that aren’t theirs…)

    Electrical is what I’m really interested in, but financial strain has made it difficult to get into classes beyond high-school for it and there’s only so much you can do self-taught with no certifications.



  • I was given a months community service because of some vandalism as a teenager.

    The community service (in a very small town), was to help the highschool shop teacher supervise students in the wood/metal shops.

    Shop class was by far my favorite part of highschool. I had taken something like 13 different wood/metal/automotive shop classes between the different towns I moved too. I would have volunteered for that on my free time if they’d let me. It definitely didn’t feel like a punishment.

    Hmm, I thought it may be something to do with that.

    I had also noticed images being rendered in the wrong size lately. They’ll look normal at first, but if you scroll past them, then scroll back up; some images are ~150% size and falling off the edge of screen.

    At least it’s known and being addressed.
