by moving to a different employer, i guess.

did you mean by betraying coworkers? maybe some people like that idea. I’m strongly against it.

either way, i would avoid such a company.

there will definitely be inappropriate and offensive ads forthcoming.

In US’ red states, there may even be “criminal” manhunts and persecutory lawsuits.

i just hope that otome games are far enough beyond Gilead’s sphere of attention.

afaik “lockdown mode” shortcut is a basic feature in android. it quickly disables fingerprint/face/etc unlock, temporarily.

it should still be present in some form in most versions of android since several years ago.

if you can’t find it in your power button long press menu, check the Lineage documentation.

btw powering off the device should also force password/pin unlock on the next boot.

seems like companies who know what proton is, would have no problem with it. some of their people would use it themselves.

companies who never heard of it wouldn’t have any bad impression about it.

if they never heard about it but are wary/scared of everything they never heard of, might not be safe to work there. that’s the kind of place that would test their workers’ loyalty randomly, and not reciprocate any loyalty they receive.

it was difficult writing it too…

thank for the confirmation. I’ll go with something else

I’m USAian. (just identifying for this thread, i don’t call myself that)

would “gringo” include Black USAians? Asian USAians? Spain-born USAians?

from my understanding of “gringo”, that doesn’t seem to include non-white USAians. Most English monolingual USAians think that means “white guy”.

a lot of gen z USAians might not know the word Yankee as a term for USAians. if speaking to them, you might have to explain it’s not the baseball team.

maybe it’s better to stick with “USAians”. it’s never been used but it’s easy to figure out. other possible choices are:

• Statesians
• USAliens
• USAmericans
• Staters
• Stater Tots (re: tater tots)
• USticles

better yet, call each of us by the state we’re each from. that’s the safest bet. you know all our 50 state names right? and their official demonyms? 🤣 kidding

i don’t understand any of the words you just said.

(I’m American btw)

researchers actually succeeded in creating that phone system upgrade. the resulting communication system is the internet and world wide web.

hooray! you got what you wished for!
