Why YSK:

Because this scenario:

I know what some people are thinking:

My eSIM is tied to my phone, phones these days have encryption, so all I need to do is set a lockscreen password then a thief cannot access any of my data.

WRONG

At least in Android: You can just use some button combo (just look up "[Phone model] hard reset") to get into the recovery menu and wipe all data, then reboot, and the eSIM is still there!

(Caveat to this: If you happen to have a Google account, it would force a FRP lock, and that would stop access, but most of fediverse does not like those type of online accounts, so: without a SIM PIN and without FRP locks, the eSIM is accessible to a thief)

Now the thief has your bank 2FA Codes!

TLDR: Set a pin on your SIM cards, even if it's an eSIM (but especially if you use physical SIM cards)

(Curious: Does anyone actually use SIM PINs or do I just have a lot of paranoid regarding tech and potential hacks/exploits)

Offtopic but:

OMG I can just imagine if my mom gave birth to another kid who grew up in the US and only spoke English, mom's English would be like: "Go where come back?" (去邊度返來啊?)

Lol that sound so weird to a native English speaker but that makes complete sense in my multilingual brain xD

("Where did you just come back from?" would probably be a more grammatically correct translation)

Good point

+1

But that's why we need the "good guys" to also make a "Good AI" to counter the corporate influence.

FOSS AI

I mean just throw in a bunch of stuff you already liked, and then ask it to find similar stuff... Or just ask for a genre of stuff like "Space themed show with a lot of politics" (Assuming you didn't already know that, then voila, it spits out: Expanse)

If it fucks up and give you something totally not what you were looking for, there's not much harm besides a small bit of your time. Its fictional media anyways, just don't go looking for news or medical advice lol, avoid treating it as a truth machine and its not that bad...

Okay sure you can hate the corporate that is gonna do evil shit with these tech, but the tech itself still kinda useful... (maybe we'll get some very advanced and ethically made FOSS "AI"/LLM in the future, who knows)

Who the fuck buys calandars? We get them for free at the Asian Supermarket lmfao.

My parents get like at least 5 of those every year lmfao

so many calandars that can literally ward off evil spirits (cuz red color all over it, and the big character 福 on it... and also a bunch of new year stuff on it)

G.E.M.【單行的軌道 One Way Road】

No subtitles, but quick search for English Lyrics: Here

Has the word "Train" in it. MV has train. This qualifies???

I just randomly came across this song not too long ago xD

(Not really about trains per se, but more of used as a metaphor)

It's an object, that's flying, and you haven't identified it...

So it's a UFO

What happens when it lands tho? A ULO? (Unidentified Landed Object???)

Basically the takeaway was:

"Fix your sleep schedule"

"Just go outside more"

"Stop being anxious, other people aren't constantly thinking about you"

Also I get asked like "so what do you do at home?"

um... how should I answer this? "Oh I read online forums that has politically extreme memes?" (I mean that's what half of Lemmy memes are...)

Or am I supposed to explain every youtube video I watched?

Idk how to even answer that...

My parents are paying the copays and I'm on parents insurance... honestly if I had to pay for this, I'd probably just sue them for funsies lmao... maybe if I win a medical malpractice lawsuit, the payout will cure my depression xD (okay probably not medical malpractice, but I felt like I was just wasting time so I really wanna just go sue them for fun lol)

I'm actually gonna die of "big sad" lmao

(My soul definitely died...)

LITERALLY listening to music feels more helpful than "therapy" or whatever... like 5th meet already... it feels equally weird in person and on video call... Like it just keeps getting more awkward each successive meet...

The "therapist" is white guy btw...

Dude was like "so do you feel like you have trouble acclimating to this country?"

And okay I know there's no malicious intentions... but the way that was asked felt like what right winger would ask and then follow up with "so why not go back"....

Okay so maybe its just my paranoia... but that kinda triggered me... so the rest of the session... like 15 minutes of the remaining time I just felt like I had a PTSD event gone through my head...

His last question before getting banned was: "AITAH if I don't feel anything about my best friend's dying child?" 💀

Lemmy told me that I'd get kidnapped by ICE the moment a non-white person stepped outside...

I went to a post office in a predominently white neighborhood to apply for a passport (earliest available appointment cuz cities are always filled), the guy working at the post office was a brown guy with an "Indian Accent" (which I did not expect to be working in a white neighbood btw).

I'm ethnically Chinese and did not get harassed by anyone... Lemmy would have you believe there are lynch mobs and white-hooded KKK people trying to shoot you on sight, did not happen...

Also none of my family had been harassed by ICE yet... I heard some relatives and friends of my parent's social circle cross the border just fine... my aunts be going on vacations and cruises... (my parents so jealous of their wealth and keep telling me "why can't you be like them" 😭)

That being said, maybe me being Chinese and not Hispanic/Latino made the risks lower, not trying to invalidate the fears that other more vulnerable communities might face.

THE POLICE BOMBED A RESIDENTIAL NEIGHBORHOOD!

Not me but:

Brooo omg my older brother SLEPT in the bathroom of a warehouse for TWO HOURS 🤣

Like dude hid in a stall and just... wait how the fuck can you even sleep in the position?

He never got caught lol

My mom was like: "They're gonna catch you slacking and then drag you out jn front of everyone to humiliate you"

Mom told me that back in China, they micromanage every employee and you could never get away with being "afk" for 2 hours lmfao...

But is a big place in that warehouse so its hard to notice someone gone for 2 hours...

Then they started doing bathroom signout sheets... like wtf... are we still in K-12 school??? (it's a unionized place too not sure whats going on now lol)
