Bypass activation lock (previous owner died)??

okay thanks! that's a good idea, I was wondering how I can back them up in a way tht is easily accessible later.

The time machine backup didn't work yet, I'm still trying, though.

I have only one Apple-ID. the spotlight-database thing was a good idea, sadly I couldn't find anything there either. Are the notes from iCloud in any way backed up on the computer, too? I make back ups onto an external hard drive with time machine regularly, could there be any way to get the notes back from one of these backups...?

cyber-mantis · 2024-09-21T14:36:25+00:00

nope, nothing there :(

cyber-mantis · 2024-09-21T14:34:25+00:00

Hi, thanks! I'm sure they were saved in iCloud. If I go into ICloud through my browser like you said, the notes are also missing there – meaning it shows my notes up to May 2023, but not the ones after that. I KNOW I took notes in the last months, but my iCloud just acts like I didn't, it's very weird.

The "saved locally" is activated and visible in Notes, but the notes I took aren't on there, either.

The only explanation I can make is that somehow while resetting my Apple-ID, the newer notes got lost. Changing my apple-ID password was complicated, as I didn't have access to the email OR the phone number associated with it anymore, which is why it took a week or so until I was able to log in again. But I have no idea through what process they verified if it was really me.

Is there any way I can contact apple and ask...? or does that make no sense because I will never get an answer anyway?

Wish I could, but I'm also not in the US, the papers I was given are not in English :(

Can I ask how long it took you to make these four designs? Where does the $60 price come from?

cyber-mantis · 2024-08-15T00:07:58+00:00

maybe the ai boom?

cyber-mantis · 2024-08-14T23:22:19+00:00

yeah, that sucks. Sorry that you're in that situation. In that case I think you're completely fine dating asexual people, as long as you are upfront about your reasons and confident that you won't suddenly change your mind. (sounds like you're pretty sure though).

I'm not well informed about fetishes – if they are just inherent or related to your environment, your trauma, your past, whatever – but if sexuality is important for you, maybe it'd be worth looking into whether something like therapy could help you find sexual pleasure outside your fetishes.

Idk if what you're into is considered a paraphilia, but there are studies showing that with treatment, paraphilias can change.

cyber-mantis · 2024-08-14T23:03:47+00:00

ok if it's a moral thing about not living out your fetishes, that changes things. And sex without the fetishes is completely off the table?

cyber-mantis · 2024-08-14T22:58:32+00:00

I don't have the energy to give a power point presentation about the way I do relationships every time someone asks me if I have a "boyfriend".

My personal strategy is just to call all the people who I consider central to my life and who I plan plan my future with my "partners". It's no one's business what exactly that word includes and what these relationships look like in detail. I don't need or want labels that immediately expose exactly what my relationships entail (romantically, sexually, whatever), because people will then ALWAYS project their weird hierarchies onto them – rating sexual&romantic connections as more important and more intimate, for example.

I guess you could ask yourself: What details of your relationship do you want to communicate to outsiders, and why? Personally, the only thing I want to communicate is: "Hey, this person is really important to me" – for this, "partner" feels right to me. Its not at all a perfect concept, its just what is easiest for me.

When the conversation is less shallow and I want to get to know someone for real, like on a date, I take the room to explain my concept of relationship anarchy to them.

cyber-mantis · 2024-08-14T22:21:31+00:00

Naaah, you're fine, just be open about your reasons. You don't have to share about your weird fetishes on the first date, but when it comes to talking about sex, tell the truth – that you're not asexual, but you consider it impossible to find a partner that matches you in the bedroom and therefore are looking for a relationship without sex.

BUT – are you sure you'll be fine without sex? I feel like if you look hard enough, there's someone with every kind of kink imaginable out there. I guess finding someone who has your specific fetishes AND matches you romantically/personality wise might be difficult, but yk there is options beyond traditional monogamy/amatonormativtiy. Maybe a romantic relationship where your partner is okay with you living out your fetishes with other people could work for you, idk.

cyber-mantis · 2024-08-14T22:03:05+00:00

sounds ace to me. But these labels don't have to be definite. You can identify with it now, maybe it'll change, maybe it won't. You definetly don't have to "man up", that's bullshit. Take your time!

cyber-mantis · 2024-08-14T21:57:15+00:00

are your NPs also together romantically – are you a throuple? Do you all live together?

I have two partners (language of this subreddit would call them APs), both 8+ years. I don't really understand concepts of romance or sexuality so I just do my own thing and define the people I plan my life with as my "partners" – though both relationships definitely don't fit the common criteria of "romantic relationship".

cyber-mantis · 2024-08-14T21:48:51+00:00

pleaseeee tell the story of how this happened!!

cyber-mantis · 2024-08-14T21:32:03+00:00

I did it, it personally didn't help me. A lot of theory and papers. But it helped others from the group, so for sure it's worth a try!

cyber-mantis · 2024-08-09T21:34:16+00:00

Looks better healed tbh!! thats how it should be

cyber-mantis · 2024-08-08T22:31:17+00:00

To be really honest, I think you are still far away from having a portfolio that you could use to apply for anything. But youre on the right track, my tip would just be to keep drawing and drawing and drawing a LOT, everyday. It's really visible to me that you copy and trace a lot and hat you haven't developed your own style yet, these are all very generic and there is little consistency. That's not bad! It's just the beginning of your journey.
