Paris, Texas

  • Settled: by 1824
  • Named: 1844
  • Inc.: 1845
  • Named for: Paris, France [emphasis mine]

It's crazy what you find out about a city's name if you look into it.

a backup is to bridge WhatsApp with Matrix and use Element on your phone

Any recommendations on where to start learning how to set up a bridge like that?

It is probably wise to assume that the next serious data breach at Google will end marriages, get politicians arrested, get famous people canceled, fuel successful scammers, and have every other privacy impact you can imagine. We know the Google data pool is massive, and we have reason to believe it is incredibly personal. I'm aware that Google has anonymozation solutions in play, and I do not believe those solutions will be effective in a breach scenario.

That would be an interesting experiment. Maybe cancel culture and public shaming will cease whene everyone realizes no one is perfect and lost people do shitty things from time to time.

I understand that effective journalism costs money to produce, proficient journalists should get and will go where they are paid, and sites need funds to maintain their operations. All that makes sense. However, I don't read one website I use Lemmy and internet searches to find news I'm interested in reading. I maybe go to the same paywalled news site twice a week at most, but rarely if ever quarce a month. It would make no sense for me to have a subscription to any paywalled news site even if I wanted to spend money. I have no option other than to use proxies, assume the article from others' comments, or just read the title.

The internet news media system sucks, but I don't see a solution.

It's not an approval rating. It's a rating of what percentage of users find the post and discussion worthy of attention.

We really need a new party. First they sold out Bernie, then Hilary lost to Trump, Biden became senile in office, then they ran the most boring campaign with Harris and lost to Trump. And after all that, their idea is to run her again?? I might just start voting for Republicans until a viable new party that is left of Republicans shows up.

Maybe it was something else, like he was working on other projects, taking time off, or traveling.

I know people that do snoop. I had a friend that once asked me if I go through people's medicine cabinets when I go to their bathroom or through all of their things when I house sit. I gave a solid no because not only do I respect people's privacy, I don't even want to know what's in there. That's too much knowledge for my limited brain space. She responded that she does every time she has a chance. People be going thru your shit, and it's the gross ones.
