I wish you had made the comment instead, because they've deleted theirs now! Can you remember what it was?

What's going on with the kerning?

This makes sense.

Using rainfall as a(n inverse) proxy for protests is very clever. Interesting to see how the MLK violent protests actually were counterproductive and increased the republican vote share.

You're downvoting and calling me wrong based on 30 seconds of research, so I'd say you are the instigator.

your initial points were incorrect

The backups in Google Drive are not accessible to you. The source you found doesn't contradict me, because it doesn't mention being able to access that backup, only delete or disable them.

You can only transfer your account, which doesn't test the backup. Getting to the stage where you'll be able to test the backup leaves you not logged in. The backup process needs a SIM.

As far as I know, the QR code is only for logging in to the web chat (or desktop version, I guess).

It's possible there is a way, but I looked into it and couldn't make it work. Feel free to try yourself, but this conversation's turning into an unwanted argument and I'm out.

I saw your edit and replied to it - that backup is still inaccessible other than via WhatsApp, although I guess it's a comfort to see that they're there.

You'd linked "How to transfer your chat history", which isn't testing the backup. If you deleted the data in the emulator, you'd need to login again to test the backups, which puts you back needing a SIM.

You can't do anything yourself with those backups apart from delete or disable them:

I don't see how - is from within WhatsApp? I can't see anything by browsing on the phone (Android) or by connecting to a computer.

edit: I can see how to export a single chat from Settings > Chats > Chat backup but not how to get it all without a thousand clicks.

It would be good if there was some kind of database and/or bot that holds details on any monitoring service each instance uses. I see that https://lemmy-status.org/ is linked in the side bar, but also there are instances self-hosted status pages or using general purpose status trackers.

For example:

Sounds awful. I hear that if you drink enough of it, you begin to like it, but how can you get to that point?

It took me longer than I'd care to admit to get this yoke.
