☆ Opinion | Fulfilling Our Mom’s Dream to See the Solar Eclipse
  + stars: | 2024-04-05 | by ( Kathleen Lenihan | Maureen Lenihan Rust | ) www.nytimes.com   time to read: +1 min
Fiercely independent and more than a little skeptical of hype, fads and feverish mass events, our mother is not what you’d call a joiner. But she also knows the coming eclipse is neither trend nor fad. Part of the drive to take our mother to Waco is the hard truth of time. Partial eclipses come and go, but the next awe-inspiring and captivating total eclipse will not be seen again in the contiguous United States until 2044. A cruise can bill itself as a “once-in-a-lifetime adventure” and then offer many dates on the calendar for the same adventure.

☆ Grindr's ex-privacy chief accused top executives of shrugging off system bugs that retained 'billions' of user photos
  + stars: | 2023-06-16 | by ( Azmi Haroun | ) www.businessinsider.com   time to read: +3 min
Former Chief of Privacy Ron DeJesus said top executives ignored multiple warnings about user data. De Jesus claimed in the lawsuit that user data was stored after accounts were deleted, and shared with third parties. In 2021, Norway fined Grindr $7 million for illegally sharing user data, which De Jesus referenced in his lawsuit. De Jesus claimed that after he shared his privacy concerns with executives, he was iced out of an executive retreat. "Mr. De Jesus was terminated for being ineffective and for poorly managing Grindr's privacy practices, which were his primary responsibility," Lenihan said.

☆ Louisiana man sentenced to 45 years in prison for Grindr kidnapping scheme

A Louisiana man was sentenced to 45 years in federal prison for kidnapping and attempting to murder a gay teen as part of a broader hate crime scheme targeting men on an LGBTQ dating app, the Justice Department announced Wednesday. His decadeslong sentencing rested on a variety of factors, the Justice Department revealed, including that Seneca intentionally targeted the teen and other gay men because of their sexual orientation. Within days of his assault on White, Seneca allegedly attempted to kidnap a different man and allegedly kidnapped another, the Justice Department said in a previous statement. The Louisiana case is one of several where people have used Grindr, a dating app founded in 2009 that is predominantly used by gay men, to target LGBTQ people around the world. In 2018, it was widely reported that Egyptian authorities and residents were using Grindr and other dating apps to entrap and persecute gay men.
☆ Over a decade after founding Grindr, Joel Simkhai wants a do-over
  + stars: | 2022-11-16 | by ( Zachary Schermele | ) www.nbcnews.com   time to read: +7 min
When Joel Simkhai left Grindr five years ago, he had a lot of time to think. Simkhai, a gay man and tech entrepreneur, helped launch the groundbreaking gay hookup and dating app in 2009. As recently as this year, the average daily time spent on Grindr per user was about an hour, according to The Guardian. The results of an online survey of nearly 100 Grindr users published in 2017 in the peer-reviewed journal Behavioral Medicine showed obese users reported significantly greater feelings of body dissatisfaction. But racist, discriminatory and exclusionist tropes — or euphemisms for them — continue to pervade a number of LGBTQ hookup and dating apps.
