中国南方很大一块民间势力就是宗族。我以前没有什么感觉，直到我被拉进了宗族群（不是家族群）。这里的活动主要就是宗族相关的祭拜、扫墓、宗祠维护等等。我想可能是因为现在中国南方的很多人，往上数都是外地迁徙过来的，一群人到一个陌生的环境，就需要抱团，而宗族就是最好的抱团共识吧，这可能也是南方人如此重视清明节的原因吧。比如我们家，按照我爸的说法，就是明代从福建迁徙到了海南，附近的村里有不少李氏宗族的人。
2025年了，我也是第一次在我的日常生活里看到了“宗亲”这个词，过去只是在三国里一直听刘备自称自己“汉室宗亲”，对我来说真的是复古又遥远的称呼。

elegram is updating its messaging app with options for auto-deleting messages, expiring invite links, and new unlimited groups, the company shared in a blog post. Much like Signal, Telegram received a burst of new users in the confusion over WhatsApp’s privacy policy and now the company is adopting features that were already part of its competitors’ apps, features which offer more security and privacy. Auto-deleting messages were already possible in Telegram’s encrypted Secret Chats, but this new update for iOS and Android adds the option to make messages disappear in any kind of chat. Auto-delete can be enabled inside of chats, and set to delete either 24 hours or seven days after messages are sent. Auto-delete won’t remove every message though; if a message was sent before the feature was turned on, it’ll stick around. Telegram’s competitors have had similar features: WhatsApp introduced a feature in 2020 and Signal has had disappearing messages since at least 2016.
n the U.S. people generally use Bitcoin as an alternative investment, helping diversify a portfolio apart from stocks and bonds. You can also use Bitcoin to make purchases, but the number of vendors that accept the cryptocurrency is still limited. Big companies that accept Bitcoin include Overstock, AT&T and Twitch. You may also find that some small local retailers or certain websites take Bitcoin, but you’ll have to do some digging. That said, PayPal has announced that it will enable cryptocurrency as a funding source for purchases this year, financing purchases by automatically converting crypto holdings to fiat currency for users. “They have 346 million users and they’re connected to 26 million merchants,” says Spencer Montgomery, founder of Uinta Crypto Consulting. “It’s huge.”
