Considering the incredible psychological impact of the Holocaust on survivors, and how that would affect one's perception of risk in day to day life, I have to imagine that these people probably passed that perspective on to their kids

How strict is their definition of Christian? Do you have to affirm the Athanasian Creed and indivisibility and coeternity of the Trinity as part of the signup process?

I was under the impression that you just had to have an IP with an A record that matched the reverse DNS, even if it's not for the A record that's your email domain?

That is because largely these laws won't be weaponized to stick it to them. There was a youtube video of a guy going around to Muslim bakers trying to get them to bake him a gay wedding cake, which they of course refused. And the US me

The Mormon Church used to not allow black people to become priests, they probably changed that under threat of losing their tax-exempt status.

I prefer to use "people" but I have also found that I prefer to spend my time around people that wouldn't have cared if I used "guys".

/r/conspiracy was harassing a daycare in Utah. I don't like to use that term lightly but yes, actual harassing. As in, the subreddit was obsessed with it because it had some records online that made them think it was secretly

I assume they can see what uptake there is for features using analytics, but what comes to mind are native retweets and subtweets. Those are relatively new. They have also changed how blocking works multiple times based on feedback.

For the most part I try to ignore Twitter and its problems don't bother me, but one area that I can't avoid, that is a direct problem because of its centralized proprietary nature, is that now some people now provide a twitter han

I think it's because they iterated really fast on new features, and presumably stayed with what was popular. Original Twitter isn't even all that close to what Twitter is today. gnusocial is playing catchup featurewise, moves much

How easy is it for somebody to get your PGP key off a yubikey if they stole it? In particular since physical devices can be fuzzed, etc, it might be worse than an encrypted keychain on device for some people?

It's nice to see an article for a change about young people in tech that's not about how entitled/nerdy/unfuckable they are.
