They chose to comply with the request and become one of the browsers Putin can control. Not sure how Mozilla gets credit for anything good here.

This is how we found anything on reddit for most of its useful life. Its search was always garbage so we relied on Google to come up with usable results.

The way I understand it is that time itself is altered by gravity and/or velocity. So atomic decay that occurs on a very specific cadence in each reference frame will not occur simultaneously in 2 or more different reference frames that are not in the same gravity, moving at the same velocity. There's even a measurable though very small difference in the passage of time between sea level and high mountains due to the difference in gravity. I'm leaving a lot out and there's a bunch of math involved, but i think that's mostly correct.

The State of Indiana tried to define it to 1 digit by law.

Thankfully, the bill was never passed.

You're close, but some Christians would argue that the god worshipped by those of Jewish faith is not the same god either and therefore not embrace that god. Those Christians would say that since Jesus revealed the trinitarian (Father, Son, and Spirit) nature of their god, to reject that nature is to worship a different god altogether. Similar to how Muslims acknowledge their shared history and feel a respect for Judaism and Christianity, those Christians accept and respect those of Jewish faith, but will still point out their incomplete understanding of the god the Christians worship.

I'm still on the fence on this. I feel like they should federate fully instead of only one way, but I'm trying to understand the threat from Threads. I know it's probably been done to death, but do you have a link or thorough explanation of why bringing more users and content to the fediverse is harmful?

Doesn't alpine refer to the part of the mountain above the forest, above the limit of tree growth? So maybe they are trying to deforest OP's computer?
