Gameseal won't let you use gmail suffixes (+suffix) to see if they sold your email
 in  r/assholedesign  Mar 06 '25

there are some services that get around that too. I've been trying out port87 recently, which uses dashes, but also straight up refuses any email sent directly to the primary inbox.

GM sued for selling driver data to insurers
 in  r/privacy  Mar 06 '25

if you want a frame of reference for how much that data is worth, my insurance company once offered me $400 for 6 months of my Google Maps location history. Some kind of study they were doing.

YouTube now has commercials DURING the videos!

More of my favorite creators have been moving to Nebula. The UI kinda sucks, but not being bombarded by ads and a predatory algorithm more than makes up for it.

Reddit plans to lock some content behind a paywall this year, CEO says
 in  r/technology  Feb 14 '25

IMO, Lemmy has the best chance as a replacement.

Yeah, the instances can be confusing, and you have a lot of the cringy early-reddit drama and behavior. Some of the culture can be toxic but I challenge you to find a platform that DOESN'T have that issue.

But mechanically, it's nigh immune to corporate bullshit that comes with a centralized platform, and in the right communities, you find a lot of the enjoyable conversations and discussion that used to be plentiful on reddit.

Plus, already has like a dozen third-party apps.

Eligibility check: Ancestors married before emigrating
 in  r/GermanCitizenship  Feb 06 '25

Ah, I see. I will need to verify his naturalization date, but I was only able to find an A-2 Record for my GGM, which would suggest he was already a citizen by 1940.

So even though my GGM had not naturalized, and technically did not "marry a foreigner" - since my GGF (likely) naturalized, she would fall under "had a child with a foreigner"?

It looks like that would fall under outcome 5, which says I may be able to secure citizenship under Section 14 of the nationality act? I have a few of the "close ties" qualifiers - I have been to Germany, have many friends there, and speak enough German that I could likely pass a B1 if I pursued it.

Eligibility check: Ancestors married before emigrating

2 Upvotes

Thank you for doing this.

I have gone through the guide, but there isn't an explicit path for one ancestor naturalizing while married.

My ancestors were married before they emigrated, and my great-grandfather naturalized before my great-grandmother - but my grandmother was born BEFORE my great-grandmother naturalized.

Great-Grandfather

  • Born in 1899
  • Married in Germany in 1925
  • Emigrated to USA in 1928
  • Naturalized sometime in the 1930s?

Great-Grandmother

  • Born in 1899
  • Married in Germany in 1925
  • Emigrated to USA in 1928
  • Requested naturalization in 1940 (according to A-record)

Grandmother

  • Born in 1939 in USA (in wedlock)
  • Married grandfather (not german) in 1959
  • Divorced sometime after mother was born

Mother

  • Born 1968 in wedlock
  • Married my father (not german) in 1994

Me

  • Born after 1995 and before 2000 in wedlock

I think it is outcome 3, but the different naturalization dates make me unsure.
