  • So what are you trying to contradict? The statute of limitations expiring doesn't make him any less of an abuser. Neither does the outcome of one or more of the multiple cases. It applies only to that specific case and its scope. Manson also settled with Bianco and pulled his defamation lawsuit against Gore and Wood, paying Wood's legal fees. She has since reiterated her allegations. Your own comment mentioning an open case suggests the matters are nowhere near resolved even legally.

    More importantly, let's hear from the man himself:

    I did have an experience where I was struggling to deal with being alone and being forsaken and being betrayed by putting your trust in one person, and making the mistake of that being the wrong person. And that’s a mistake that everyone can relate to. I made the mistake of trying to, desperately, grasp on and save that and own it. And every time I called her that day — I called 158 times — I took a razorblade and I cut myself on my face or on my hands.

    I look back and it was a really stupid thing to do. This was intentional, this was a scarification, and this was like a tattoo. I wanted to show her the pain she put me through. It was like, “I want you to physically see what you’ve done.” It sounds made up but it’s completely true and I don’t give a shit if people believe it or not. I’ve got the scars to prove it. I didn’t want people to ask me every time I did an interview, “Oh, is this record about your relationship with your ex-girlfriend?” But that damage is part of it, and the song “I Want to Kill You Like They Do in The Movies” is about my fantasies. I have fantasies every day about smashing her skull in with a sledgehammer.

    Now ask any qualified psychologist if this is abusive.

  • B12 deficiency is hardly a vegan issue, considering vegans constitute less than 10% from country to country, while the percentage of people deficient in B12 is way above that, up to 40% in the West and more in the developing world. If the study is to be believed though, keeping it below 400 pg/mL in the blood ensures there's no increased risk of mortality.

  • Its absorption drops significantly past a certain point, hence the really high dosages needed to get anything at all. The only reliable measure if this study is to be believed is how much is actually in your blood.

  • Precisely. Even when he didn't appear to be full-on MAGA yet around 2022 or whenever he first tweeted about Ukraine, it was a pro-Russia take.

  • Are you saying someone could keep their account even if their ATProto instance goes down? On Mastodon, you'd still get to keep the migrated followers, right? The instance maintainer would just have to announce closure in advance.

  • I don't think Trump has any real interest in Ukraine as a country. He likes Putin and he likes business opportunities. There's nothing more to it.

  • Still a win for everyone on Android, as Google would have to keep the platform open until 2032.

  • Epic used Gemini to power its Darth Vader, so it might be related to AI indeed. To add to that, Epic has introduced an AI chat for Unreal Engine developers, acquired the AI asset tagging tool Loci, and enabled AI for its support system to handle requests before a human operator steps in. I also believe they use AI as a screening tool for its new text chat feature (and maybe its new forums), but I have no proof for this part.

  • From Kyiv to Donetsk, the lowest temperature this year is roughly 10 degrees Celsius lower than this month last year, so yes.

  • It would be weird if it were the only time he's called out the Google and Apple monopolies and their control over apps, but it's been a running theme for him (and his legal battles). Two examples from a quick lookup:

    • His tweet where he calls out Apple for removing privacy apps at the request of Russia, and for allegedly threatening to remove Twitter in 2024.
    • His tweet on Apple removing the Russian social media app VK following the US sanctions related to the Russian invasion of Ukraine in 2022.

    Personally, I see no issue with platforms removing content they deem to be problematic, and I'm sure Sweeney agrees, given that the Epic store prohibits pornography for example. However, as he's said repeatedly, Apple in particular is unique in that it removing an app means there's practically no way for an iPhone user to access it, since there's no sideloading.

    If it were an app dedicated to CSAM, I don't think anyone would take issue, but his argument is that removing the app would deplatform all of its 500M users, most of whom are probably not pedos. I'm critical of people being on X, but it's also undeniable that despite the far-right leaning and CEO, there are still leftists and people belonging to minority groups who are on it, for whatever reason. Are they pedophile and Nazi enablers too? I'm inclined to say yes, but I don't know how many people would agree.

    Edit: Format and details.

  • He's wrong because he's not Gabe Newell. On a more serious note, the 404 report cited by the PCGamer article basically supports your point, though with the caveats that X and Musk are bad for other reasons and that those generated images make it into people's feeds:

    The major, uhh, downside here is that people are using Grok for the same reasons they use AI elsewhere, which is to nonconsensually sexualize women and celebrities on the internet [...]

    The situation on other platforms is better because there are fewer Nazis and because the AI-generated content cannot be created natively in the same feed, but essentially every platform has been polluted with this sort of thing, and the problem is getting worse, not better.

  • It may have lost its grip on the Middle East, but it's had major gains in the West, where the far-right parties and candidates backed or financed by Russia have had significant wins. In Africa, the Wagner-backed president of the CAR was "re-elected" just last month.

  • He was on the list, but I couldn't find him in any of the photos or videos from the event. The CEOs of Nvidia and OpenAI were indeed present and shaking hands though.
