Yeah that's often the problem. They hire people who care and are good at the stuff so they can point to them and say "we really do care as a company" and then they aren't given the leverage they need inside the company to implement real changes

In context it means all user content submitted in the games is effectively fully owned by Blizzard, a copyright assignment clause (this differs from the typical "we get a perpetual license to what you submit to us")
Not everything is legal to prohibit
And they're anti politics, except they don't count that as politics
Bluesky has limited federation active already, planning to enable full federation soon (they want mod tooling to be more robust before they do)
Pretty nice place. The user configurable moderation system with 3rd party labeler services and more is quite cool and it's working even better than hoped (but we'll need to see how it scales)
And you can ask your fans to spend gems to remove obnoxious ads from your profile
Lightcones?
My favorite thing here is pointing out that Heisenberg uncertainty should influence gravitational waves and definitely influences light cones
And if a post goes viral you have to pay to not have its visibility restricted
You could use an AI generated fake face and fake history too if your name is unique to make people think they either found the wrong person or make them unsure of the other listings mentioning you with only your name as an identifier
There is a connection between gravity and electromagnetics, but it's mostly through the stress-energy tensor giving photons momentum (and thus gravitational pull) but to use an EM field to measurable gravity you need absolutely insane amounts of energy.
You essentially need the literal inverse of a supermassive nuclear explosion (almost like a small star), because the gravitational effect of energy is equivalent to the gravitational effect of the mass which it would form if bound, and given E=mc^2 and the fact that nuclear bombs are small enough to barely have measurable gravity then the math means you need truly insane amounts of energy. (unless somebody can figure out a cheat to create directional pull with much less energy, but I strongly doubt it)
It's more plausible that somebody would be able to scale up "optical tweezers" to move large masses (directly depositing momentum of the energy field on an object) because that no longer involves the E=mc^2 equation, but it would be even more complicated by a HUGE factor than building the type of large supercooled electromagnets which already can make humans hover (due to water in the body being diamagnetic)
