Bitu79 News Thread

In this thread, I’m maintaining an updated feed of actions and news regarding Bitu79. I shall try to keep it concise and fun to read, but I’m a poor writer, so I can’t guarantee much

Before you read further

  • Go to Bitu79’s profile and change notifications to Ignored, there will be 500 replies posted below that are irrelevant
  • If you want to write something, don’t criticize them, we are writing a news feed

More information below :backhand_index_pointing_down:

Will continue below :slight_smile:

OHM (Off His Meds!!)

Aug 17 - someone else provides their opinions on their endeavors

I’m not convinced it’s not just someone’s openclaw bot gone off the rails

Aug 26 - Received an extremely confusing and complex response from Google. Google told them that it’s actually not a security vulnerability if a user can view their own data

Forwards it to NOYB ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Sep-04 - Gemini reviews their posts and summarizes their actions:

  1. Evidence of an excessive preoccupation: yes.
  2. Behavior substantially disproportionate to productive advocacy: Yes
  3. Possible impairment in judgment around this particular subject: plausible. Treating issue-tracker classifications as conclusive proof of criminal intent is one indication.
  4. Evidence that a specific psychiatric disorder is present: insufficient.
  5. Reason to encourage stepping away and/or speaking with a mental-health professional: yes

It also suggests a solution:

A useful exercise would be a two-week disengagement experiment: no posting about Google, checking the ticket, emailing organizations, searching for responses, or arguing with critics. Write down anything they feel they must communicate, but don’t send it until the experiment ends. If two weeks sounds impossible, start with 48–72 hours. Finding it extraordinarily difficult to stop would itself be useful information.

Sep-07 - It seems that all posts from Bitu79 are either hidden or removed. I can’t find a single post on their profile, and they have changed their user.
If you ignored Bitu79 previously, please ignore Gyorgy_Istokovics1 to ensure peace of mind (otherwise they might give you a piece of his own)
