On July 3, 2025, the Indian government ordered X to block 2,355 accounts in India, including international news outlets like @Reuters and @ReutersWorld, under Section 69A of the IT Act. Non-compliance risked criminal liability. The Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology demanded immediate action- within one hour- without providing justification, and required the accounts to remain blocked until further notice.
After public outcry, the government requested X to unblock @Reuters and @ReutersWorld.
We are deeply concerned about ongoing press censorship in India due to these blocking orders. X is exploring all legal options available. Unlike users located in India, X is restricted by Indian law in its ability to bring legal challenges against these executive orders. We urge affected users to pursue legal remedies through the courts.

@IroncladDev Consider glove80 from @moergo_keeb. Your pinkies will thank you, plus it’s cheaper. @kinesisergo refuses to update their designs.

@theliverdoc @theliverdoc What about @bryan_johnson blueprint ? He seems to be taking a hell lot of supplements.

Hello Amit, as a response to your question, I had asked you to stop all of these medications/supplements.
I wanted to tell you why. I am sorry this is a long post, but you asked me a 20 mark General Medicine final exam paper question. So here goes.
1. Vitamin B is a complex of vitamins.
They include, B1 (thiamin), B2 (riboflavin), B3 (niacin), B5 (pantothenic acid), B6 (pyridoxine), B7 (biotin), B9 (folic acid) and B12 (cobalamin).
Each of these has its own benefits for the human body, each has its own sources from where you get them and also specific diseases associated with their deficiencies. Here is a simplified source on it: intechopen.com/chapters/78374
Some foods are high in several B vitamins, and certain foods are particularly high in specific B vitamins. Eating a balanced diet is key.
Some groups of people are at risk for specific vitamin B. So they require supplementation - example pregnant women require folic acid, patients with Crohn's disease (inflammatory bowel disease) are deficient in vitamin B12 (because the part of intestine that absords vitamin B12, the ileum is affected in them). There are no people who require ALL vitamin B as supplements except those who are unable to take orally, bed ridden and on comfort care, like critically ill patients or chronically ill, disabled persons. You dont fall into any of these categories, so please stop Vitamins B.
2. Vitamin D. In 2015, The Endocrine Society of India recommended vitamin D supplementation for Indian people in a set of guidelines. They recommended 400 international units (IU) of vitamin D a day for infants, 600-1000 IU for children, 1000 IU for adolescents and pregnant women after 12 weeks’ pregnancy, and 1000-2000 IU for adults. bmj.com/content/351/bm…
They recommended testing for vitamin D only in patients who have signs of osteomalacia, osteoporosis, musculoskeletal disorders, chronic liver or kidney disease, inflammatory bowel disease, or patients receiving drugs that raise the risk of vitamin
D deficiency. In apparently healthy persons such as yourself, you need to improve dietary inclusion and if the diet is such that it is a vitamin D deficient one (such as vegan), then supplement is life long as per guidelines.
3. Omega-3 fatty acids (fish oil). The recommended omega-3 fatty acids intake is shown in Table 1 of this page: ods.od.nih.gov/factsheets/Ome…. Classical essential fatty acid deficiency in healthy individuals is virtually nonexistent. Clinical signs of essential–fatty-acid deficiency are usually only found in patients receiving parenteral nutrition (intravenous food) that lacks poly-unsaturated fatty acids.
Omega-3 supplements for people who do not have a high cardiovascular disease risk is not recommended. Omega-3 supplements (1000mg per day) is recommended for only those with existing cardiac disease or high risk of cardiac disease and also to reduce triglycerides in those with high triglycerides. If your diet is one which is already deficient in omega-3 - for example no fish/seafood intake, then supplementation to target daily recommended intake is reasonable. ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/books/NBK56431…
4. Garlic supplements. A great deal of research has been done on garlic, especially on garlic’s effect on high blood lipid levels and high blood pressure.
However the evidence is limited to recommend garlic supplements in general or in specific patient populations. No clinical societies worldwide recommend garlic supplements.
Taking garlic supplements may increase the risk of bleeding. Using these along with other blood thinners is a strict no. Using garlic as a substitute for other blood thinners or anti-platelets is also not recommended as garlic is not proven to have equal efficacy or superiority compared to current standard medications.
Garlic supplements may interfere with the effectiveness of some standard drugs that people are already on. nccih.nih.gov/health/garlic
5. Turmeric. Routine use of turmeric supplementation is not advised.
Turmeric has only cellular and molecular level properties that has not been translated to humans through rigorous studies and has no clinically effective benefits in any of the quality studies conducted and has a lot of poor quality and methodically inept published works with impertinent cellular benefits.
Turmeric supplements is also an upcoming cause for severe liver injury. Turmeric in curries and not in capsules.
You can read more about it here x.com/theliverdr/sta…, here x.com/theliverdr/sta… and here x.com/theliverdr/sta….
6. Tocotrienol - is a bioactive compound belonging to vitamin E family. Vitamin E supplements are richer in tocopherols than tocotrienols. There is no evidence that tocotrienols are better than tocopherols in any human condition.
In adults, the recommended vitamin E intake is 15mg per day which is equal to 33 IU. Most vitamin-E-only supplements provide ≥67 mg (100 IU of natural vitamin E). These amounts are substantially higher than the recommended doses. This is comes above the vitamin E you are naturally getting from diet.
Vitamin E supplementation in routine is not recommended. High dose vitamin E is used in specific patients, such as those with non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) or those who are on a very low-fat diet.
A simple way to increase vitamin E in diet is to increase daily intakes of nuts, seeds, fruits, and green vegetables.
ods.od.nih.gov/factsheets/Vit…
Nutraceutical companies make tocotrienol rich vitamin E supplements which are far more expensive than plain vitamin E (tocopherol based) and has no known additional benefits. A good diet is all you need. Tocotrienol is a waste of your money.
So, stop all of the useless supplements you are on, and stick to the aspirin only - only if even that is prescribed by your primary physician.
Otherwise, ditch that too.
"One of the first duties of the physician is to educate the masses not to take medicine."
- Sir William Osler.

@theliverdoc So I started taking vitamins during Covid (just to make my mom happy) and the habit stuck. I take Vitamin B, D, Fish Oil, garlic pills (more as an alternative to aspirin blood thinner, I am 44). Also take turmeric, tocotrienol. All in pill format. Are any of these any use?

@ProductHunt @signalapp @mobilecoin How can @signalapp become privacy-focused when the founding principle of @mobilecoin (centralized coin) is
"At MobileCoin, we believe governments have a legitimate interest in regulating the economic lives of their citizens"?
English

ICYMI: @signalapp teamed up with @MobileCoin lets you send privacy-focused Crypto like Zcash and Monero to your Signal contacts.
This could turn Signal into the privacy-focused alternative to Venmo. These "private coins" bypass banks and is all done on the blockchain.
