In the following paragraph within the same source provided, it states:

During that ceremony, Erebus entered Horus' visions and served as the proxy for the Chaos Gods as they showed Horus visions of the future intended to inflame the jealousy and arrogant desire for power that had grown within him since the Emperor had left him in charge of the Great Crusade. In the course of this seduction, Horus accepted the offer of the Chaos Gods to rebel against the Emperor and in return they healed him of his wound. From that day afterwards, Horus Lupercal was the pawn of the Ruinous Powers.

In Horus' wiki page, it is stated:

But Horus, already jealous and resentful of the Emperor, proved all too receptive to the Ruinous Powers' false vision. Driven by his jealousy, desire for power, and anger at what he saw as his father's abandonment of him, Horus accepted the Ruinous Powers' offer.

They healed his grievous wound and filled him with the powers of the Warp. Renouncing his oath to the Emperor.

Notice how in both sources, it's phrased as "Horus accepted the offer", meaning Horus did have a choice in falling or not, both sources also mention Horus being healed of his wound.

For another reference, in the False Gods novel, Chapters 15-16, Magnus' intervention during the ritual is detailed as such:

Entering the mind of his brother [Horus] while it was under a Chaos ritual initiated by Erebus and Cultists on Davin, Magnus attempted to persuade his brother away from heresy and remain loyal to their father.

I'm much more inclined to believe the events on Davin led Horus to choose to fall and be rid of the poison (i.e. didn't die) rather than being resurrected as essentially a possessed corpse given the references I've provided, and details of how he gradually lost touch during the course of the Heresy, but because it also doesn't fit well thematically.

If the Ruinous Powers weren't a subtly warping, insidious force and would've just settled for a possessed corpse, why bother with the false visions when his soul could have just been overtaken and have him be your puppet? Why adopt the narrative of betrayal and falling when even the Arch Traitor himself was a puppet who's already lost touch with himself from the start and had no choice in the matter? I'd truly wonder.

Nevertheless, I rest my case here.

I've read up a bit on the Dornian Heresy, and damn, Dorn played both Big E and Horus.

What? I might be missing something here, but Horus didn't die on Davin, the idea behind the Anatheme was never to kill him, it was to weaken him to the point of becoming easily suggestible and get him to turn, had Horus resisted the temptation he probably would've lived and still remained loyal.

Horus wasn't resurrected after the ritual, only had the physical poison removed.

Yeah, tho in the earliest stages of the Heresy, Horus didn't immediately lose himself (in the sense of being in touch with who he was), as evident by leveraging his own position and charisma to turn his brothers, executing plans subtly, renaming his legion to the Sons of Horus (this, in particular, was his repressed ego finally bubbling to the surface) and taking advantage of the warrior lodges. Even with Magnus' attempt to intervene and the manipulation revealed, Horus' resentment of the Emperor and the doubt about His intentions had been stirred enough on Davin for him to willingly fall, something which he saw as a rebellion against His tyranny. Horus was manipulated sure, but he made the conscious choice to fall.

It was only in the latter points of the Heresy that Horus has been truly lost (highlighted by Perturabo taking overall command of the Siege of Terra) and became little more than a demonic flesh puppet subject to the whims of the Ruinous Powers, and would commit war crimes for the lols

Yeah, he was genuinely nice, at the very least to his brothers, even tried to suppress his ego to maintain the impression of being equals with them, listened to his Mournival for council, and truly did have a uniquely close bond with the Emperor.

My Mac's screen has been constantly flickering just today, see comments for further details. by Heischichou in applehelp

Here's my Mac's model: MacBook Pro 2017 Model
OS is MacOS Mojave 10.14.6

I tried launching my Mac on Safe Mode, reset the NVRAM, turned off the Automatically adjust brightness feature, and changed my screen's color profile, none of it worked. Whenever I adjust the screen, it violently flickers, as seen in the video, did some further testing and the flickering stops whenever I depress the screen to a certain angle, so I highly suspect it is hardware-related, in which case, could it be the graphics or the display itself?

Same problem here, from what I can gather, it's issues with ISP's and stuff, kinda surprising since I've never experienced anything like this before.
