I've hung on as long as I can, but Twitter opening the floodgates on harassment of transgender people is where I feel compelled to go. I've loved my many years here, and all the relationships that arose from it. I'm sad that era is over, but 🤷. See y'all on the toot service… 👋
NEW: @twitter has quietly removed a section of its hateful conduct policy that aimed to protect transgender people from targeted misgendering and deadnaming.

Twitter’s decision to covertly roll back its longtime policy is the latest example of just how unsafe the company is for users and advertisers alike.

Who knew the fracas from the Rust Foundation over trademarks would lead to such a thoughtful and spirited discussion?! Last night, @ag_dubs, @adamhjk, and @steveklabnik joined @bcantrill and me for a scintillating episode of Oxide and Friends.

One of the great regional Python conferences is moving to an exciting new location in the countryside outside Petaluma. The organizers are seriously committed to health, safety, and CoC enforcement, making NBPython a fab pick if you can do only one conference this year.

Among all of his *many* mistakes, don’t forget that @elonmusk is singlehandedly crushing a big chunk of Internet research for no good reason.

Okay. Inspired by news & @stealcase, let me clarify something.
When AI companies release "open training data" for a model, they're generally sharing *fine-tuning* data. The big issues w data and consent are NOT of this type. The issues are with the MAIN DATA used in training.🧵

REMINDER: This is your last month to order free COVID tests!
For most people on private insurance and Medicare, reimbursement for free tests will end on May 11 with the end of the Public Health Emergency. Those on Medicaid will continue to have coverage for one more year.

IMPORTANT: For those asking, reimbursement for #COVID tests, treatments, and vaccines are mostly covered by the Public Health Emergency, which is separate from the national emergency, and expires in one month on May 11. Go get them now!
