Videos of depositions that were taken down from YouTube because of the risk of harassment and "reputational harm" towards DOGE members Nate Cavanaugh and Justin Fox can be published online again. Judge Colleen McMahon, who had originally ordered that the videos be removed, wrote in this new ruling: "[T]he testimony in the videos concerns the conduct of public officials acting in their official capacities — a context in which the public interest in transparency and accountability is at its apex." Here's more from @404mediaco.

Just ban GenAI entirely in your projects.
Do not underestimate what the players pushing these tools are trying to do in literally every single sphere of the tech space.
I pushed for less harsh policies in the past. All I can say is please, do not. It was a mistake. You cannot trust anyone who helps make these tools, do not - even for a second - underestimate the will power they have and will use to ruin. Please don't make the mistakes I made.

Always "weh" about when folks call the color that especially, it feels in the vein of South Park dismissal of people's ability to like things they just plain like.

I like my plant/sage green. It's not 'millenial', it's a color that's calming and comforting to me. Don't box my expressing a genuine interest in a thing into a dismissive label category.

Further, providing the option to opt out did not address Grammarly's use of dead authors' identities. Deceased writers used by Expert Review reportedly included astronomer Carl Sagan and intersectional academic bell hooks.

For Twisted/XMPP developers: I've published Tx-XMPP, a (friendly) fork of Wokkel due to it being unmaintained for years. I've merged several PRs that I needed, along with code from `sat_tmp`, which was a "temporary" package to monkey-patch Wokkel to add those changes (finally not needed anymore after 11+ years!).

https://pypi.org/project/tx-xmpp/

I will provide minimal maintenance to keep it up-to-date with the latest versions of Twisted and Python.
