I have no idea how Mastodon works, but if everyone I follow is jumping off a cliff I might as well jump too. Presumably they know about some crash mat I don't...

Wait lol looking at this I think they replaced t-witter dot com with x dot com

That's so sketchy to rewrite my posts

[Ryan Amos, PhD @[email protected] @RyanBMAmos]

So if this site is called X, why is it that https://t.co/k62b5baDC7 *still* redirects to https://t.co/FT6YzMO0mc?

@MaazBinMusa @AdblockPlus @brave Bananas. There’s some custom filters floating around, although uBO’s dev says they’re bad practice

[R. Hill @gorhill]

@endermanch These filters have been obsolete since a long time, no content blockers is using these. They are just being spread by non-official sources since at least last June https://t.co/OijfALku8f

Noncompetes undermine economic liberty. Evidence suggests they also suppress wages—even for people who aren't bound by a noncompete—and hurt innovation.

In @nytopinion I explain why @FTC has proposed banning noncompetes from employment contracts. https://t.co/EFnfVKauTL

@emilymbender I used it yesterday to help populate a D&D campaign. After a few iterations I had a decent cast of background characters that were customized to my story, and a decent list of loot. It’s nothing important to the plot, just niche details to fill in missing spots

[FTC @FTC]

FTC proposes rule to ban noncompete clauses, which hurt workers and harm competition: https://t.co/K69GBDn6Pu /1

[Lina Khan @linamkhan]

1. @FTC has taken action against three firms for imposing noncompetes on their workers. As a result of these efforts, thousands of workers who'd been subject to noncompete restrictions can now freely switch jobs or start a competing business, without fear.

@sg_HGA @troyhunt @1Password Can’t speak for 1Password, but for Bitwarden, I hit export on LastPass, import on Bitwarden, permanently deleted the plaintext CSV (shred would be best). It was pretty quick and almost everything transferred well. Nothing was lost

@aseidman @DavidZipper @psantloki Moving away from the article, I’d say it really depends on what you define as a bribe. Like if I pay for expedited passport processing, is that a bribe? Or if I pay a fee as part of a FOIA request? Is it different if a private company is collecting the fee?

[Ryan Amos, PhD @[email protected] @RyanBMAmos]

@johnsel92 I wouldn’t be too sad. A lot of infosec Twitter is on Mаstodon, and I imagine my productivity would go up. Best of all I’d stop generating ad revenue

I’m curious if they’ll enforce the rule retroactively or only against journalists like Taylor Lorenz

Glad I updated my username & bio before linking to other social media sites was considered malware. Free speech, as in: free for me but not for thee.

Never thought I’d be retweeting our space overlord, but go vote!

[Elon Musk @elonmusk]

Should I step down as head of Twitter? I will abide by the results of this poll.

[Ryan Amos, PhD @[email protected] @RyanBMAmos]

@deviantollam Some data: this showed up in my feed

[Ryan Amos, PhD @[email protected] @RyanBMAmos]

Since I’m already breaking rules with my username, let’s break another one: no making fun of Elon Musk. The guy who can’t handle any criticism, especially from astronauts https://t.co/Ny3lXH7W6o

[Ryan Amos, PhD @[email protected] @RyanBMAmos]

@deviantollam Hmmm so https://ioc[.]exchange/@ryanamos won’t work?

Confirmed…

@a_m_mastroianni Side note, it strikes me that, following your argument, publication bias is a direct outcome of peer review. I know I’ve cut results we didn’t think were sufficiently interesting to get published 🤷‍♂️ We’ll never know, though!

[Ryan Amos, PhD @[email protected] @RyanBMAmos]

@a_m_mastroianni From my few years in academia, my impression was that peer review was partially about accuracy, but largely about boosting the impact factor of the journal. In that sense, it does it’s job. But it’s interesting to read about how it fails to do what actually matters

[Sam Mintz @samjmintz]

Shutting down accounts which were tracking private jets using public data is a tangible attack on journalism, even if the accounts weren't associated with news outlets or journalists.
