1. In a landmark ruling, the United States 4th Circuit Court of Appeals rules "gender identity is a protected characteristic," and that state coverage bans on trans care are unconstitutional.
This will have far-reaching impacts.

every time you meet or exceed the bars they set they magically become no longer legitimate. it’s almost like the whole thing was an entirely arbitrary gatekeeping exercise and the only way to win is not to play
@brooklynrob the biggest issue, honestly, is that people have taken for granted the gains that open source has made - and its future - and don't realize that both are under threat.
but there are signs - tiny ones, so far - that maybe that's changing. or could.

The XZ Utils compromise highlights the urgent need for software manufacturers to sustain the open source ecosystems they depend on. Read my teammates @jackhcable & @aevavoom's blog on how @CISAgov is approaching open source with a #SecureByDesign mindset: go.dhs.gov/JHf
CISA's @aevavoom and @jackhcable say the XZ Utils supply-chain incident highlights need for more investment: "Companies consuming open source software must contribute back — either financially or through developer time — to ensure a sustainable ecosystem." cisa.gov/news-events/ne…
CISA advisors @jackhcable and @aevavoom describe in our latest blog how we are responding to the XZ Utils compromise and how every tech manufacturer should take a #SecureByDesign approach to securing open source software: go.dhs.gov/JHf
The xz attack was not because it was open source. The attack failed because it was open source. The way this attack works for non-open source is the attacker spends 2 years getting an agent hired by contract software development vendor, they sneak it in, nobody finds out.
i can't believe i have to say this but the takes where people are saying "money won't solve OSS sustainability" ... they are saying something extremely narrow - so much so that it is barely worth saying
If you're looking for my takes on the xz exploit and addressing maintainer burnout/sustainable FOSS development, I gotchu over on masto: cloudisland.nz/@ehashman/1121…
On Transgender Day of Visibility, I think about how often visibility is granted to transgender people but not a voice.
How many newspapers, TV networks, legislative chambers, and more grant trans people "visibility" but no agency.
How our stories are so rarely told by us.
Public details of the xz hack mirror what so many #opensource maintainers have been worried about because most tech stacks are deeply dependent on volunteerism — so, burn out is a security concern.
