Photo wouldn’t be the primary use case by any means, just a nice-to-have that the FX3 really doesn’t excel in

Am I crazy for wanting to buy an FX30 as a b-cam in 2025? The 26MP sensor would be really nice to have for when clients ask for photos, and I just always feel a little nervous not having a backup in case my FX3 suddenly stops working

Today, the Vox Media Union learned the devastating news that Polygon, home to some of gaming and geek culture’s most beloved and respected journalism, is being sold off to controversial website Valnet. As part of the sale, nearly all of Polygon’s award-winning staff were laid off. Our colleagues at New York Magazine saw additional layoffs today as well. To say that we are outraged and heartbroken is an understatement. This marks the fifth round of layoffs at Vox Media-owned brands in a six-month period. It has occurred during contract bargaining in which the company has thus far rejected all of the union’s economic proposals, and refuses to offer meaningful counters. This move not only disrespects our colleagues, it blatantly undermines a good-faith bargaining process. Arguably even more demoralizing is Vox Media’s decision to sell a lauded games website to a company known for alleged exploitative conditions and for devaluing rigorous journalism in favor of churning out content. Vox Media’s lack of respect for Polygon’s reputation in games media, the hard work and passion of its staff, and the robust community of gamers and fans who support it could not be clearer. Losing Polygon to such a company is not just a loss for Vox Media, but for our industry and internet culture as a whole. From a sustainability perspective, it makes little financial or long-term sense, and speaks to a lack of care and consideration for this company and its staff. The Writers Guild of America East and Vox Media Union will continue to offer help and support to our colleagues at Polygon and New York who are leaving us, just as we have supported our colleagues impacted by previous layoffs around the company. Please stay tuned for more information on how you can support those impacted by these layoffs. We will continue the fight for economic protections and job security in bargaining, where we set new standards for workers in the entire digital media industry. We stand with you all.

We are devastated and outraged about today's layoffs, the sale of Polygon, and the loss of staff across Polygon and NY Mag. We stand with our colleagues at @polygon.com com and @nymagunion.bsky.social in solidarity.

Wildly disappointing and sad news. The world of niche journalism keeps shrinking as glorified equity firms like Valnet and Future continually buy every property, gut the staff, and drive away the core audiences with SEO farming, rampant ads, AI drivel, and the like

Really wish I had more music and fashion friends on Bluesky. Love my tech friends but I just… rarely ever want to talk about work on social media anymore

NEW: It's official, hundreds of workers at the @wapotechguild.bsky.social are ready to win their union!

Sign this petition and let management know that these workers DESERVE voluntary recognition.

Yeah that’s only a 15 min walk to Ichiran. As much as I like Bryant Park, I rarely ever go to Midtown when I don’t have to so I don’t really have any other strong recs nearby

Manhattan’s huge, need specifics. Broadly speaking though, Ichiran is some of the best ramen I’ve ever had and the 31st/6th location is pretty easy to get to from anywhere

it’s been rainy and cold and windy in nyc almost every fucking day for weeks and i’m losing my mind

Thrilled to be invited to check out the @nintendousa.bsky.social Switch 2 early!

It brings me no joy to confirm that it's true what they say, taking time away from (text-based) social media truly does wonders for your mental health! That said, I'm gonna start using this again bc I'm a bored masochist and miss microblogging

February’s been very busy and very fun so far

About to be my most chaotic and exhausting but fun month yet

I mean for much as people joke about NYC smelling bad (often true!), the city has generally good air quality. At the very least, it isn’t bad enough that I imagine you’d notice a sudden change in only a month — and to be clear, plenty of people are still driving

The lower portion that’s affected by congestion pricing is — surprise! — less congested and more walkable. Drove a rental back in from PA last week and the Holland Tunnel was eerily calm

I imagine all of the opposite is now true at the GWB, where drivers are increasingly diverting to avoid the fee

Shared audio with AirPods is easily one of my favorite tricks when traveling together

Hey Gemini, can you make it so I don’t have to approve every large download individually? Or zip multiple files? Or at least sort the files properly once I’ve downloaded the seven-part zip? Or make sure permissions are sorted before I copy a folder link? Or add literally any value?

I don't use either anymore but unfortunately most of my clients and their crew/sponsors/etc upload to Drive

Truly baffling that twelve years after its launch, Google Drive is still such an incredibly user-hostile experience

sending video files in google drive is an act of malevolence

Ha been a while since I’ve been invited onto one but I’m open to it!

Nintendo/Sony/Microsoft pls I don’t care about better graphics or higher frame rates or HDR gaming I just want hall effect joysticks so my $70+ controllers can stop drifting

the joycons from the switch 2 reveal

bold choice to show the new joycons literally drifting

Even when it doesn’t pay off, I’ve always loved that Nintendo takes big risks with each new console and tries some totally new approach to gaming. The Switch 2 looks nice but it also kinda just looks like… a bigger, modernized Switch?
