"The question we need to consider is not just “how does good journalism survive” but how can journalism model survival? Personally, I believe the way forward looks like collectives and worker-owned publications. "

Here's a good starter pack for y'all:

Folks who create videos about games on the internet: I have questions for you if you'd be so kind. I'm trying to determine the relationship between traditional media and those who create videos about games and have never worked for the games press. Sharing is appreciated!

Thanks for all the responses so far! I'm going to close this in a couple days so if you know any more creators who might fill this out, please keep sharing until then. Results are super interesting so far and I'm looking forward to sharing them with everybody as part of a larger project!

The Troll Hole Adventure (1980) When Kenneth Lochner was hired by Dartmouth away from Montana State College as a programmer in 1964, he had been working in computers for four years. Lochner in particular had been teaching FORTRAN…

The obscure Interact computer made in Michigan only sold in the thousands, but made an impact in France. I tell the story behind the computer (and how France got involved), and how the tech influenced the game I'm still only partway through (The Troll Hole Adventure).

I agree with the other commenters suggesting a fresh Windows install since your specs now should solidly meet your needs. Raw part prices for what you listed run around $1000 for a notch above lowest-tier picks, with wiggle room depending on the specific RAM and mobo. pcpartpicker.com/list/LCmtTM

Going from AM4 to AM5 means the RAM will need replacing, too.

GenAI has polluted image search results, especially for animal pics. It’s now basically impossible to find accurate art references.

Enter this: a repository of open-access, AI-free images of wild & exotic taxa. Artists creating *without AI* have blanket permission for derivative/transformative use.

Without federal funding, public media — and the truth-telling, community-connecting role it plays — is at risk.

Local stations may vanish. Millions could lose trusted news and vital information. If you are ready to join the fight for journalism, donate now: n.pr/458sOhq

Are the business/tech media layoffs as of late due to reduced referral traffic from social media? Plateauing revenue growth from subscriptions? A political climate that deprioritizes other news categories? Or?

A magazine article on the multisystem breaking down its features, such as the motorised chair, the phaser light gun, monitor, disk drive, and foot pedals and rudder. It has a photo of a long-haired guy sitting in the arcade-like contraption.

Perhaps the most notorious bit of unreleased UK gaming hardware of the late 80s: The Konix Multisystem.

Beginning life as a multi-controller gaming peripheral, the Multisystem project evolved into an 8086-based video game system aiming for performance to rival the Commodore Amiga.

Forcing the same processes on all *and* making them write by hand, slowing everything down and making edits/iteration painful... I sympathize with teachers' plights on AI, but this brings together so much I hated as a student and sucks out all the joy. Especially for those of us w/ poor penmanship.

I'm still looking to chat with a hiring manager/director or someone involved in hiring for product teams, ideally in tech, about their interest in applicants' L*nkedIn profiles. Know anyone who might have a few minutes to answer a few questions?

Freelance friends: for working with international clients, do you have a preferred payment vendor? PayPal just takes such a huge cut these days and I’m looking for alternatives. Ty! 💖

All right y’all, so here’s the deal.

We’re struggling. Our monthly goal is to sell 1500 books. This month, we’ve sold less than 400.

We need your help. We HAVE to sell 1500 books by the end of Feb to keep our doors open. This was supposed to be a video, but Bluesky can't do 2 mins of video(Thread)

Okay, so I'd love to hear some ideas. I have a small and growing media business that is still very much in do-or-die mode. The way to get new business has, for the last decade, been a heavy social media presence, and use of storefront integration. But buying ads on these sites feels unpalatable.
