Does anyone have a 'gift link' to the NYT article that published today "The Far Right Is Rising in the Land of ‘Never Again’"?

Thank you in advance.

digital preservation and archivist friends: it came to my attention recently that mobygames was bought by some trashy atari holding corporation a few years ago. all of the scans and item entries that many of us slaved over for the past 25 years were sold off. anyone submitting mobygames entries/updates are effectively working for free now.

i can't say i'm unhappy to see it going downhill with the new owners. updates to entries went from taking 1 day for approval from moderators, to 4-6 months.

it also had a frustrating limitation of declaring any software outside of its very traditional definition of game as out-of-scope.

that being said, it's a critical service for those researching and writing about games.

i'd like to know if there are any publicly-owned database initiatives in development to replace and/or subsume mobygames.

and if not, let's build one.

Ahoy friends, negative void #introduction time.

We are continuing some community resources exploring options for artist agency, solidarity and support started under #radioFreeFedi.

Our primary offering is help and support for building and/or hosting #faircamp sites for artists who may not have the space or desire to do so on their own.

If you're an artist who doesn't punch down we'll do what we can to help in a donate what you can model.

or

Help us remove barriers of time, tech, spoons, coin for artists exploring tools for better agency. Not a muso but like helping pro-artist things? You might donate as a sponsor to enable us to build and/or host for artists that may not have the means to contribute.

Faircamp is an open static site generation too enabling artists to have portable and host on practically any web space bundles for more directly previewing, sharing, and offering our art and voices.

It's not a social integration/platform nor a shopping cart, however many of us have had good experiences with appreciative support through offering Faircamp. It is a friendly and viable tool to consider having amongst the hate buffet of platforms we must navigate as artists and listeners.

It's self determined, not doing weird things with our work and can strongly offer listeners options to pay/donate for our work and receive well-tagged artist approved non-DRM downloads.

Faircamp had a large burst of updates and improvements recently and is quite responsive to artist feedback. We have process setup and tested for the classic and new things it can do for a single track through to labels and multi moniker catalogues.

Check out our site for more info and to check out some example artists' sites. Previous RFF addresses will continue working throughout this year.

DM here or email via the site if you'd like to discuss any help or end-to-end setup/hosting for a Faircamp bundle for your music.

Stay vertical out there and support an indie artist today.

#CallToAction via author Amy Jo Cousins: "Explicit instructions here for which Dem Reps/Senators especially need calls to kill this bill. Please read. 👇

This bill will disenfranchise millions."

The SAVE Act would make it almost impossible for anyone who has changed their name (hello, married people, especially trad white wives, and all queer people, and so on and so forth) to vote.

MAGA has a bill that would disenfranchise someone you know

If we’re going to come out of the next four years with our democracy somewhat intact, we’ve got to do everything within our power to ensure fair elections in 2026. Which is why we absolutely…
