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

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.
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.

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

the myth of "consensual" switch [image of the nintendo switch 2 and a woman saying "i consent" while donald trump says "i don't!"] isn't there somebody you forgot to ask?

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

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

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?

I’ve known Joe since we started working together at Android Central six years ago. He’s a damn hard worker and a great writer — hire this man if you have the capacity to.

Today, I was laid off from my role as Mobile Section Editor at Digital Trends — as were most of my other full-time editorial colleagues.

After almost 3 years with the company, I was told that today I no longer have a job.

The new UK/EU travel authorizations are mostly just a minor inconvenience, but I’m a little annoyed that both systems are tied to your passport number, seeing as mine expires later this year 🙃 Gonna need to apply (and pay) for an ETA twice

Very happy with where freelance video has taken me in the last year, but lately I've been sorta missing writing and podcasting. I don't want to go back to doing either full-time, but... 🤔
