Tell us about yourself: Why are you changing jobs?


Hᴇᴀᴠᴇɴꜱ! I don’t know how many times I put those formulaic questions to job applicants at my company.

Frankly, no need to ‘fry’ (overwork) your responses to them...



I just used a Minitel for the first time! The keyboard is glorious! Thank you @mediaarchaeologylab

Also check out the @driscoll book.

@dch This was a game changer in France when launched. Could access phone directory (freely), get news, get tinder-like/porn content (wooohooo!), get weather services, book appointments,…. A textual access to the world, some premises of bbs or what would be later internet. This, in an easy-to-get terminal even for homes where computers were nowhere to be found. This was a revolutionary device. we French seem to be often associated with revolutions, actually.

I hate that this was an insta-buy for me, but I have too much nostalgia for those games to pass it up.

tempted to pick this up. I didn't play the original games but clearly remember the scathing review of Sims 2: H&M Fashion Stuff in PC Zone.


Warner Bros platform fighter MultiVersus goes offline for good in May gamingonlinux.com/2025/01/warn…

#WBGames Over a decade of history with profitable full retail price single / vs / co-op multiplayer fighting games all with various dlc / cosmetic / character in game purchases and you decided to do this.

Smash Bros is great, WB smash bros is fine, but givin it away and charging buckets of real world cash for characters and costumes will inevitably result in a small fat cat player base, a shallow gameplay development cycle and over emphasis on upsold content generation.

Scientists! What are you supporting?

Much has been said about how expensive journals are. Large companies like Elsevier, Sage, Springer Nature, Taylor & Francis, or Wiley publish most of the major journals, and it is their shareholders that pocket the "rent" they receive thanks to academics' labor. CC BY-SA 4.0 Fluffybuns. There are alternatives. One of them is based on Wikipedia, whose process for vetting information is highly transparent.

Just making sure you’ve all seen the cutest, spikiest, tiniest king crab discovered in the Gulf of Mexico! 😍

too bad that the US and Google now call that part of the ocean 'Gulf of America' . The rest of the world shall continue the normal name!

Cute animal dough.

Fog envelopes an alpine basin, transforming it into something surreal. Every time I turned my head, it looked different.
