Where to go to get updates on the demise of Slashdot during the next 7 days?

I don't want to contribute to hits on the site.

I have a login at the Green Biscuit place But all they discuss is the futures plans for the new site.

Also, I just noticed that the last 33 articles on Slashdot since Friday evening have been posted by Timothy, no other posters.

I was discussing Slashdot Beta with a few of my coworkers.

The first one said " It doesn't affect me, I use the mobile version most of the time".

Another one said "i use RSS feeds"

The next one said "It's ok, it looks like the mobile"

When something is wrong in the world a lot of sheeple will do nothing unless it directly affects them.

May be they put something in the water to suppress the urge to protest.

First they came for... Then they came for me--and there was no one left to speak for me.

Submission + - Top 4 GGJ14 Picks by Unity Blog (unity3d.com)

Submitted by Sabre Runner
Sabre Runner writes: The official blog of the Unity Game Engine, one of the most popular cross-platform game development environments available, has selected four games out of this year's Global Game Jam, an annual game development event in which games are created in a specific theme and in under 48 hours. The event's theme was "We don't see things as they are, we see things as we are" and it produced over 4000 games, over half of which were made with the Unity Engine.
Each game is free to download or play on the web.
Disclosure: I worked on the game which is featured first and modeled for one of the characters.

Submission + - UK's "Year of Code" Director Doesn't Know How to Code 1

Submitted by theodp
theodp writes: Slate's Lily Hay Newman reports that UK education officials last week launched a Year of Code initiative to promote interest in programming and to train teachers, with a director who freely admits that she doesn’t know how to code. "I'm going to put my cards on the table," Lottie Dexter told Newsnight host Jeremy Paxman on national TV. "I can't code. I've committed this year to learning to code ... so over this year I'm going to see exactly what I can achieve." The curmudgeonly skeptical Paxman was also unimpressed by Dexter's argument that the national initiative could teach people to make virtual birthday cards, a la Mark Zuckerberg's examples for Code.org. Dexter might want to study the game film (YouTube) of how Google exec Susan Wojcicki — a poster child for the U.S. Hour of Code that's coming soon to the UK — handled a potentially awkward question posed by a little girl ("What is one way you apply Computer Science to your job at Google?"). In the U.S., efforts by companies and tech leaders to make CS education "an issue like climate change" have been hugely successful and even credited as the inspiration behind new legislation to allow computer programming to count as HS foreign language credit, a movement that Code.org finds alarming.
