The union drive at the Wikimedia Foundation is expanding
In June, UK staff at the nonprofit that runs Wikipedia became the first to announce their intentions to form a union. Now, US-based employees at the Wikimedia Foundation are joining the union drive, but management at the nonprofit have declined to voluntarily recognize their union. "While the Wikimedia Foundation touts to the public that they plan to take a neutral stance in our organizing efforts, they have already proven that not to be the case behind the scenes," a press release sent by Communications Workers of America, with which Wiki Workers United is affiliated, reads in part. "When the Foundation rejected our request for voluntary r … Read the full story at The Verge.

Amidst Sony's Disc Debacle, Capcom Sales Data Is a Brutal Reality Check for Fans of Physical Media
Just 6.7% of sales are physical. A lot of people like physical media — they like having the freedom of choice when it comes to purchasing a video game. And that's largely why Sony's decision to stop manufacturing PlayStation discs in 2028 has caused so much of an uproar. But when you sit down and look at the numbers... well, it's easy to see why companies like Sony have steadily lost interest in entertaining the physical market.

How the Supreme Court deepened uncertainty over Temporary Protected Status
Legal protections for hundreds of thousands of Haitians and Syrians in the U.S. have ended after the Supreme Court upheld the termination of their Temporary Protected Status, a ruling that could reshape the program's future. The big picture: The justices limited courts' ability to review Homeland Security's TPS decisions — making challenges harder and leaving hundreds of thousands of people at risk of losing legal status, work authorization and protection from deportation. Established in 1990, TPS protects nationals of designated countries fleeing extraordinary circumstances from deportation. "The ripple effects of this are going to be really big" and "really impactful for not only the TPS holders themselves, but for everyone in their communities," says Esther Sung, the Justice Action Center's legal director. State of play: The Trump administration has moved to end TPS for nationals of more than a dozen countries — sparking legal challenges scrambled by the high court's decision. At

Poll: So, What Do You Think Of Halo: Campaign Evolved?
Is this your first Halo game? Halo: Campaign Evolved is finally out in the wild, and I can't get enough of it. Despite getting very early access weeks before launch, I still find myself hopping on to replay the campaign, remix levels, try out new Skull modifiers, and have a laugh with friends. It's such a blast! The remake feels like a proper refresh for Halo Studios and a solid foundation to build upon for the future entries in the series - as well as more remakes! This is the most fun I've had with a Halo campaign in quite some time, and it'll keep me satisfied until Gears: E-Day arrives later this year. Read the full article on purexbox.com

Employees of OpenAI and Anthropic, as well as Google, Meta, Thinking Machines, Microsoft, Mistral, and other leading AI labs, have written a statement to the US government supporting a potential slowdown of sorts for frontier AI development - or at least a speed-up of global coordinated governance efforts. "Al could help create a dramatically better future, but that outcome is not guaranteed," the employees wrote in a statement. "The world's leading Al companies believe they could be close to automating Al research. It is hard to predict exactly how much this will accelerate Al progress, but there is a real risk that capability development … Read the full story at The Verge.
