SoylentNews is people
SoylentNews
Today we stand proud, fellow Soylentils. Two stories have been received to explain why:
Slashdot.org switches accounts to Classic-like interface
It now appears that Slashdot has now completely changed its interface to the new "beta" interface - which looks almost the same as the "old" interface. Users can no longer view the non-beta classic site, which is being reported by users all around the site.
The only official news on the matter is in the form of a journal entry.
Does this mean it's time to go after our original mission and let them know we're here?
"Beta" Delenda est!
Remember Slashdot? Remember Beta? This blog post might be tagged "sudden outbreak of common sense," if it wasn't well over a year too late:
...effective today, we've jettisoned the Slashdot Beta platform out the side portal. [...] After heavily experimenting on the Beta platform and splitting traffic between Classic and Beta, we've made some decisions about which platform changes ultimately make sense: starting today, we're unifying users back on our Classic platform.
A raft of minor changes came along with this announcement. Still no comment, though, on whether those users are a "community" or an "audience."
And frankly, that's why soylentnews is better.

This is starting to sound like the profound map-screen wisdom Splinter gave me in the Ninja Turtles game on the C64.
"We must save April! We as in the plural. Meaning all of us except for me."
Good to know you aren't using the royal "we" there, master. Anything in that rodent noggin of yours about clearing really dickishly-designed low ceiling jumps or not getting trapped when screen transitions spawn me in the wrong place? No? OK, then.
(And with the addition of a comment on a childhood cartoon property this is officially a complete, proper, and irredeemable productivity-wasting thread.)
