> Greater time spent on social networking websites led to higher psychological distress, an unmet need for mental health support, poor self-rated mental health, and increased suicidal ideation. In conclusion, greater time spent on online social networking promotes self-harm behavior and suicidal ideation in vulnerable adolescents.

> In September 2021, Bytedance announced it was making several changes to its algorithm and user interface in China, limiting children to just 40 minutes a day, introducing a Youth Mode for under 14s, and preventing the app being accessible to children between 10pm and 6am.

The astute reader will note that China has no such concerns for children outside of China, to the contrary, encouraging them to spend as much time on the app as possible.

Presumably they're talking about the recent so-called "demake".

There is now an enhanced edition of the game for the Spectrum 128 (and of course emulators thereof). It takes higher-res graphics from other editions of the original game, for more capable computers, and has other improvements.

It seems the author's dropbox account couldn't handle the traffic, so I added my own links. Hopefully now people will be able to download both issues:
Issue #1: http://www.vintageisthenewold.com/amigaville-a-new-amiga-magazine/
Issue #2: http://www.vintageisthenewold.com/amiga-magazine-amigaville-issue-2-is…
If it doesn't work, comment on the article, please.
Hope that helps
