If you’re missing playing NYT games while their tech guild is on strike, they’ve made a separate website where you can play similar games without crossing the picket line! there’s also links for donating to their strike fund if you feel so inclined

In case you haven't heard, the NYT Tech Guild is on strike and trying to get a fair contract.
They are asking us to support their picket line by NOT using the NYT Games or Cooking Apps.
More information on how to support the strike below.

FOLLOW/SHARE
If you would like to follow their strike efforts you can find updates on Instagram or TikTok
DON'T CROSS PICKET LINES
They have been kind enough to create a Strike Friendly version of some of the NYT Games that we are allowed to play. They've even included some recipes for NYT Cooking users! You can enjoy them here!
DONATE
If you find yourself able to financially support the strike fund, they are accepting donations here.

For my NYT games nerds, the NYT Tech Guild is on strike - and they made a games page so you can have a good time in these dark days AND not break the picket line.

How to support the NY Times Tech Guild Strike
"We are the 600+ unionized tech workers of The New York Times — software engineers, product managers, data analysts, and designers. We power games like Wordle, Connections and The Crossword. We bring new recipes to your pocket and new Audio formats that make it easier to connect with the journalism we publish. We build, support and grow the numerous NYT websites and apps you know and love.
For over two years we have been bargaining for our first contract. At every turn, NYT management has dragged its feet, disrespected us, and even committed unfair labor practices (ULPs). We need a contract NOW!"

To support the tech guild, play games on their union built site instead of the NY Times App

Doing both the NYT Crossword Puzzle and Spelling Bee are part of my nightly routine, but giving it up is a small price to pay. Tech guild gotta get paid!

The NYT tech guild is striking, and asking you not to play their various games (Wordle, spelling bee, etc)
In the meantime, here's their alternative:

As much as I think it's cool the NYT Tech Guild made games for their strike this is the most extremely blatant AI building I've ever seen

If anyone loves playing the NYT games like I do please stop playing them when the team behind it is on a strike.
Below is the link to their TikTok account from where I have been getting my information
Below is link to the games they have made that you can play when they are on strike and a place where you can donate to their union.

The Tech Guild says we can play Wordle again, but I need you all to know I would DIE for Scabby.

woke up in a steaming awful mood but then carol texted to say she’s actually in town today, my coworker agreed to close for me so I can get out earlier, I ate a delicious egg with my lovely roommate who keeps going to bed before I get home so I never see her, and I did all the sewing projects i’ve been putting off for lack of thread

A great bluesky thread by Maggie Astor explains it all very well, but Tl;Dr:
Still interact with the news but DNI cooking and games until the tech guild says differently bc they also fix the site and we need to go crash it, basically.

Striking New York Times tech workers have created a “Guild Builds” page dedicated to strike-themed games you can play, including a spin on Wordle, a word search, and the custom Connections I reported on earlier today. As part of its strike announcement on Monday, the New York Times Tech Guild requested that people don’t cross the digital picket line to play the NYT’s daily puzzle games. This collection of five other games offers an alternative if you want to support the striking workers but also do some brain teasers.

btw using the new york times election dashboard is crossing the picket line, nyt tech workers are currently striking
Publishing the Needle live on election night relies on computer systems maintained by engineers across the company, including some who are currently on strike. How we display our election forecast will depend on those systems, as well as incoming data feeds, and we will only publish a live version of the Needle if we are confident those systems are stable.
If we are not able to stream the Needle’s results live, our journalists plan to run its statistical model periodically, examine its output and publish updates in our live blog about what they see — giving our readers a sense of where the race actually stands over the course of the night.
https://www.nytimes.com/article/election-2024-results-needle.html
Effectively, very likely that updates on the dashboard are due to journalists crossing the picket line to do struck work.
