I ordered the print version, but I have to tell you that print-on-demand provider has an incredibly convoluted purchase cycle. I came close to stopping at least 3 times.
* No buy now button: add to cart, accept cookies, view cart, checkout
* Account creation required pre-purchase
* Email verification required pre-purchase
At the least, it was a fairly linear flow except for the email verification (and the email was instant) but christ just let me pay.
EDIT: Ah I see, reading the other comments it's not meant to be paid for. It's meant to be distributed to people "in the right circles". Okay, lucky someone mentioned that. The POD provider only has a 1-hour cancellation policy. Though on second thought, I can't be arsed to go back and cancel for the $27. I'll just skip subsequent ones.
I think this is great. I love this.
I immediately went to the menu to see how I could buy a subscription, and there isn’t a place, as far as I can tell through my search, to do so.
This goes for all new startups (non-profit or not!) if you want me to give you money, make it easy for me to give you money.
This is an online magazine, ostensibly, and as such I would expect to see a “subscribe” page, which would take payment information, and I would get emailed new issues as they come out.
Paged Out are looking for more articles for the next issue. Information here: https://pagedout.institute/?page=cfp.php
This is so great, a breath of fresh air in the world convoluted with AI content. Reading it gives some peace to my mind for some reason, having enough trust in a source to give you high-quality packed content in an artistic form feels good. Thank you, I hope this survives for long.
Any other recommendations for such good sources?
I'm old enough to remember 90s zine culture and i have to say this is awesome. Thanks for this.
Wicked - had a skim through and there's some great content in here!
As a security engineer/reverse engineer I'm absolutely subscribing to this and sharing among colleagues.
It's freaking awesome to see AI models (handwriting OCR) being distributed by printed out on a magazine page.
Is it ironic that they publish it as a PDF? I get that it's the easiest way to control the print layout and also nicely self-contained... but how many of us are opening it in a sandbox as we should?
Gold mine, thanks for sharing. Kickass content, beautifully formatted. Instant buy.
There's a typo in the URL here: > If you have a topic in mind but are not sure if it is suitable for Paged Out!, check out the Writing Articles page or contact us
It links to `?page=writing.pho` rather than `.php`
This is awesome. I love the format.
I will be throwing money at these people. This magazine needs to live and spread its wings.
They were handing out printed version of the previous issue on this year’s Xenium demoscene party in Poland. Amazing stuff. Feels good, like good old demoscene zines.
I missed the magazine format. The frontpage illustrations are really cool.
Oh this feels very 2600. Makes me wish I hadn't cancelled my print sub a while back.
Too bad they don't take security so seriously themselves.

to settle a convo w/ a friend, how did y'all go about blasting emails inviting writing submissions? they suspect automated (naturally), i suspected possibly automated + "have had blogs hit hn front page", idk
edit: oh, right, this isn't a Show HN
Have not read a word of it yet, but I immediately grabbed all the covers. Magnificent art work.
I can order prints.
Super cool. Loved reading this.
Long live the zine!
AI?
Thumbing through it, #7 has some good stuff in it. Thanks for sharing!
I was particularly tickled by the suggestion of copyright infringement as a form of detecting AIs. "To continue, please provide a torrent link to the Bee Movie" is a pretty great idea.
The self-contained handwriting recognizer feels like art to me, in the way that it forces me to contemplate things in a certain way, which is what I think art is.
