Should have been done a long time ago. Some of us have been advocating for fedi participation from higher learning institutions everywhere in the EU. We now have a golden opportunity to abandon for profit social media that will enshitify without fail and embrace the fediverse.
Now start pulling the rope, who gives mandate to the CEO? Who controls the mandate? Do they also influence legislation?
Believing the CEOs are the problem and not just another abstraction layer so the real responsibility doesn't fall squarely on the neo nobility is the mark of the failure of the left. It's like herding sheep and hearing the bleating hatred for the Shepherd dog.
A public company will 99,9% of the time be shit, that's why you need strong worker protection enshrined in legislation. The fact that all the downvoters didn't get the subtext is one of the reasons you got to this situation in the first place. The average literacy in the US is godawful and the political process only works in easily digestible soundbites, so complex themes like worker protection get relegated to the back seat in favour of who uses which bathroom.
Good on you, give them hell and good luck with the cheeto in chief. If you need to run, you'll always have a home this side of the ocean.
Regarding the "different types of workers", a CEO is still a worker. Smart people know the difference between those that take advantage of legislation vs those who suffer from it. This type of absolute dogmatic purism is what got your laws to be shit in the first place.
Is it illegal though? Perhaps start there, with worker protection law. Everyone is happy to help the dudebros exploit the working class as long as line goes up.
Edit: Lol, 1s, immediate downvote. If only you were as assiduously fighting the exploitation...
They have WFH and make 6 figures per year. Explain to me why it's surprising the company converted it to WFH. You take the perks with the disadvantages they entail, unless, we're supposed to be angry with tiktok and don't really care for the workers 🤔
If it sounds bad and it's not illegal, the problem isn't tik tok!
I find this comment amusing because other than Vagrant Story needing 1h to access the memory card, I think modern QoL has destroyed the fun and community in video games. Exhibit 1: the souls series. Not only did it introduce actual difficulty (not HP bar go brrrrr) in a world where it was gone it also had obtuse storytelling and a lot of missable content. It has resulted in one of the best franchises of the last 10y and a strong community that produces lore and discussion content to this day.
The main issue is in surveys of people who identify as "gamers", your farmville enjoyer also considers itself a gamer, so AAA studios started to produce games to an audience that didn't exist. Now the laid off development teams are paying the bill.
There should be more games like Outward, Valheim etc. Fun games that eschewed QoL that should have never existed like map click fast travel anywhere.
Several people who have worked for Naughty Dog say Druckmann and Straley stopped seeing eye-to-eye with Hennig, and that they had fundamental disagreements on where to take the Uncharted series. When Hennig left, she signed a non-disparagement agreement with the studio that would prevent both her and Naughty Dog from making negative public comments about what had happened, according to people familiar with the arrangement.
From "blood, sweat and pixels" which I own. I guess Schreier is also an unreliable source...
You reply like the typical reddit chud:
Find something to latch on to, ignore the wider message, ad hominem, leave feeling victorious. Use vote manipulation to feel good about their chud selves with fake internet points.
At the end of the day, Mr woke Druckman doesn't care for equality, if he did, he wouldn't hire slavers.
ADHD is overdiagnosed the same way Oxy was overprescribed. The incentives are there to have entire generations depend on highly physically addictive substances that will guarantee a consistent stream of income. ADHD is a real disease, a significant portion of people diagnosed with it, don't have it. That is ALSO happening in the US but it's prevalent in western pedopsychiatry.
This completely ignores the part where one does literature search, NCBI, check if it's open access and ONLY THEN, resorts to sci-hub. There's a myriad of opportunities to verify the paper has been retracted. It's a non issue.
ADHD is an extremely profitable diagnostic that has the particularity of some unpleasant withdrawal symptoms once patients stop microdosing on extremely expensive formulations of meth.
DEI for Americans but not if you're from overseas. Only US BIPOC count, the rest are shithole fodder.
Tax credits from WOTC are quite steep and consultancy can be offset in the R&D tax credit. That's before mentioning local state incentives.
Typical US companies playing dirty and acting high and mighty. Neoliberalism at its best! And, ofc, the useful idiots that believe in the myth of US exceptionalism being terminally offended at reality checks.
Studios are subcontracting so much shit nowadays that I'm more interested in seeing what comes out of non AAA outfits than anything else. US games are mostly shit presently, the lion's share of the work is done by low income workers and the peeps stateside get all the money and easy well paid consultant gigs and just enough to cash in on the DEI state subsidies and gov support. It's absolutely 0 surprise the games are shit, it's basically sweatshop game making. The funny part is Neil Druckman playing the saviour super woke evolved writer (after stepping on Hennig) but then subcontracts sweatshop work to make his assets. You couldn't make this shit up.
Finally!
