Exactly. So many jobs in my early 20s where I’d work my ass off, get thrown into a manager position, gain substantially more responsibilities, and then end up making less money than half the staff a year later.

Currently at the office on a Monday morning after they fired they guy above me a few months back and are now expecting me to not only do my job but his job as well. They raised my pay by $1 an hour, by the way. Jokes on them because I’m putting in exactly as much effort as one should while expected to do two peoples jobs for low pay and it’s not that much work at all.

I’m so tired of rich white people telling me I don’t work hard enough as I literally work my life away. I’m sure basically everyone that reads this comment has worked more in the last 5 years than these people have worked in their entire lives.

It’s probably a big reason they are trying to unionize before the release of GTA VI. It wouldn’t be the first time a company fired half the dev team post launch so they didn’t have to pay out bonuses. It’s actually incredibly common. It only takes a fraction of the dev team to maintain the game post launch vs actual development and CEOs fully take advantage of this.

Thanks!

It was a pricing issue when I was 12 and didn’t have a job. It’s a service issue when I’m almost 30 and I want to buy it but you won’t let me or you make it more complicated than piracy.

With video games I haven’t pirated a game in years because Steam and GOG make it (relatively) painless and most of the issues that arise are not even Steam’s fault and are usually the big developers delisting games or ending support.

Movies and shows? I’d have to do research to figure out who currently has the rights to the media and pick my streaming platform accordingly. Hell, some shows and movies series’ are split between different streaming services altogether. If I decide to watch said show on a PC they’ll lower the quality to 720p and I can’t change it. If I want to watch something on the go it’ll get blocked half the time even if I have it pre-downloaded on my phone. And if I want to “buy” it I have to figure which services are selling it and even than it will restrict how I can watch it. And now we have to worry about you removing things that we paid for from our libraries? Go fuck yourself. Even if Steam delists a game from their store you can still play it if it’s in your library.

I would but it’s a work computer and it’s out of my hands. I’ve already tried running mint on one of them and about 70% of the software we use doesn’t even remotely work.

Anyone have a link to a guide on how to remove Copilot as much as you can? It keeps showing up on my computer at work and I’m so sick of it.
