Fair-use limitations were always there. It sounds like they weren't actively enforcing it, but now they are because of some problem users. I don't think anything has changed for you unless you're one of the users this refers

If the price of cheese was the only factor then I’m sure practices would have changed. But people will pay a premium for what they perceive as a premium product, so practices like this just add to the ‘experience’. The watch on my arm is (m

This wasn’t a new role, I’d been working at the business for about 18 months by that point. It doesn’t sound like what you describe at all. I believed in what we were doing. I’d built a new game engine for the Dreamcast (the only nextgen co

Don’t be so black-and-white about no-pay, no-work. It’s entirely situational and you need to assess how this could work for you. There could be upsides to hanging in there. My anecdote: During my second job in the games industry, in London,

It hasn’t. Europe is still functioning perfectly well. Let’s not start echoing far right talking points. Immigration is a topic that should be approached with measured language. Terms like ‘decimated’ is not helpful.

I think that’s a fair comment. The only reason why I was not entirely convinced that that would be the case is that tariffs seem to be one of the positions that Trump was truly ideologically bound to. I couldn’t tell whether he would really

Not really, if the whole world sinks into an economic depression then the percentages won’t matter much. What will matter is the starting position and whether the country’s economy has enough headroom to ride it out. It doesn’t. Because of
