From the video description:

Back in October, Rockstar Games fired 34 employees for alleged gross misconduct.

The severity of these firings could have spelled the end for a burgeoning union effort that was underway, but it didn't.

In fact, the union is now bigger than it's ever been. How did that happen? And what comes next?

It's pretty much single player Genshin!

From a Steam review:

The gear crafting, guild system, and hunts remind me of Monster Hunter, the exploration and questing remind me of MMOs like FF14, the puzzles remind me of Crimson Desert super easy mode, the team combat is a bit of Granblue or Dragons Dogma 2 on super speed, and the truly open colorful world and towers remind me of Zelda. It's grindy, but in a good way, because progression feels rewarded by gameplay - every currency you need you get by playing - and there is actually a ton of depth with your team synergies, equipment bonus set stacking, skill combos, and more. You can team up with your friends and loved ones in raids and dungeons, or just farm for the specific stuff you want yourself in between the main quest lines. There is also mount and pet collecting, cooking, mini games, and a lot of stuff to do for the low price. It really does feel like an offline fully open world MMO. The graphics, animations, and general style are all also over the top pretty and extremely well done.

Square Enix confirmed that the team is hard at work on XII but due to a reshuffle and restart of development, it will be a bit longer before you will be able to play it. After hitting hurdles during development, it was restarted from scratch.

... This is going to be a bit long winded, so I'll do a TL:DR version: If you enjoy Michael's stories, and you like Tim's narration, and if you use Audible.com - you may want to take immediate action. Go to your Audible library and make sure that every single title is currently in it. If not, either buy credits, use credits, or purchase any missing titles for cash before the end of the year. If you do - they should be yours to listen to whenever you want. If not, you may loose access to them for a long, long time.

I should note that the above statement ONLY applies to the Tim Gerard Reynolds versions. It is not an issue for Graphic Audio full cast recordings (at least I don't think so). ...

"Until this past weekend, a contractor for the Cybersecurity & Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) maintained a public GitHub repository that exposed credentials to several highly privileged AWS GovCloud accounts and a large number of internal CISA systems. Security experts said the public archive included files detailing how CISA builds, tests and deploys software internally, and that it represents one of the most egregious government data leaks in recent history." ...

Pretty standard no-knead recipe. This time though I replaced half the water with Erdinger alcohol free beer and rubbed some butter into the flour for a softer crust.

AI-based assistants or “agents” — autonomous programs that have access to the user’s computer, files, online services and can automate virtually any task — are growing in popularity with developers and IT workers. But as so many eyebrow-raising headlines over the past few weeks have shown, these powerful and assertive new tools are rapidly shifting the security priorities for organizations, while blurring the lines between data and code, trusted co-worker and insider threat, ninja hacker and novice code jockey...
