Affiche du STJV pour le 1er mai. En haut, sur fond rouge : 1er mai, journée internationale des travailleur·ses. En bas, sur fond rouge : rappel des réseaux sociaux du STJV, logo STJV et QR code renvoyant vers le site du STJV. Au milieu, sur fond noir dans une zone façon papier déchiré : On fabrique, on produit, on décide ! À côté, le personnage de jeu vidéo Luigi prend la pose et fait des doigts pistolets en direction de la personne qui regarde l'image.

🏴🚩Jeudi prochain c'est la journée internationale des travailleur·ses.

L'occasion de rappeler que, dans le jeu vidéo ou ailleurs, ce sont les travailleur·ses qui produisent et qui connaissent leur travail, et donc ce sont les travailleur·ses qui doivent décider de ce qui est produit et comment !

I love these silicon valley bros that think ChatGPT has achieved some kind of sentience and therefore might have rights.

Like dudes, you don't even think poor people deserve rights, let's try to achieve that before giving person-hood to the autocomplete algorithm.

Pete Hegseth installed a make-up station at the Pentagon.

JD Vance loves a smoky dark eyeliner.

Trump cakes on orange base till he resembles an Oompa Loompa.

And these guys say LGBTQs are threatening gender norms?

I see it. I have lived it. 83 years ago, the U.S. government turned upon a group of its own citizens and residents and sent them to internment camps without due process. I was there among them. American fascism is back. It is here. It is now.

Israël va étendre son offensive «dans la plus grande partie» de la bande de Gaza (ministre de la Défense) Une déclaration du ministre de la Défense, Israël Katz, qui annonçait un peu plus tôt que l'armée israélienne avait achevé de prendre le contrôle de l'axe-clé de Morag, entre les villes de Rafah et de...

Le projet est assez clair comme ça ou on va continuer à pinailler sur les mots et à parler de droit de se défendre ?

Indeed, management opened up with a step back on ongoing negotiations for French-wide structures.

They heralded fulfilling legal obligations that should already be there as progress.

When union representatives brought up remote work, management dodged the issue, arguing that it was not in their purview. Management has lost all credibility by now, if they really wanted to prove that they want to change their ways, they had the perfect occasion here by cancelling their forcing through those changes. That was a miss from them. More worrying still, the agenda management presented for negotiations is very short, seeing how many topics there are.

Being light-years away from the much touted "founding act", management took no step towards a healthier social climate, and instead showed that they are still willing to force their decisions through, as well as their disdain for the efforts and the engagement of employee representatives.

"Social consultation" is the name management gave to the slew of regressions they presented
to union representatives. The truth can be found in our inter-union release 👇

There's no "controversy" over The Witcher 4, it's just gotten picked up in what is now a cottage industry of YouTube-based outrage content farming by people who have zero actual investment in or understanding of the things they cover multiple times a day, every day

Maybe instead of making fun of the Blue Lock animation we can finally have a serious conversation about underpaid and overworked animation artists, studios that fire workers for their own profit, and how the pushed ai greed with will only get worse

I started a new project at work almost a month ago, after a long time with not much to do. It sometimes feel like the simplest thing is overwhelming, but when I actually get to it, things slide back into place.
Now if my brain would please not full panic everytime that'd be great! #gamedev

we're seeing tons of layoffs, closures, and cancellations, at every scale, even at older, theoretically-stable studios, or for games making good development progress.

why? what's everyone scared of, really? games are still making tons of cash.

well... (unknown length thread incoming)
