Last year, anyone that had the base tier office 365 got automigrated for the tier including copilot. No one in my circle uses 365 anymore after that, I bought office LTSC 2024 licenses for all on the grey market and Microslop just lost thousands of € yearly in revenue. It’s my contribution in the war against Microslop.

Yes, at least in Europe they did. Went from 59€/y to 99€/y

Microslop and automigration to the copilot containing 365 sub rather than the default lower priced sub.

The overwhelming majority of the EU population works in services industries, whereas we lack specialized tradespeople like construction specialists. If forced to choose, I’d rather see that UBI go to them to support an early retirement plan for those underapreciated classes that have physically demanding work. Anyone can be an artist, especially if we don’t need to have two jobs to make rent.

I wasn’t implying journalism is art, I’m implying no government is going to give you the tools to depose them.

Regarding “ARTISTS”, let’s see how many of the supported artists actually develop a craft rather than just producing content.

Either UBI for everyone or UBI for no one. Lest we forget, money for this comes from of decades of collaboration in European tax avoidance by greedy multinational corporations to avoid paying their fair share in the other EU countries they operate in.

Otherwise, UBI is a great idea.

edit: “-excludes for example journalism or books for educational purposes, for example: textbooks, technical manuals, writing created for advertising or publicity purposes.”

Yeah, you wouldn’t want journalism or education to be freely accessible as an ocupation… This has to be the most ridiculous ubi experiment in the last decade.
