I was on sick leave after having surgery when I was dismissed from Rockstar Games in a 2 minute phone call.
No warning. No evidence. No chance to respond.
In 2 minutes I lost my job, forcing Steph to quit hers, our home, our community, and most importantly, our dogs.

Where's my fucking open-source image editing tool that actually competes with Photoshop? Where's my Wayland compositor that genuinely doesn't suck? Where's my fix for every NVidia driver problem on Linux? You keep saying how great these tools are then making nothing good with them!
