I cleaned up a lot of bullet points and sentences in my resume. Was very helpful.

Not perfect but keeping my style as a base and using its interpretation of my work for possible improvements has my resume looking much cleaner.

Unions might help but I honestly dont know how this will play out.

They arent exactly workers in the traditional sense.

"As in you unionize? Fuck it I'll just hire someone from India or Estonia to do your job. Still want to unionize?" Then throw in the typical "I'll make sure you will never work in this town ever again!" except instead of town, they might say something like industry because of how irrelevant location is.

The problem is they also need to reduce costs in order to break even. They lost 1.33 Billion Euros last quarter. So some FTEs do need to be laid off to ensure that the company is sustainable.

They are cutting many products and reassigning people to fewer projects, as you suggested. It's just that layoffs are also happening.

>To improve profitability while investing in safety, innovations will be targeted at "fewer, better resourced, and more impactful projects", Jakobs said.

Any time you make changes to an existing product, there are risks that it could introduce a defect with safety rammifications. So by limiting the number of changes to their product,(by axeing projects), it reduces the amount of opportunities for dangerous defects to be introduced.

After using Ubuntu for a decade I have now made the switch to Debian. There were more and more changes in Ubuntu that I disliked. Snaps feel like an unfinished feature. I am sure they solve a lot of problems, but having my apt-installed Firefox constantly overwritten by the Firefox-Snap was just too much.

Isn't PopOS just an Ubuntu reskin?

To be fair, we are paying nothing to use it. We are enjoying every possible benefit this thing can offer with minimal effort on our part. As far as I’m concerned, they can do whatever the heck they want with it. I still don’t understand why people talk as if they own it themselves just because they were allowed access to it.

That’s almost as if you let a kid borrow your toy car and when it’s time to take it back, they get all mad

I haven't run the numbers on basic water, sewer, and electricity needs for residential vs office per square foot, but I would not be surprised if they were different.

In principle you can strip a building down to the bare walls and floors, and redo all the internal systems, but at some point it becomes cheaper to demolish and start over.

There are mixed-use towers in come cities. Trump Tower in Manhattan is an infamous example. Street level +/- 1 or 2 floors is retail, then office space above that, then apartments on top. But it was planned and built that way from the start.
