They aren't banning a company from seamlessly integrating their apps with the OS. They are essentially banning companies from preventing the seamless integration of 3rd party apps into the OS. Additionally, this law only applies to major companies.
My residence was the US. I will admit, me working in Argentina on a tourist visa is a grey/black area. My residence to both the US and Argentina government was the US. My visa only allowed me to stay ~3 months.
It's also the companies that use C++ in my market (Embedded, Germany): They are either "old" industries (cars, car-parts, industrial machines, military equipment, embedded stuff) or consultancies working for these companies. Very few of them have any real flexibility nor do they care about their employees' wishes much. I have been looking for a 20h/week remote job (I have 5+ YOE) in this field for a few months and basically all offers were crap in one way or another. Negotiating your contract beyond salary and vacation days is extremely non-standard. Working remote is not a thing - best you can do is work from home, often with clauses allowing them to cancel this agreement any time, or with very weird restrictions around your workplace. There is tons of red tape in every single bigger company. I'm still deciding between two offers, but it is very likely I will leave the C++ Embedded field and work in the python market in the future.
I am at a bit of a loss here. On the one hand these very companies cry publicly about a lack of skilled workers, on the other hand you have to fight hard to get your market price and they will not budge on downright immoral clauses (such as not getting paid for x amount of overtime per week) or remote work.
Sounds like a completely different world from where I work in Cologne. We're having trouble finding good Java developers, so we're basically dropping requirements left and right. We'll even interview people without a resume and we're far more flexible on remote work than we are in the rest of the company.

I've been working as an embedded Linux C++/Qt engineer for 6 years. In the last few years, I have also moved our code onto CI/CD pipelines on Gitlab. I also do a lot of plumbing in Bash, and maintain some smaller projects written in Python and C. I'm available for 20h/week. Native-level German and English.
I've been using Tree Style Tabs for a long time now. The transition was rough, but I never want to go back. Tabs are grouped automatically (you can of course drag/drop them), everything is in trees and branches you can close them as groups and subgroups, reload, favorite a tree, restore a tree, move to new window and so on and so on. It's absolutely amazing.
The transition wasn't rough to me at all. When I finally decided to give it a try it was like seeing the seas part before me. I can legitimately not go back to non tree based desktop browsing.
When they broke almost all existing Addons (some are gone to this day, like Classic Theme Restorer) with the Quantum Update for instance. Or when they decided to ditch Thunderbird for no reason at all. And then sort of undecided.
AIUI, Classic Theme Restorer has become redundant since Quantum brought back the "classic" look anyway. Of course there are many other examples of broken extensions.
I've been using GnuCash for years. It has a great many fantastic features and it has some annoying quirks for sure. I haven't found anything to replace it, but if I could I would. One of the most annoying things: Export account names with Umlauts -> Import them again. Now they are all broken. I have to manually fix the csv file to prevent that and there's never been a fix/devs don't see this as an issue.
