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.

I would expect my employer to work with me and compensate me adequately for my skill level and work done.

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.

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.

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.

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.
