I think they made a mistake disallowing single user upgrading to paid plan.
Non-corporate users will migrate to Discord, Slack will cut resources costs = more money without new users. Everyone happy, just allow us to export data ;)
It seems that current LTS relase needs more bug and glitches fixing, quality is worse than before :-( It's not just snaps, also software center have it's problems (crashing, glitches/lags in listing and installing apps, driver detection problems). I used Ubuntu for many years, it's normal that some relases are more polished that other. Overally great OS and it's "free". Let's hope they will fix it. I used error reporting functionality and also donated to Ubuntu.
On PS4 Netflix app you can check "live stats for nerds" like resolution and bitrate pressing a single button ("option" AFAIR). It's not much fun but doesn't cost as much time and $$$ No screenshot thou :-(
I understand your volunteer work goal may be to "use a math / CS skill-set to impact my community in a positive way". There are many ways you can use your skills. For example, you could start participating in a well established and valuable open-source project or take a part in hackathons solving big problems, you could organize workshops, teach people. Anything you do, remember to balance your volunteer work with other parts of life and career.
Why we are going to the office? In most cases I saw it's because management wants to have more control, more performance and possibility to change our environment in any moment. Also most of the employers want us to work same amount of time daily and for all of the week. If it changes it will only if goverment will change the law or something big happens. It is simply more profitable for employers and they have upper hand for most of the people.
Upwork is partially automated. They probably use market position to manipulate users. I had some bad experience and no communication also. When you register account, Upwork "moderates" your profile and "decides" if you can start to work with clients. They have some kind of automated moderation with percentage pass value. It's not working great. If you aren't using in your resume a lot of words that they think are marketable you will be banned as not being eligible for working with Upwork. They will send you e-mail with misguiding information that you aren't good fit for them in nice words and that you can reapply in the future. Reality is that some bad data processing took place. For many people reading such type of e-mail that they send can be offending (if not depressing in cases when they didn't get what happened). In my case I just added some more keywords and tags because I was almost sure what happened and resubmitted profile. After a couple of hours my account was Up and Working ;) No sorry or any other information from them - not a nice way of starting bussiness with a client.
I belive it's a clickbait article or the author doesn't really tried to understand benefits of getting up early. How can it serve capitalism if someone uses first hours of the day for himself not employer.
