What is the exact problem you are trying to solve?
Like do you have to get up at a certain time and find yourself staying up too late so getting little sleep? Or is it something else, like you can get up kind of whenever but the sleep isn't refreshing?
One would be allowed but I can already envision the Fox news freakout if this was about Trump instead
Yep, I remember those, but a key difference is those weren't for sale in a chain store and limited to some niche sites
Are there really many Amish people living there? That always seemed more US and Canadian

In journalism, yellow journalism and the yellow press are American newspapers that use eye-catching headlines and sensationalized exaggerations for increased sales.
I'll reply to both of you here. Luxembourg isn't quite a microstate by most definitions but is indeed small.
On the public transit, the free is very nice, the mediocre service is less nice. Other less nice things is that they are focusing on building more roads and less on better public transit networks(tram extension is nice though), so I rank it as moderately good in that sense when compared to other countries and their public transit networks and mobility plans.
As for why it isn't going full renewable there are a few reasons and could probably go into much more depth but only 1/4 of workers in Luxembourg have nationality there, the others are a mix of cross border workers(France, Belgium, and Germany), EU citizens who moved there, and 3rd country nationals. Only citizens of Luxembourg can vote for the government(EU citizens can vote for EU parliament and all can vote for municipal elections) and they tend to be a bit more conservative. Additionally land is super expensive so that is a barrier to renewables. What I will say though is there is an increase in it with a goal to hit 35% renewable by 2030 and there are quite a few wind turbines but, I would doubt it will get hit with the CSV being the primary party in government at the moment.
“In particular, people who receive such material involuntarily — for example in the context of a WhatsApp parents’ group — risk a minimum sentence of one year,” Buschmann said in a statement. The same, he added, also applies “in the case of teachers who have discovered child pornographic material on students’ cellphones and have forwarded it to alert the affected parents.”
So seems less like they have an excess of CP and more like they have a poorly worded law that allows prosecution of people who aren't the actual problem. Though teachers forwarding it to parents is a bit weird
Just because it is in your contract doesn't make it legal!
Realistically it could be worth checking your local laws regarding it and potentially speaking to a lawyer as some will do a free consult to see if you have a case
To start with I'll answer your specific questions
Would working in helpdesk allow a better or worse WLB? This is very company dependent. In general though developers are usually able to clock out more often at the end of the day. If you go SysAdmin/DevOps/SRE when things break in the night it is you who gets the call. Again this varies wildly between companies, I'm in a DevOps/SRE role and have had that at 3 different places, one there was zero after hours calls, one was multiple times a week, and one was once or twice every quarter. So keep that in mind.
Would it be more likely to be unionized and thus a better place from which to participate in tech labour struggle?
Tech really isn't unionized much. Helpdesk while often the seemingly most likely to unionize has the issue of people move up and out quickly and tech workers in general can move to new companies if they don't like something and that is often easier than unionizing. To also echo @Kamaradski9000@lemmygrad.ml the leftists on the more infra side are few and far between. It draws a lot of loners and reactionary people, the musk fanboy types.
Is it easier to break into than software, like, so much easier that it would be worth changing course, or just doing IT as a stepping stone for my first co-op (internship program in Canada) or two? It is easier in the sense that helpdesk is a grind(they call it helldesk for a reason) and places are always hiring. Pay will be terrible and you'll be grinding some boring work unless you put in extra hours to move up and show you know stuff, or at least that is the general path. Lucking out into a SysAdmin role or a role doing interesting work is about the same difficulty as breaking into a software development role. There are usually less positions on the infra side, but also less people doing it.
As for my advice, you are still in school so keep learning. Use this time to try some new things to figure out what you'd enjoy more. Both roles are in demand and can have comfortable salaries. If you are thinking about linux and sysadmin work try standing up a small web server on one of the cheap cloud providers and see what it is like, then automate it. Once you've done that maybe play with some docker containers. As for an internship I'd suggest sticking with software development as it is more in line with your degree for the time being, if you are doing multiple internships(like one each year) then maybe consider looking for a more infra focused one if you don't enjoy the development side
Yes, the brand Tupperware is an mlm and sold directly by sales people. Back in the 50s and 60s Tupperware parties were a thing.
The confusion is likely the whole q-tip/Kleenex thing. We call it all Tupperware but really it is not Tupperware brand most of the time
