The purpose of unions is to make sure the employees work is sustainable, easier, pleasant if possible. On a more practical level this means enforcing work regulations, if an employer is at risk of breaking regulations (intentionally or not)

It makes a positive difference for the employees. You seem to imply that this is correlated to a negative difference for the employer, which is completely wrong.

The first church in the article (second after the banner picture), "Santa Maria Immacolata"[0] has an important historical meaning. It is located in the village of Longarone, which was completely wiped out in 1963 due to the disas

I was expecting some comment on the fact that man pages, a point of pride for the BSDs, are not included by default in Alpine. That's one of the reasons that kept me from using it on my travel laptop (now running OpenBSD). Alpine users

They have it for food, but not for beer. They have a large variety and they change the selection often (that's why I like the pub). I would really prefer a physical menu, but I understand them to an extent.
