Amazon moving many roles out of North America and into India.
This really happening? What sort of roles are they moving?
5-8% of their staff every year
I'm aware of this policy but I didn't realise the number was that large.
This sounds plausible. I have seen a few guides for headless use suggesting disabling the built-in remote desktop feature and setting up xrdp, xvnc or related and then trying to fixup that session.
My guess is that something related to the headless setup you had changed during upgrade - likely some package got obsoleted and removed. Then you got some default behaviour from the replacement package along with the rest of the setup.
If you don't get the help needed to resolve this here, you should also post in askubuntu.com.
Get out with this noise. This is the same nonsense as "just install Linux" to a person with a Windows problem.

Why do they want to get rid of people?
Oh they'll complain no doubt but I can much more easily sell to my average intelligent relatives that they'll be able to get to work without a car or go visit the extended family in Montreal without driving or flying. The cons line will be "too much spending" which only works if there's nothing to show for it. If most people are getting or expecting to get something (e.g. EVs for drivers, transit for the rest of us) that argument goes limp.
And this is why I went down this hypothetical. Perhaps doing transit subsidies and buildouts, heavy EV subsidies would be something most would see and understand. And I'm talking about heavy subsidies, not something I significant that's not noticeable.

Rental prices rose 0.9 per cent in May from the previous month. That brought the yearly pace of rent increases up to 8.9 per cent, with rent being the second-largest annual contributor to inflation.
Mortgage interest costs slowed very slightly to 0.8 per cent in May from April, and brought the annual pace of increases to 23.3 per cent.
Yeah, that's a constant. I was wondering if there's more to it. :D
