I wonder how much of the US problems stemmed from unionized labor pushing against extreme automation (dark factory).

There's no doubt companies got complacent but I imagine foreign manufacturers are abliged contractually bound to employee American folks in their plants.

What is a union supposed to do when your entire industry is in a "adopt (by accepting automation) or die" situation?

I'm all for worker protection and rights but how else do you compete in this landscape?

I appreciate the sentiment that tomorrow will come and that as long as there's the will-power to live and as long as the ecosystem still exists that we will be 'alright'. But ...

The message sits wrong with me...Because as someone who hasn't been treated for far too long, it bit me in the most unexpected time. Mostly everything else was okay, professionally I was doing great (even throughout troubling times) but socially I was stunted as a high schooler. I had to put myself aside to get to a stable situation. Work and study for work was basically my life.

I slept on my problems and eventually forgot all about them. And now that I want to make social bonds, I can see how much of a mess I really am.

Ignorance was truly blissful.

I'm Asian. If I do anything well in life it's because of privilege not because I worked 2 jobs while attending community college schooling and doing nothing else for myself other than to be at a better place. My effort feels completely and utterly dismissed by some of these people. They refuse to acknowledge my effort at all and instead they keep trying to dig deeper to find reasons why I'm "privileged".

My laptop refuses to stay asleep if fstab disks were disconnected prior to sleeping. It works perfectly fine for me now that I figured that out.

Just one more weird behavior with fstab and kde or Linux or arch? I don't know who to blame.

Haven't messed with the fan curves yet but I just did the liquid metal to PTM 7950 replacement.

It made a dramatic difference. Fan ramps up very gradually now and it hasn't ever ramped up wildly like it used to.
