Trump vows to deport millions. Builders say it would drain their crews and drive up home costs.
  • Thank you for what you do, it's absolutely necessary and we need people like you. I wouldn't for a moment say it's not worth doing.

    I don't blame them for not wanting to do construction. I ran fiber optic cable on poles, underground, into buildings for a long time. Not quite construction, but also not easy work. Pay was terrible, I was young, and they took advantage of me. for almost 10 years. I've roofed, I've framed, I've been a programmer, I've been a network engineer. ALL of those jobs were basically the same in that regard, decent pay sure... But the hours required, the recovery I had to go through. Nothing is worth that. I'm sad that I took this long to figure that out, I missed a lot of good times with my kiddo. I can never get that back.

    That's the same thing that's happening to all of us at this point. There's NO reason there isn't enough money in the pipeline to get things built that need to be built, paying people a wage that they can live on, and without eating nearly all of their time 'off' work. If you have to take so much time to recover that you feel like it eats into your personal job, your work life balance is way out of wack.

    I don't want to sound like I think your career isn't valid, or isn't important. Every single person that's a part of making our lives work deserves to get paid well. No matter their job. There are so many resources available to the world we could all have better lives, but then a small group of slime would have fewer 0's in their bank account. Otherwise, they wouldn't even notice.

    To speak to the other side, there are a number of people that thrive in that environment. My dad was one of them. He's at the end of his life, dying of Parkinson's and now seeing the relationship I have with my kiddo. I can see the pain in his face. He wants to have had that with me, but decided that money was more important. He's going to die a multi millionaire, I hope those dollars comfort him.

    That took a turn, I'm sorry. But it feels good to get out so I'm leaving it.

  • Trump vows to deport millions. Builders say it would drain their crews and drive up home costs.
  • You see that none of that is a good thing right?

    I don't want to work a job that destroys my work life balance for any pay. Doesn't matter how much. Nobody should have to give up their life for money.

    Young people are more likely to want to take care of themselves and not have the toxic mindset you and I were brought up with. They aren't just taking it on the chin, or putting in their time, or whatever bullshit platitudes my generation and older like to sling at young workers or those not willing to eat shit for peanuts.

    You are just perpetuating that toxic mindset, in servitude of the moneyed class.

  • Nobara Sound Delay, could us a push in the right direction
  • Both, I miss the first bit of audio, and when it plays it's not synced to video in video sources.

    Its not just in Firefox, even the startup sound is being truncated.

    Any music player as well, first bit of audio is gone and it plays approximately the same little bit of time after I stop playing.

    EDIT : Appreciate all the input, never did figure out what the cause was.... Somewhere in booting between two kernels it just .. stopped being a pain in the ass .... Not my favorite type of resolution

    Two weeks ago, I did some updates on my nobara desktop and ever since I've had a significant delay in any audio playing.

    I've been poking at it with no luck, and am just out of ideas. Logs don't show anything worrying, running pulse audio in debug looks fine, tried reinstalling packages, tried some tweaks i found online and nothing seems to work.

    Rebooting into live environments from USB shows the sound working fine so decent chance the hardware is ok.

    Been administrating headless *nix systems since the 90s, finally decided to try on the desktop now that I don't have to use Windows, and .. struggling with this.
