Once it happened to me because 6 years prior I'd made a change thinking 'hah. That makes more sense' and then things changed under me and I had to read journalctl in a tty. Low key enjoyed dealing with it. But here's the thing: most ppl are dead at that point. No idea what to do. Arch is for nerds.

Edit: this is a completely different thing. I had two issues.

Iptables change actually fucked me because I'd tweaked something stupid 12 years ago and forgot. Took lime 45-60 mins to fix

Haven't you seen RoboCop? That's like half the plots

Give it a few more years. A browser is a complicated bit of kit!

Well my take on it is pretty 1-dimensional tbh

Would you actually rather die? That seems likely to be an exaggeration but I don't know you.

Right but whilst the thing is easier with better tools, and indeed the process has changed, to me 'automation' of a task refers to its process being reduced to, at best, a daily 30s review. Tools are... Ways of optimising and changing a process. Automation obviates them. It's a personally lexical stand, you can sanely differ.

So when you hit assembly line I was with you. "That* is automation

Well... Automation usually describes process automation and you've just listed tools. So yeah, I agree, people don't think of them as automation. Because, colloquially, they're not.

Yeah but whose money?
