Per the cited study, it's not harder now to get published as a white man. It's hard, but it was always hard. Devote yourself to your craft. It's actually easier now, per actual data.
The underlying assumption to all this whining is that literary recognition belonged to white men, and has been taken

And again, the problem isn't that white men are having trouble getting published now. They're more published than ever.
The problem is, it's harder for them to be celebrated for it now.
The problem was there at the start of the article that set me off. The problem is the applause.

There is a false but very popular supremacist belief that diversity pushes out what was there already.
And a whole cottage industry, much of it positioning itself as "centrist," that is devoting to pushing this narrative, based on the fact that other voices exist, and that this is a problem.

The idea is that white men today are unnaturally paying for the sins of the past. But the truth is that white men of the past, who faced an unnaturally cleared field, didn't have to pay natural costs of their present.
White men now have to compete with diverse voices. Nothing's been taken.

The lessons to take from this:
1) If you're in the US, leverage that legal protection to say these things for your UK friends who can't!
2) Stop fucking giving Head Bigot JK Rowling money to finance legal terrorism against people who identify raging bigots as raging bigots.

This is because for every dollar you spend on Harry Potter media or merchandise, a large portion of it goes to Head Bigot JK Rowling, who specifically uses that money to finance her fellow raging bigots threatening ruinous lawsuits against UK people who point out their raging bigotry.

Totally freaking normal.
"Manufacturers of aeroderivative turbines — which are based on or made from jet engines — and diesel generators have reported increased demand because of data centres seeking to bypass the grid as they wait for larger gas turbines."
Data centres turn to aircraft engines to avoid grid connection delays
Supply chain shortages drive developers to use smaller and less efficient power sources to fuel AI power demand
