* Automatic Refunds for Cancellations: Airlines want to remove the requirement to provide automatic refunds when flights are cancelled or significantly altered. Passengers may instead receive only vouchers or no compensation at all, leaving them without recourse in the event of a major flight disruption.
* Transparency of Fees: The airlines also aim to strip away rules that require them to disclose all fees (like baggage, seat assignments, and service charges) upfront. Instead of the clear, itemized pricing system that passengers currently rely on, airlines could hide fees until later in the booking process, making the true cost of a ticket much higher than expected.
* Family Seating Guarantees: Under current regulations, airlines must ensure that families with young children are seated together without additional charges. This would no longer be guaranteed under the new proposal, meaning families could face extra costs just to sit next to one another.
* Accessibility Protections for Disabled Passengers: The deregulation proposal also targets protections for disabled passengers, weakening their access to support and assistance during air travel.

Basically half of flights I've ever booked have had a cancellation. Usually the airline customer service had to rebook a new itinerary for the same purpose, but once in the past year they had to issue a refund because all possible routes went through DFW and they had lightning, which they have all the time.
It's absolutely ridiculous to even suggest that you should be able to take someone's money and not render services. That's a fundamental part of commerce.
Yeah; I wonder if this is going to lead to chargebacks.
I wonder if there are any anti-retaliation provisions, or if they’ll just have a special no-fly list for people they sold non-existent flights to, and that refused to pay up.
They'll add a footnote explaining that the term "flight" should be understood as a non-refundable ticket in a transport lottery. Similarly to how most sales of entertainment now are providing you with a revokable license to access it, rather than a reusable copy in your possession.
>Basically half of flights I've ever booked have had a cancellation.
You would seem to be a very unlucky person. My record is somewhere in the low single digits. Obviously, my percentage of flights with some delays has been somewhat higher.
There is not coverage beyond one adult already in the US. With an additional adult and one child, the airlines already adds in fees. It’s also non-transparent when booking that they have made sure the easy path is the charged path, especially now that airlines make you pay to guarantee being seated together prior to flight checkin 24 hours in advance of takeoff.

Capitalist money-making idea: guarantee young children are seated as far away as possible from their parents if the fee is not paid, then offer to collect the fee from other passengers seated next to the child. Double the cost if it's a baby.
Do not promote or use NextDNS, it's essentially abandoned. You will not get any support from the developer when something breaks, and it will break. I tried for a year to contact him before abandoning it. Just check the help forums.
Considering this is a post from NextDNS themselves, showing off a NEW and awesome feature.... It doesn't seem abandoned? You don't seem to have even looked at the description lol
Congratulations to them, I suppose. They've temporarily returned after stealing money from me. Their service stopped working after renewing my annual subscription and when I went to try and find support, I got silence.
If you're one of the lucky few who's never had issues with NextDNS, I'm happy for you.
I looked at this search and for the record, there are records from years ago, and nothing recently. Out of 58 posts, only 5 of them (approx) seem to be from the last year. I see random comments on some threads "asking" for a refund, but this isn't like a support ticket system, as far as I can see? I'm sorry you had a bad experience, but I'm not sure that this link is indicative of anything.
I've used nextDNS for years but the past few weeks its been breaking websites left, right and centre so I gave up on it entirely. Everything feels much snappier since I dropped them for a different option too
You definitely want to be following yokoffing's NextDNS Configuration Guide [1] to set it up. You basically only want to be using one of the Hagezi blocklists [2] and a possibly a few other options based on your preferences.
I have it running on every device in my household and it works absolutely fine. I keep it on Hagezi Pro++, and that requires me to go through and whitelist some sites I use. That can be annoying, so in that case Hagezi Light or Normal should work just fine to block ads/trackers and not break things you have to go in and manually fix.
OTOH, Control D offers free DNS [3] that includes using the Hagezi blocklists and other lists, but it's just a set and forget type setup as you can't look at log files to see if it's blocking stuff you don't want or anything like that. Scroll down to "3rd Party Filters" to see their offerings.
It would appear that you are not familiar with its proper use. You can identify which rule is causing the issue by reviewing the log, and then add it to your allowlist.
Your emails might be hitting their spam, this happens with my companies support address too so sometimes it will prevent a ticket from even being created
It shouldn’t be allowed to respond with false information about a person being a child molester, and be unable to be corrected. If that’s not possible then it shouldn’t be legal.
It’s a bit like proposing to ban cars if someone drives one into a pedestrian isn’t it?
LLMs are computer programs, tools. They’re not sentient, they don’t know what’s true or false. The error is entirely the human who chooses to put more than trivial weight into its output.
Reminds me of the “talking to God” program in TempleOS. We are all Terry now.
OK, fine, we can solve this with the informational equivalent of the Proposition 65 notice: "this content is the result of an LLM. It may contain falsehoods or libels. You are prohibited from relying on this information, and if you republish it you assume liability for any falsehoods".
(remember the Java license clause about not using it for nuclear reactors?)
Maybe we need a Data Protection Act adjustment: before using an LLM, the individual entering the prompt needs to be registered as a data controller, and needs to secure the consent of all individuals whose names appear in the LLM data?
That comparison doesn’t fit the situation: Microsoft is liable for their LLMs just like they’re liable for their corporate vehicles. If their company cars crash into pedestrians they don’t get to say “oh, that just happens sometimes” and shrug it off.
I love the inclusion of DNS here, as that was a major pain point on version 5. Currently on MacOS you can only use a single network filter, which Little Snitch is, so you couldn't use an encrypted DNS service easily in addition to Little Snitch. This made it an instant purchase for me (and it works).
I like to leave my phone at home, and I load all sorts of content on to my Apple Watch. For me it is practical to have a lot of my favorite music permanently on my watch, then podcast and audio books are transient. If you have an Apple Watch, give it a try.
It's very pretty, and the demo is very fast. Is there series tracking to continue watching to pick up where you left off? It doesn't seem like there is on the demo.
My only concern is that your screenshots on the github include copyrighted movies. I know that unlike popcorn time (or whatever the name was), it's only a player and not a way to download things, but maybe change them out for your copyright-free movies on the demo? I'd hate to lose another project to overzealous copyright enforcement.
There is a series tracking (which can be autosynced to simkl if you want) but you need to login to use it. Since the demo allow you to access everything as a guest without account you probably missed it.
The screenshots are pushed on a secondary branch, so I can remove them completely without rewriting the git history. Thanks for worrying <3
