  • Depends what you’re after, really. If you want absolutely no extras, economy at budget airline is probably fine.

    I’ve flown enough to prefer the “normal” airlines for what is included: yes, I need to bring a carry-on. And yes, I have checked luggage in addition to that. Sometimes several. And some of them are often heavy as fuck. No extra charge at a normal airline.

    At a budget airline, anything beyond getting you and only you from A to B is an extra, and extra services carry a cost. And I absolutely detest the paperwork involved in filing an expense claim.

    Also, when I’m flying, I’m either flying to work and want to arrive well rested, or I’m finally on my way home and can finally unwind. For these reasons I prefer to chill in a lounge during my connection, and/or upgrade to business class on the longer flights. Budget airlines usually don’t have any of those as an option.

    As far as I can recall, I haven’t been left to fend for myself by a budget airline delay cancelation, at least not to a significant degree. But whenever something unexpected happens with the normal airline happens it seems they always have a good routine in place to make sure everything is taken care of, including rebooking, sorting out any connection complications, overnight stay at a proper hotel. Previous time this happened I got to pick any flight the following day that worked with my schedule, as opposed to being shoved into an early and really inconvenient one.












  • The most serious charges, racketeering and sex trafficking, are a lot harder to prove in court.

    For the example of racketeering, it has to be proven without a doubt that the parties (Diddy and henchman) were both knowingly committing crimes. In this particular case it was hard to produce evidence of the henchmen doing anything more than following instructions which in themselves were not of a criminal nature.

    Fuck him, though. Even though he did not get the verdict we all know he deserves, nobody would want the toxicity of working or associating with him again. Well, maybe Kanye.


  • No. I am convinced that dreams are brain training towards scenarios that may or may not become relevant one day.

    Last night I dreamt about being at an airport, unsure about where and when my connecting flight was. Surprisingly realistic, considering how often I fly, but unrealistic in the sense that I always know this beforehand and always carry with me a small paper note listing the following:

    • Flight number
    • When
    • From-To
    • Estimated landing time
    • Booking code






  • I think the only “required” one on your list is Instance: It’s one out of many servers. Lemmy.world, sh.itjust.works, etc.

    I find it useful to think of it topologically like an IRC server, if you’re familiar with how those work; many of them connect and share content - You’re on an instance/server, but can interact with users and content from different ones.

    The rest are more oriented towards Linux, servers (in general), and aren’t really required for Lemmy use in general.

    This is where I started to explain what a codebase fork is, but then I realized that I fucking hate typing on my phone.
