I used a similar service when I was told by KLM (same company as AF) that a cancelled flight of mine was outside of their control (it wasn't). It was a special case because they cancelled the first out of 3 connecting flights and reboo

The US legacy carriers were the first "full service" airlines to bring in extra charges for bags, food, seats etc. Luckily delay compensation exists in the EU, otherwise there would be no difference between them nowadays.

I hate this new trend with a passion. A new low-cost airline just launched in Australia. The only way to book? By installing their app... I am not sure how the non-tech masses book their trips, but I usually have a dozen tabs open, comparin

Huh, TIL about bufferbloat. I run OPNsense (very happy with it) and had a B, so I followed this guide ( https://docs.ibracorp.io/opnsense/ ) and I now have A+. Do you have any information on fq_codel vs cake?

> Ford Escort Interestingly this was a collaboration with the European Ford team as far as I understand (although apparently the end result diverged quite a bit). Maybe they got some hot tips around build quality :)

This almost sounds like the popular xkcd around CPU overheating being a feature: https://xkcd.com/1172/ Surely there are other, more reliable ways, to keep a space heated during winter months?

Yes, all of those things. Sure, they are cheap, but if you ever try using Xfce (or similarly small DE) for a bit you will quickly realise just how slow other desktop environments (and Windows/OSX) are. Unnecessary animations is another

I had the same experience but never moved back from Xfce. Is there any particular reason you've now migrated back to KDE? What I particularly like about Xfce is that it's not very bloated. KDE always seemed quite bloated to me.
