Thanks for correcting the record. In that case I think I was mislead and misinformed by the airline. This keeps getting more interesting. So far, they have broken all of the rules: didn't properly inform me that I will be denied boarding, didn't call for volunteers, didn't give me any information about compensation, didn't provide any written statements and now misleading "information". Not feeling very protected right now.

The crux of the matter is that these "consumer protect laws" often release the party with the most leverage from liability i.e. they protect the party with the most leverage from ever being held accountable for doing something really damaging to the other party. And their justification for this, is giving you a pittance as compensation.

How you do it is by simply retaining liability for damages caused, i.e. by not trying to short circuit the justice system.

Do you know what happens when the airline does not follow even the laws that are there on the books in their favour? In that case you are first advised to seek justice from a private arbitration court, i.e. they are again trying to avoid the actual legal system. Seems like a pattern.

As I already said, the job of the courts is to determine just financial compensation.

Her voting record is public for all to read.

 

When the EU law says you are due 600€ for missing a flight, that also means you are due only 600€ for missing a flight, no matter what. Doesn't matter if you missed out on the job of a lifetime, or if you weren't present for your father's last breath. It's so disingenuous how they craft a narrative of citizens/consumers first, but in end effect, the only ones who have the ear of von der Leyen and the rest of the EC are the lobbyists. Metsola is the head of the EP and she's the biggest corporate stooge to ever walk this planet.

I find meeting people at all to be the biggest hurdle.

 

At what step do you struggle the most?

I have not used an IDE since I ditched Turbo Pascal in middle school, but now I am at a place where everyone and their mother uses VS Code and so I'm giving it a shot.

The thing is, I'm finding the "just works" mantra is not true at all. Nothing is working out of the box. And then for each separate extension I have to figure out how to fix it. Or I just give up and circumvent it by using the terminal.

What's even the point then?

IDK maybe its a matter of getting used to something new, but I was doing fine with just vim and tmux.

It's basically fanfiction. What's the difference between Kamala Harris and Harry Potter?

I don't really trust Buttigieg not to be a sell out, but of all the ones being named, he's the one with the rhetorical chops to stand up to Trump. But maybe Trump will flat out refuse a second debate.

He subscribes to a branch of neo-reactionary politics coined "dark enlightenment" that basically rejects liberalism. In short, these fine fellows believe that we should be their literal serfs in a neo-feudal society. I think point for point, their ideology is even more fucked up than fascism.

I think the west made up a narrative about postwar Germany and that narrative is now being exposed.

Immigrant who lives in Germany here. This post is a bunch of lies. On this topic there are a lot of politically motivated astroturfers who take over whole comment sections to push their false narratives.
