Comment They will pass the bill to travelers (Score 1) 65

France already does this. And Air France gives you an option to pay extra to subsidize further use of SAF. They will give you an estimate of carbon emissions of your trip, and offer various choices to pay for SAF to offset it. Funding SAF for the whole trip costs about 25% of your ticket pricr.

That does not feel right. It's like being an European and going to NYC and witness the omnipresent tip culture. Now the airlines expect a tip too?

Comment Re:The "media" has no interest in the Fediverse (Score 1) 15

wrote up a comment but it was deleted. tl;dr free speech exists on the fediverse, and if you choose to value it you can have it. whether or not the fediverse is "about" free speech is almost irrelevant. The parts of the fediverse that have free speech are "about" it and there will be those of us who connect the rest of the network to freedom whether or not the prudes and the censors want to try to wall themselves off.

'Multi-server but all under control by an unaccountable central point of failure' you mean

Search is way easier in centralized systems, obviously.
As far as algorithmic filtering of content, you can do that already on the fediverse, you just have to do it manually on your own database of posts. The UI isn't quite there yet on servers like pleroma, but it will get there if it's seen to be a useful feature.

good thing disney's priorities is making their service more defective by design, and harder to use for their paying customers and not fixing their buggy-AF UI or producing more content

it makes it easier to compete with them and an easier sell for a cartoon producing entity to replace them
