I fly 200ish flights a year so figure 70-80 nights away.

2025 was 100% hotels but 2019 was about 80% Airbnbs.

Airbnb will never get my business back. Ever. The professional scammer hosts are so good at finding a way to nail me for a fee. Iâ(TM)ve taken perfect check out video and still had to spend hours fighting fees.

Airbnb allowed making guests do it.

They lost so much money to hotels theyâ(TM)re banning hosts from requiring it.

I'm a bit surprised they didn't go for Rocky Linux. Nothing wrong with Debian, mind, but Rocky is downstream from CentOS/RHEL and would be an easier migration.

It has happened under both.

Free speech includes lying.

Merit should always consider strictly value.

The energy problem isn't a long term problem. Smaller, on-site nuclear is coming.

And, though it may annoy many readers here, Trump is part of this push. I'm sure that after decades of demanding more modern nuclear reactors that suddenly Slashdot will recoil in horror and demand we burn whale oil or some such.

The $5K a year just gives you a $300 per person per visit discount. So pays itself back in 15 visits or so.

Plenty of us nerds can afford this and want to see news about this.

You sound angry and jealous.

Pretty much. We use Claude where I work. We are on some kind of budget enterprise plan. So we are judicious on what we use it on. If we hit the limit for the month then we wait or request an increase with justification.

Also good because we keep using our brains instead of outsourcing everything to the robots, and that is going to be critical going forward imo.

Garbage regulations like IP create these behemoths. If you want freedom, stop regulating monopolies into existence.

Statism creates billionaires.

It still has no teeth. You get to make a presentation to The Overlords, and then they get to ignore it.

Didn't get me wrong, it's better than nothing, but there's no obligation for the government to do anything as far as I can tell.

Be mindful in the voting booth. While neither party is perfect, one is far more likely to promote heavy handed regulation.
