Yes, Ryanair. But even they could itemize what you had to pay extra for. OP got this instead:
What confuses me is how these things can be “volatile” and “fluctuating” before they bought the ticket?
edit: somebody made the Ryanair experience into an operetta song! https://youtu.be/ZAg0lUYHHFc
That’s like renting a flat and being charged extra for doors.
volatile, unpredictable or fluctuating operating costs and fees
Socialize the Costs and Privatize the Profits

I sometimes get confronted with “gotcha” statements like “You want to eat healthy? But you drink alcohol!”
Not the rays, the anger. I guess.
Wir treffen Jill und Joe und dessen Bruder Hip
Und auch den Rest der coolen Gang
Sie rappen hin, sie rappen her
Dazwischen kratzen’s ab die Wänd’
Dieser Fall ist klar, lieber Herr Kommissar
Auch wenn sie anderer Meinung sind
Den Schnee, auf dem wir alle talwärts fahr’n, kennt heute jedes KindJetzt das Kinderlied
Drah di ned um, oh, oh-oh
Schau, schau, der Kommissar geht um, oh, oh-oh
Er hot die Kroft und wia san klan und dumm
Und dieser Frust macht uns stumm
Drah di ned um, oh, oh-oh
Schau, schau, der Kommissar geht um, oh, oh-oh
Wenn ea di onspricht und du waßt warum
Sag eam, dein Lem bringt di um

This does not sound like they’re defending Spotify.
I’m just going to leave this here…
Because of resources, or because of compatibility?
…and wtf am I supposed to do with a shit-ton of essential oils?

Ah yes. If the pay is good enough to make a living, that’s a boon imo. OTOH, half of it’s in the morning, the other half in the afternoon?
Bus drivers deserve their reputations as cartoon weirdos, for the most part.
Including yourself I presume ❤️
No thanks. I’m beginning to realize that tardigrades are not to be trifled with.
*sigh* Thanks, I guess. The comment is short but completely unambiguous, even in context. I was hoping to be proven wrong, but they clearly belong to the same gang.
I just went down a 30min rabbit hole - mostly to figure out what really went down with Enrico Weigelt (metux). Chronologically, and extremely shortened:
We can easily imagine what other toxic stuff he spouted to make freedesktop go down hard on him, but in his mind it’s all because “Big Tech” wants to kill X.org, and he is X.org’s knight in shining armor.
His own spins on the narrative are sickening, petulant, and all-too-familiar. I refer you to the History.md of his fork. I found a couple of interviews, and he just repeats the same shit, down to the phrasing, notably: “The journalist who must not be named”, vaguely hinting at even more conspiracy. I guess he means Liam Proven from The Register, who wrote at least 3 articles about him and his fork.
Here’s an excerpt from some other article, which tries to praise the project while staying neutral, but really just spells out what is really going on here:
The README of Xlibre does not mince words. It claims that X.org has been infiltrated by “toxic elements” aligned with Big Tech. It accuses them of intentionally stalling X11 to eliminate it as competition to Wayland. And, most controversially, it declares that Xlibre is free of DEI—Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion—policies and the Codes of Conduct that have become standard in many modern open source projects.
That one line sent shockwaves.
Within 72 hours, Red Hat purged Weigelt from the X.org repositories. His GitLab account was banned. His merge requests were closed en masse. Canonical, Ubuntu’s parent company, went further, announcing they would remove X11 (edit: I guess this means Xlibre - if not, this is unrelated to Weigelt’s tantrums) support entirely from future releases. What had begun as a technical fork became a cultural lightning rod.
Cultural my ass.
Thanks again; so far I had refused to get into this topic, now I know beyond any reasonable doubt that it’s bullshit.
And BTW, I am using X.org (regular) myself. I never felt the need to switch, and I never felt the need to take part in all those Xorg/wayland discussions. But for completely unrelated, uncultural and unpolitical reasons I have recently considered switching to wayland myself.
I’m now a school bus driver.
In the States? They are often portrayed as poor weirdos in cartoons, but how is it as a job? I could imagine much better; at least around here bus drivers in general make pretty good money.

It is not often I get a video game reference.
