DOT Announces Rule Requiring Automatic Refunds of Airline Tickets and Service Fees for flights that are canceled or delayed more than 3 hours domestically and 6 hours internationally

Kostyeah,

It is, but after spending like 5 hours arguing with different customer service reps about it I decided that it wasn’t worth my time. The company went out of business later anyways.

Cash or original form of payment: Airlines and ticket agents must provide refunds in cash or whatever original payment method the individual used to make the purchase, such as credit card or airline miles. Airlines may not substitute vouchers, travel credits, or other forms of compensation unless the passenger affirmatively chooses to accept alternative compensation.

Substance_P,

Perhaps it’s because the Biden campaign joined TikTok for all that sweet younger gen voter support.

During a presentation by an executive with Google’s Israel branch on Monday, a Google Cloud engineer stood up and shouted, “I refuse to build technology that powers genocide or surveillance.” They were later fired.

Carrolade,

It’s easier to sniff out nice-sounding bullshit than it is to find actual progress.

Psychodelic,

Fair enough. That hasn’t been my experience for the last almost 2 years. Teams in our org have been told that if they lose people they can’t hire replacements. Shit’s sucked

I’ve also been hearing about massive layoffs at tons of the biggest companies. I’d be surprised if they were still hiring, obviously.

Aimhere,

@news whomever runs the News bot, could you please stop boosting every single reply to every last post? I only want to see the initial News posts in my feed, not all of the replies.

floppy,

Yeah, the way it works with groups is not great. There are news feeds on Mastodon which are probably a better option to follow from there.

JustAManOnAToilet,

Stands to perfect reason. Lemmings are essentially large rodents, mastadons are essentially large elephants, elephants don’t get along with mice, mastadons don’t get along with lemmings. Science!

PenguinJuice,

Project Gateway!!! I hope to see it finished in my lifetime🤞

confluence,

What is Project Gateway? Looks like lots of projects call themselves that.

Lath,
