Would a different argument be - which is worse, the energy innefficency of vintage - or the massive amounts of waste produced by modern efficient crap that is disposable.

Why would anyone reward bad behavior?

Why would anyone install software that the owner himself said is unsafe to use?

Bye bye Max plan and Anthropic. Too much noise on Anthropic's billing woes as of late and tbh Codex with newest version is scratching my AI itch. Of course YMMV but at least with OpenAI no surprise billings (as of yet) for the past 4 months.

Rhetorical question- but what is it going to take for the IT Community to start treating Gmail and the rest of the "too big to block" as adversarial entities and actually block them for their bad behavior. Pie in the sky I know.

I wonder if that's on purpose to poison the release. Would make sense. At least it is towards the end of the article.

Major points are also missed. The fee is enabled at the federal law level: 49 U.S.C. § 114 & 49 U.S.C. § 44901

This seems to be on par for this Iowa county which their ignorance sadly has painted a major target on their innocent citizens- related article:

"Dallas County Attorney Matt Schultz told KCCI: "I want to be clear that the decision to dismiss the criminal charges that resulted in this civil case against Dallas County was made by a previous County Attorney. I am putting the public on notice that if this situation arises again in the future, I will prosecute to the fullest extent of the law."

Question bouncing around in my mind reading this, especially with money involved, is why did this not cross the line into criminal fraud?
