Maybe someone who works for an airline can explain this to me. Most other industries that rely on a piece of equipment to function, have backups on standby. The number of backups is a function of the failure rate of that specific piece of equipment. So let’s say you are a trucking company, and you know from experience that one out of twenty trucks on average will go down in a given week for some repair issue but it’s in your company’s best interest to keep the freight moving on time. So you have 5% of your fleet on standby across your shipping route to keep your business functioning. It doesn’t seem like airlines do this, or they do it very poorly and don’t seem to have any incentive to improve. What gives??

cb900f_bodhi@lemmynsfw.comto Piracy: ꜱᴀɪʟ ᴛʜᴇ ʜɪɢʜ ꜱᴇᴀꜱ@lemmy.dbzer0.com•Thinking of switching to Surf Fiber internet from the Comcast Xfinity Cable I currently have - any suggestions?English2·13 days agoI was in a similar boat just recently. Spectrum in lieu of Comcast. I figured anybody would almost certainly be better than Spectrum. It’s such a low bar, really. Boy was I wrong. Despite the attractive pricing and all the advantages of fiber, the fiber company, Clearnetwerx, was a total shit show. I’m talking about the basics, like, do what you say you’re going to do, make a plan in advance, make an appointment when you need to access the property, call your customer back when they leave a message. Stuff like that. I got so fed up that I canceled my service request. I’ll pay a bit more to avoid the headache of a clown car company. Maybe I’ll try again next year and see if they get their shit together.
cb900f_bodhi@lemmynsfw.comto Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•Newbie, what app works best with Lemmy?6·16 days agoEternity. I’ve tried them all and it was the best. Dev is too busy lately to maintain it. So I’m using Connect in the interim.
Really, you just gotta try them all to find the flavor you like best!
What about the Mullvad browser? Seems to work well and is very privacy focused. I’m surprised no one else has mentioned it yet…
