@jwildeboer@social.wildeboer.net may I offer brainmade.org for a positive instead of negative affirmation?

@jonny@neuromatch.social not touching the other points, but for good faith actors costs of infrastructure needed for federation is a cooperative shaped problem :)

@cstross it’s interesting how he keeps talking about solar energy, still, while the rest of the right wing mysteriously seem not to. How far off the predictions in your essay about him & space & solar energy collection are we, I wonder. (Did he get lapped by the cost of batteries dropping as they have? It seems likely.)

@stefanlindbohm @moof @cycling_on_rails @jonmsterling @quixoticgeek @anya @albertcardona more to the original post’s point, i was considering a trip Amsterdam-Malaga early last year; outbound was 27 hours but inbound 30 hours, no planner could find it for me without lots of help, and if i missed the tight connection in Narbonne (7 minutes between TER & IC) I’d be stuck in the south of France overnight. The reliability & passenger service standards completely let me down, and the search & booking a complete ordeal. Especially when the very first segment isn’t in Interrail.

@jon@gruene.social I did briefly wonder if the point of the current draft was to be unworkable so CER could propose something workable they would let the commission get through. Perhaps that’s too cynical?

@cstross@wandering.shop friends group uniformly disappointed in him. Perhaps he’ll urge a boycott and lead it himself? Wish I could straightforwardly root for him.

@partim they should do something useful and run another Optima express, that takes Interrail. Except from London. (One travel day or four?)

@siege@masto.hackers.town specifically in the Netherlands, this particular thing (level of estrogen) is not part of the gatekeeping. There are other things still; I can’t speak for elsewhere in the world.

@Ccub weirdly, engineering works don’t seem to be planned this way? The recent meltdown with freight blocking back through Switzerland into Italy(!) seems like quite a failure, and other operators (SJ specifically) seem to be quite chaotic too.

@cycling_on_rails the safe option is the sensible option, definitely, but limiting it to two days has important effects. I’m pretty sure the four day Interrail ticket is heavily used by people who treat them as a return ticket for long distances. :) Certainly I have! This seems wrong but is an interesting wrinkle in the discussion of ticket costs. There is in fact a maximum fare for cross Europe travel by train for up to a certain distance, and it’s the distance you can go in two days (or four, one way). No wonder SNCF limits the numbers, never mind the reservation fee profiteering 😬
