Saw this walking through Vienna…We really need to get young people to care more about OUR politics than US-Politics.
It is getting a bit ridiculous IMO 😵💫

Reasonable gamble, fellow train traveller. Unfortunately you have chosen poorly. 😔
It seems the operator decided to let *both* delayed ICEs pass and sacrifice the regional train giving it a 35 minute delay.

B) Take one of the ICEs directly from Plattling to Vienna.
This will cost me an extra 25€ and the shame of rewarding DB with more money for providing unreliable service.
As you can see the stakes are high. What would you choose in this situation?

A) Take the regional train to Passau for free with my D-Ticket and hope I catch one of the delayed ICEs to continue onto Vienna for free with my Klimaticket.
For this I have to trust DB that they are not going to let the ICE pass the Regional train: They are currently saying that they wont.

Visiting the EU Parliament today and happy to see we are not waiting for formalities to be done before putting the Ukranian flag where it belongs :)

Whenever I plan an @interraileu.bsky.social trip I get reminded how awful 🇫🇷 mandatory reservations are for spontaneity.
I just spent 1,5 hours making sure I can even get from Vienna to the Basque Country
Planning the austrian & german parts of the trip took up exactly 0 minutes of that #interrail

Just checked something on the website of the EU commission and I was pleasantly surprised to see that they support all official EU languages...and Ukrainian 👀
Our goal for the next 10 years will be to move Ukrainian to the section on the left 😌

The Lumo LLM Chatbot from @proton.me looks like a good enough product from a responsible actor which is rare in this space.
But it does seem like they have some kinks to work out...
The cute cat avatar is definitely a feature advantage over OpenAI though :)
