Absolute jaw drop

Go to SNCF Grandes Lignes ticket office and ask why SNCF Connect cannot sell me tickets to Berlin any more

“C’est la faute de Deutsche Bahn!” the employee tells me

This is a flat lie

Deutsche Bahn provides this data still. The fault is with SNCF’s IT. And employees here are blaming Deutsche Bahn

@jon @onterof defined date? Or an undefined one? It's not great if there's a known gap, but I'd expect SNCF to be leaving an indefinite gap in service

Definitely in the middle of nowhere. Phone signal sucks... And buses are once an hour...

@quixoticgeek but are there evening buses?

So, I built Siren's documentation portal, and the entire site is built using WordPress and the full-site editor. It's my first complete build using FSE, so I wrote up a reflection on it.

TL;DR It's REALLY gettin' good, y'all.

@alexstandiford I think the site theme needs a bit of work to be useful on low power devices. Screenshot attached

I’m lost

I’ve just crossed a capital city by train, 3 stops so far*.

Not once been told to mind the gap between the platform and the train.

Not once been warned to not leave behind my luggage.

Not once been warned to not open the doors before the train is at the platform.

Not once been told to label my luggage.

Not once been told to mind the closing doors.

And no one died (as far as I’m aware).

@jon @quixoticgeek does an app really save you a few euro? What price access to your phone, its data, network and battery? Transport tickets really ought to use standard ticket wallet apps. Bet their blasted app is only on Google and Apple app stores, not independent ones, entrenching the tech overlord monopolies further. 😤

@samueljohnson @jon Saturday's electrostar had some intermittent contact problem on the speakers. At least once it went "this is the service to London (crackles, long long pause) Sorted!" Which was nice.

Is he stuck in traffic? 🤔

This is how he’d have to have arrived from Strasbourg by train. Not the best connections…

@jon all via Paris. SNCF is awful at region to region.

@jon CdG is still pretty much Paris. I wonder why the northeastern border corridor has so little service. Another obvious looking route is via Luxembourg but argh #crossborderail

If we want people to refill reusable bottles, it needs to be easier than buying a bottle of drink. That means a) not needing a bloody app to find where you can get water 2) water taps/fountains in the well walked passages of the station so you can fill as you go past and don't have to detour. iii) not have to ask someone to fill your bottle for you.

@fkamiah17 remind Sunak and friends that that "foreign" court (the ) was created by the 1949 Treaty of London! UK withdrawal would be a disgrace, making our government a laughing stock, joining the 1970 Greek dictatorship.

@pettter @jon anyone who thinks there aren't complaints about buses isn't monitoring social media. People don't complain to bus operating companies or authorities any more because nothing changes.

Hmmm

Not good, PayPal

Try to reset my password, and I get stuck in a neverending loop... For some reason the password change is not confirmed with the 2FA app I use, but with SMS, and when I put that code in it takes me back to start of the password change process, and the original password is retained

Same in any browser I try…

@jon when will companies learn SMS is not 2FA? Control of a telco number is not an object you have.

Have coding standards dropped, or has publicity of shitty date handling become better ? I'm sure we never used to have this many things break due to February having 29 days occasionally.

@quixoticgeek surely it would be fairer to switch off liquid fuel stations at times of peak fuel burning pollution in their locality? Probably 8h-9h30 and 15h30-18h30 in most?

The skin of your laundry pods dissolve in the washing machine, right?

They dissolve into microplastic.
And wastewater treatment systems have no way to filter that out so the microplastics go straight into streams and the ocean.

Just pour your laundry soap out of a box or bottle.

@thibaultmol @RiaResists @CelloMomOnCars powder doesn't seem to dissolve in our hard water at low temperature. Beckmann laundry sheets do. Are they OK? And how to dispose of a box of pods safely?

While everyone in Germany is howling for the re-opening of Freiburg-Breisach-Colmar, an existing line a bit further south - Mulhouse-Müllheim hasn’t worked properly for months

Irony too: it’s due to a lack of drivers, French side. Who’s stopping EU reform of language regime for train drivers? I’ll let you guess…

@jon @_Hemmschuh pretty obvious that French would make more sense than English now. Are any English-as-an-official-language EU countries rail-connected?

mjr,
@mjr@masto.bike avatar

@jon @_Hemmschuh why only second language? Shouldn't we be counting any language use to a given level (B1 maybe) or better, whether first, second or third? Plus maybe the cost of bringing enough others up to it. If that's still English, I'm surprised but will concede.

mjr,
@mjr@masto.bike avatar

@baeuchle @jon @_Hemmschuh French far easier than technical German IMO, as someone knowing some of both. Teaching cost/time figures may confirm or refute that, if anyone can find them.

@quixoticgeek I fell into one of those today! No trains from my local line to my destination. Travel to other line for their 3 per hour service and find 1 per hour running, 1 cancelled last night (dirty trick to avoid paying compensation), 1 cancelled today "due to a planning error" (drivers refusing overtime). Shambles.

"this Cisco asa vulnerability, don't we have one of those in the rack?"

"Are we vulnerable?"

@quixoticgeek probably best stick a label on it in case someone "fixes the problem" by reconnecting the power!
