   anyway, PSA for austrian trans people who didn't change their name in ÖBBs system i guess:
   ÖBB doesn't allow you to change your name easily
   you can do that anyway if you open devtools, find the input element for the first name, and just remove "disabled="""
   you can just click save and... it saves correctly.

     OH MY GOD
     so
     ÖBB disabled easy name changes via their settings UI
     *but*
     i was like "eh, i wonder if i can just... un-disable the input field via devtools"
     so i did
     and it worked
     ÖBB didnt validate the random name change in their backend
