So you’re saying there shouldn’t be a choice. Your opinion is yours. Fine with me. 🤷

@sarajw @aral @EU_Commission Journalism isn’t free. Journalists, too, have rent to pay and children to feed. You have a choice to pay with your money or pay with your data, whichever you prefer. Sounds fair to me.

Die unabhängige, alternative BahnApp ist richtig gut! Es ist klar, dass es ein großer Aufwand ist, so eine gute App zu schreiben und zu pflegen. Wenn man es ernst meint und weder ein Konzern wie die DB ist, noch Werbung schalten möchte, dann kann man das nicht für lau machen.

Ich habe mir gerade die Premium-Variante im Jahresabo geholt, um den Entwickler zum Weitermachen zu ermutigen! ❤️

@RustyBertrand Video or it didn’t happen:

@destatis Das ist ja „überraschend“! Honi soit qui mal y pense.

@SheDrivesMobility @swr Wo er recht hat. Aber ist das jetzt ein Gegenargument?

@MichiBrezel Beim zweiten Teil muss ich widersprechen. Ich versuche regelmäßig, in Printerzeugnissen mit zwei Fingern ranzuzoomen. Klappt nie. Die Qualität ist „what you see is what you get“. Mehr ist nicht drin.

@aral Well, if it’s consistently out of balance, then you can probably fix it by adjusting the balance by a few degrees. If it usually behaves nicely and only in some situations tips over, then you probably can’t fix it yourself. I wouldn’t trust it anymore in that case. Who knows what kind of strange behavior comes next. If it lets you down, it can hurt a lot.

@aral it’s not expected. Depending on the model you can adjust it yourself, usually with an app that connects via bluetooth.

@aral I’ll see a friend in real life, one of the few who still refuse to own a smart phone. Going on a hike. Enjoy and relax, whatever you do on the weekend!

@goatsarah @hankg No worries. Spain may seem like politically a different continent from UK perspective, but geographically you’re not leaving Europe. You charge port that works in Portsmouth will work in Bilbao just fine.

You see, for Americans the distinction is natural. Before the standardization and NACS naming, how would you call the plug that is not CCS and is used by Tesla superchargers in all of North America, if not „Tesla plug“?

@goatsarah @hankg I agree but that’s a totally different debate (was NACS a wise choice?), and „elsewhere“ in this case means overseas, no less. When was the last time you took your car across the ocean?

@hankg It’s a matter of getting used to. If you refer to „Tesla Charger“, everybody knows what you mean. NCAS doesn’t mean much to most people, yet. The same happened in Europe after standardization of „Type 2“: People continued referring to the standard as „the Mennekes plug“. There’s nothing wrong with it, as far as I’m concerned. Language will change over time, whether you fret about it or not.
