@aral Where's the Death Note when we need it :(

@aral @hayo You think a Chromium fork (like Vivaldi) is doomed to fail because of the control Google has over the core source code?

@aral two of the best talks I've seen Aral :)

@aral btw the Domain link on this page is broken: https://ar.al/bio/

@aral sounds right 😞

What do you think of Green MEPs and The Left MEPs, same? :(

@aral @leahabshaffer @mimsical I sometimes wonder if EU MPs or the commissioners have literally been threatened (or their families) by "lobbyists".

Sometimes I think the only way for any of this to keep going is if enough people get to power with somewhat good intentions but then fear for their physical safety, idk

@aral tail... 😹😹😹

I don't have a place to stay the night in #Bergen. Anyone willing to rent a couch or extra room? Just for the night and I leave around 8 in the morning. Airbnbs and hotels are super expensive

Ok gonna start #LisbonToBergen with a little pre-trip info! This is my luggage for the whole trip (and stay). I'm planning to stay for at least 5 months and maybe visit home again by then.

I packed everything I think I need for the journey itself on the pink backpack (it's a Got Bag, btw), so I don't have to open the big trolley until I get to my new home ☺️

My #trip starts tomorrow! I leave #Portugal (#Porto) at around 8am.

#LisbonToBergen

This is my outfit for day one of #LisbonToBergen! Just got up and showered. I need very fresh clothing for the first day: #Porto-#Barcelona. It's probably gonna be hot all around ahah

Ah small funny detail! Since on trips like these it's a good idea to always have battery on your phone (for emergencies, at least), I brought my spare battery for my #Fairphone! It's at 100% eheh I can just switch if my current one dies and I can't charge it!

#LisbonToBergen

Ok I didn't have time to take a picture of the outside of the train (saying goodbye to my awesome girlfriend), but I boarded the first one and we're moving! #Porto-#Vigo

First impressions: not amazing 😅 no power outlets, seats are not made for someone my height, they're small, but relatively comfortable. Let's see how they do after 2 hours. I'm sitting in front of two girls so at least that's kinda cool!

#LisbonToBergen

Also no WiFi I think. This one is operated by CP (Comboios de Portugal, Portugal Trains)

#LisbonToBergen

Seats and outside view (taken on a brief stop in Viana do Castelo)

#LisbonToBergen

I'm currently following along the Minho river and will cross to #España in Valença, I think

#LisbonToBergen

Officially in Spain! 🇪🇸

#LisbonToBergen

Ok I feel asleep. Lucky for me Vigo was the last stop 😅

Also a nice boy gave me my water bottle that I almost forgot on my first train... Folks, sleep before you travel!

#LisbonToBergen

Ok so, the first train arrived around 20 minutes late (11.35 scheduled vs 11.55 real). I'm used to Portuguese trains arriving late, but I guess the first takeaway of this trip is to always assume you're arriving 30 minutes later then scheduled when traveling in Portugal. That is on top of your normal time between trains, of course.

Now, a small break, and we keep going at 12.30 (Spain time CET) towards #Pontevedra!

#LisbonToBergen

Ok just entered the next train after a small panic to make sure I was in the correct one. Will check better next time! Always look at the train code, in addition to destination and time! Just to avoid misshaps eheh

Pictures from this train, #Vigo-#Pontevedra! It's a regional, aka Media Distancia. The seats lean back a lot and also move the seat forward so your spine gets into a more comfy position.
