Wenn ich noch einmal jemanden über Ticketautomaten oder die Online-Ticketbuchung der #DeutscheBahn jammern höre, raste ich aus.

Gerade in #Antibes 5 Minuten Automatentetris gespielt: der Regioalverkehrsautomat führt Zielbahnhof nicht. Der Automat der SNCF fragt für *jeden* einzelnen Passagier nach einem Online-Account. Man landet für die Wahl der Rückfahrt in einem Bildschirm, in dem vollkommen unklar ist, wie die Buchung weitergeht und der EC-Karten-Leser und der Bildschirm sprechen ultralangsam miteinander.
Raus kommt ein gefühl 4 Meter langes Ticket (so wie früher), auf dem fett steht, dass man es compostieren (also abstempeln) muss - aber kein Stempelautomat weit und breit.

Die Bahnsteige heißen übrigens - sehr intuitiv - 2, A und 1. Und sind in der gleich Type und Farbe ausgeschildert wie die Wegweiser zu den jeweils anderen Bahnsteigen. 🤷🤦♀️

Oh, und anscheinend haben wir jetzt komplett ohne Rabatt Zugbindung - in einem fucking Regionalzug.

Leude: Wenn euch die Bahn nervt, fahrt mal Zug woanders™ und erlebt, dass es wesentlich schlimmer geht.
Und wenn ihr mir nicht glaubt: lest es bei @jon nach.

Except that under fascism, dissent often leads to death or encampment. What a stupid toot.

@aral
That’s not how that works.

@aral Very specifically, this is a German, not an EU, fuck-up. The German tax codes defines a very narrow, and very 1950ies view of what’s a charitable cause and the Federal ministry of finances has not been moving on this point at all. Notably, other charities with political intent had their previously granted status removed (check Campact for instance).
There’s another big issue with this in general, and that’s an EU issue: There is no way to set up an EU-wide charitable cause entity. So you’d have to run 27 entities to get tax deductability (is this a word?) in the entire EU.
While it’s sad to read this, it’s absolutely understandable that they took this step. The implications … yeah, yet another Mozilla or Wikipedia foundation with questionable priorities decoupled from the actual project.

But please bash the German government and only then the EU ;-)

@aral Is it just me, or does this sound an awful lot like one of those v!agra spam mail subjects? I wonder if the universe considers humanity partly spam... 🤭

"We need to rebuild the #commons. When industries are polluting the atmosphere or the oceans, they are, in fact, #privatising the commons ("considering a #common good as their private trash"). When an industry receives millions in #public #subsidies then make a patent, that industry is privatising the common. When Google is putting the Linux kernel in a phone that cannot be modified easily, Google is privatising the common. Why do we need expensive electric cars? Because the #automotive industry has been on a century-long mission to kill public transport or the sole idea of going on foot, to destroy the commons.

We need to defend our commons."

Very, very much on point, @ploum !

@apps
Just to be clear: I don't want to disable this feature. I genuinely like it.
@BM_Bourguignon

With the new version, #Fedilab asks me whether I want to boost a toot with an image without #AltText. I like! ?
If you think you don't have time to make your posts accessible, maybe you're posting too much. ?
Take your time for #accessibility!

@mattl
Can't speak for others, but we do and many of our friends do. Might be a German thing because the state requires lots and lots of things on paper still. ?♀️

Your kid craves colouring stuff? Go to openclipart.org, play a little with @inkscape (together with your kid of course) and print it out. It's amazing how their eyes shine :blobinlove:
