The public transport ticket machines in #Lisbon have a better UX than the ones in #Porto.
In Porto they asked whether you have a Portuguese tax number or not, and they used the weird word “title” instead of the simple to understand word “ticket”. Also, here you can with one payment buy several travel cards with the same tickets loaded onto each card.
But sure, ideal is London-style contactless payment system with daily fee capping . Instead of a separate travel card for each city you visit.
O ataque a #imigrantes, no #Porto, é um crime de ódio mas foi, sobretudo, um ataque terrorista. Um grupo de facínoras, armado e encapuzado, invectivou os residentes, do exterior do edifício onde dormiam, rebentou a porta de casa e assaltou, com violência inaudita, os residentes, dejxando-os aturdidos e feridos. #Umactoterrorista, com assumidos contornos xenófobos e racistas. A #tolerânciacomaintolerância é intolerável e pagaremos todos um preço de sangue se continuarmos a tolerá-la. #xenofobia
Hauptversammlung der Deutschen Post: Weniger Briefe, höheres Porto
Post-Kunden müssen sich auf längere Wartezeiten und höhere Preise einstellen. Der DHL-Konzern kämpft derzeit mit großen Herausforderungen - die heute auf der Hauptversammlung in Bonn zur Sprache kommen.
Another one with the #LongExposure feature on the #PixelCam. Not a big fan of the renovation work at this market in #Porto, but I guess it works for the pictures. 😅
So the xenophobic idiots* decided to come all the way up to the north to protest against immigration, hopefully they're going to get some broken bones before going back home.
They're the 1143 group which is actually a bunch of neonazis (1143 is the date of foundation of Portugal). This in a country where we are a mix of multiple European (Celts, Romans, Iberians, Goths) and North African peoples, and more if I go further back than the Phoenicians.
4 Mar 1394: b. Prince Henry the 'Navigator' #otd#Porto - intensified #Portuguese interactions with #Africa. The results, to say the least, were of lasting consequence.
“Overlooking the Douro” — The Duoro River winding through Porto, Portugal on a hazy afternoon.
You would be wrong if you thought that I had shared all of the photographs from our 2023 Europe travels! I came back with more than 5000 image files. I’ve traversed the full set a few times, and there are a lot more photographs there for me to finalize. This one comes from our stay in Porto, Portugal, on a warm late afternoon when a random walk took us past this viewpoint above the Duoro River, at a park where the locals were hanging out…continues: https://gdanmitchell.com/2024/01/11/overlooking-the-duoro/
This has been the most important international Jewish story Americans don't pay attention to.
"The #Jewish community in #Porto last week submitted a lawsuit to the civil court in #Lisbon, in which it asks for compensation in the amount of 10 million euros from the state. Community representatives say that in 2022 the community and its leaders fell victim to "political aggression" by the prosecutors' office and the police in Lisbon . According to the indictment, the actions taken by the attorney general and the police in #Portugal generated tens of thousands of messages of hate against the community on social networks and in the press, and about a million posts on social media platforms associating the name of the community with the word corruption, which fatally damaged any future ability of the community to raise donations for its religious and cultural activities."
