When I was young I rolled my eyes at older people who couldn’t or didn’t want to keep up with tech and all things new. Like why?
I get it now. Between AI stealing all creative work and identities and the continued infrastructure insanities like hyper loops, maglevs, motorways and, um, cars, (not to mention wars, climate and general politics) moving into the woods sounds increasingly attractive.

#Interrail problems: where should I go 27–31 July with my last remaining days? Trying to avoid any sports events (Olympic, football) and/or huge crowds.
Sound like #UpNorth?

Nichts geht über ein guten Morgen Ihr ICE fällt aus 🤪 So schlecht habe ich noch nie gepackt um überstürzt eine Stunde früher mit Regio aufzubrechen. #Mayday nach Budapest!

Sour beer season has officially started – and I need to go to CZ again asap. The Obora supply is dwindling. (Looking forward to to having a wonderful Duna #BeerOnTrains in Latvia next month!)

Oh god no, Canva bought Serif, the company that makes the #Affinity apps.
People, go buy it one more time with the forever-license before they make it a subscription. We really just can’t have not shitty things 😭

#BahnBubble
Wie war noch mal der Trick (irgendwas ?xxxx) um die alte DB #Reiseauskunft reiseauskunft.bahn.de weiter zum Planen zu nutzen?

Irgendwer von euch hat das vor zwei oder drei Tagen gepostet und ich finde es nicht mehr.
@partim vielleicht?

#BahnBubble, was ist der Trick um mit DB Fahrkarte im Navigator durch die Ticket-Gates in den Niederlanden zu kommen? Airplane Mode ist es schon mal nicht :/ Startet immer nur mobile pay.

Selbst die Interrail App kriegt das inzwischen hin. Außer in GB aber da ist wenigstens überall reichlich Personal an den Gates

Fourth to last train of the day, and the nicest one today – my Interrail pass of summer 23 is coming to an end.
On the traditionally crappy route from Basel to Saarbrücken, it’s the traditional vermicelli pastry, beer and water from Basel SNCF.

With additional tickets and Deutschlandticket, I have been traveling since 22 August. More trips coming up in the next three weeks but then I think I gotta give the Deuter Trail 24 a bit of rest 😑

This must be the old railway line before they built the tunnel into Siracusa I am wandering on

Train cars should not be separated into 1./2. class or business/quiet but into mature cheese/no stinky food cars.

A very insightful and honest report by Dave Foster on designing his/a Venus-like typeface. I especially like how he writes about asking for advice. Not many admit that but rather let design information sound like they are the independent genius who came up with the thing on their own.

Hip hip hurray, we finally have a good digital Venus! https://www.fostertype.com/retail-type/taurus-grotesk

After amazing days at the architecture biennale in Venice, design meccas like the E-1027 villa by Eileen Grey at Cap Martin and the Lignotto Fiat factory in Turin, as well as hiking in Carlazzo I am going to cross the alps again direction Cold 😭

Still some NL, Mainz, Saar, Basel and a grand finale towards Sicily in my futura

14 hours on day trains is a different beast than 23 hours on one night train in a single occupancy cabin. Oh the conversations I had to overhear today. The social studies. But above all: the scenery, the Abendrot 😍

I’m sitting in a train ~compartment (small open space) with 10 seats. For 4 hours already we are going through extremely scenic scenery. 3/4 have much better seats than me, scenery wise. Especially the young lady opposite of me. None of them has been looking out of the window just for a tiny bit!!!! While I can’t even listen to podcast because the view ask for my full attention. I have severe Ausblickneid here you Banausen!!!!

The disappearing signs of Arad for @jon
UV on plastic is better at creating letterforms than any artist or interpolation error

Similar effect on an advertisement for … plastic stuff. Very fitting
Two more fading advertisements for household items

#Interrail Do i really need a supplement for the Centovalli fart train to Domodossola now? Last year I took it without any, maybe out of ignorance.
