Pleasant small city to overnight in when travelling from Paris towards Hamburg and the Echte Norden. Very quiet in the night, was nice to hear the birds sing when falling asleep. Relatively inexpensive Ibis Styles hotel (although I don’t see what the “styles” refers to in this case) (not in pic).
@tml Loudly playing devices really became a cancer on trains. Is that because most don’t have a headphone jack anymore and people don’t carry (charged) Bluetooth ones with them? I really wish there were clear signs that playing stuff loudly is not allowed. Even in the non-silent cars.
@wrzlbrnft Oh ja! Ich gucke alle paar Monate mögliche Routen Deutschland – Georgien (und dann warte ich doch noch bisschen, aber worauf? Bessere Verbindung sicher nicht so schnell)
@wrzlbrnft Das wär’ ein toller Nachtzug! Würde warten. Ich hoffe nur, die politische Situation holt uns nicht ein, wie mich mit meinem lange geplanten/gehegten Ukraine-Besuch 😞
Phones should have a language-agnostic input option where you get to choose supported character sets. It could be combined with a multi-lingual spell check that learns the languages you type in.
I don’t necessarily want to switch to the Icelandic keyboard to type an occasional place name correctly.
@anuko@jhilden The special glyphs you get to access this way depend on your keyboard layout/language settings though. I don’t get any options when I use the German or Dutch keyboard layout. A few when switching to the English one. Would be nice to be able to customize this (I guess access to all options would overwhelm the UI too much)
@anuko@jhilden You can switch between your installed keyboard layouts with the globe pictogram. Try switching to the English layout and compare. Each gives you access to a different set of glyphs Apple thought would be wanted by someone using that keyboard layout ¯_(ツ)_/¯
#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?
@partim I agree! I’m just not sure if I’m ready for the Eurostar hassle (especially on a weekend). And I have to go to the UK in September when tickets were already out of reach when I checked so will probably buy and IR pass again.
I did UK quite intensively the last two years, but only rushed through DK and SE en route to FI. But probably North not so feasible with this few days
@murtaugh Oh I wish! Sorry for the confusion. I was watching the #Eurovision song contest last night and Portugal’s contribution was really nice. I should have used a revealing hashtag. (Will do tomorrow and Saturday :)
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!
Und ja vielleicht geht’s ab Mü im #Railjet besser but I’m somehow not in love with those. Short trains, always full, #diningcar not as good as DB in recent experiences so I was looking forward to breakfast and lunch in an ICE
@triple@eWalthert Once something goes wrong you are completely fucked in a system with compulsory reservations, too few trains, very bad timetable, hardly any useful connections but to/through Paris where you have to schlep yourself across town + insane prices (or just fully booked trains). Their app is complete shit, the trains cramped, no storage space, too few doors to board, lame snack options with no seating, too many useless announcements but no useful timely info
