Wie geht das eigentlich zusammen, dass man Erstattungen aufgrund von Fahrgastrechten noch beantragen muss?

Meine gesamte Reise, von der Buchung bis zum Ausstieg, ist in irgendwelchen Datenbanken erfasst. Die haben mein Ticket gescannt, die wissen in welchem Zug ich sitze und wie verspätet der ist. Die wissen auch selbst über die Nichtverfügbarkeit einer gebuchten Reiseklasse Bescheid und schicken mir dafür sogar automatisierte Nachrichten.

Erstattet mir den Differenzbetrag und Schluss.

@xahteiwi Nachtrag: "Vorliegen aller notwendigen Daten" -- kann mir gut vorstellen, dass sie manche dieser Daten gar nicht speichern/korrelieren, weil bisher nicht notwendig (DSGVO! 😱). Das ist Mutmaßung, aber wenn sie stimmte, würde so eine vermeintlich unschuldige Erweiterung der Verordnung Millionenprojekte auslösen.

Jemand von der DB hier? 😬

@OmegaPolice Also das ÖBB Fahrgastrechte-Formular fragt mich nach Ticketcode, Art des Problems, Kontonummer, Name, Adresse, E-Mail-Adresse und Scans der Bestätigung der Verspätung bzw. des Downgrades.

Alles davon haben die bereits zur Erfüllung des Beförderungsvertrags gespeichert. Da muss ich laut DSGVO Art. 6(1)(b) nicht einmal explizit Zustimmung erteilen.

Today in Florence: the 100km del Passatore ultramarathon departs.

Giuseppe Zonta finished the race in 2073rd place overall, in 16 hours, 39 minutes and 8 seconds.

This makes him the winner in the over-80 (!!!) age group. I repeat, the man completed an ultramarathon at over 80 years of age.

It appears like no fewer than 4 over-80s finished the race.

Colour me amazed.

My talk was standing room only and we had to close the doors 10 minutes before the talk was scheduled to start, so uh, tapping the sign. 😁

In Florenz hängen Wahlplakate, auf denen ein Mann namens Eike Schmidt fürs Bürgermeisteramt kandidiert.

Haben wir '24 oder '42?

You queue in the Via Ricasoli to see Michelangelo's David. I queue in the Via Ricasoli for a schiacciata at l'antico Vinaio.

We are not the same.

gurubert,

@xahteiwi But David is at Piazza della Signora. 😜

@gurubert That's the replica, which they placed where the original once was.

reveal.js has become the default option for open source conference presentations, has it not?

In a Python context, how do you pronounce "kwargs"?

freezombie,
@freezombie@masto.ai avatar

@xahteiwi without context, I'd read "quargs" with the vowel in "quarter" or "store", but "kwargs" has the vowel in "star" (or, well, "argument")

xahteiwi,
@xahteiwi@mastodon.social avatar

@freezombie I deliberately left in that ambiguity (compare how some physicists differ in their pronunciation of "quarks").

I think @sheena just moved her laptop off the podium and onto the desk specifically so she could make eye contact with the full audience.

That's an excellent move.

@xahteiwi@mastodon.social avatar

Re @sheena's reply to @EvilDMP's question, I wrote a thing about that!

Also the bit @sheena mentioned about how teaching others is the best way to learn something, here's Russell Ackoff on exactly that. (Among many other things, that is; the whole talk is extremely useful.)

@xahteiwi @pietroppeter The war correspondent look, although I might be getting that exclusively from Martin Bell.

The fact that the conference network's DNS server is returning NXDOMAIN on reveal-multiplex.glitch.me is messing with my reveal.js slide deck today.

@johanneskastl@digitalcourage.social avatar

@xahteiwi Using another DNS Server does not help?

xahteiwi,
@xahteiwi@mastodon.social avatar

@johanneskastl It does, but I can't really tell attendees to reconfigure DNS on all their devices. 😁

"I have the artistic sensibility of a rock" is actually a great way to prefix a question about the interpretation of an artwork.

It's like "explain like I'm 5", just being more respectful of five-year-olds.

"Make the Tories history" is not a bad message.

(Seen in a photograph in @EvilDMP's keynote slide deck.)

If you're listening to a talk and there's a podium, which of the following do you prefer as a listener in the room?

(This is a question of preference, not a "right/wrong" question. Boosts OK.)

janpipek,
@janpipek@mastodonczech.cz avatar

@xahteiwi This really depends on whether you are the person behind the camera recording the talk or not ;-)

xahteiwi,
@xahteiwi@mastodon.social avatar

@janpipek That is absolutely true.

Finally get to see a talk from @EvilDMP in person!

@xahteiwi@mastodon.social avatar

My talk is on today at 0940 UTC/1140 CEST in room Pizza (that's one of the three rooms upstairs, in the hotel's main building).

I've given this talk before; I know it is a good talk. Miss it at your peril. 😀
