@aetios Aety at customs:

Do you have anything to declare?

Off to Basel SBB. So far the trains have been very much on time

Lets See how Deutsche Bahn will do from Basel to Freiburg

Heute wohl Zugfahren mit der Schweizer Armee (off-duty)

Next hop: in Bern.

@snow I think someone got hands on your Pharmacy Ouverte

@aetios prost!

@aetios She said though she was interested!

I have entered ze Puni-Land! (Now in Genf for my next hop; first swiss train today)

Die Gefahr besteht nicht darin, dass „KI“ die Macht übernimmt, sondern darin, dass Menschen ihre Verantwortung an sie und die Tech-Bros abgeben https://evangelische-zeitung.de/chaos-computer-club-zu-ki-maschinenherrschaft-steht-wohl-nicht-bevor/

In the 1990s punk band Green Day were going on tour with their friends Pansy Division, an openly gay punk band. Because of the excessive homophobia of the era, venues did not want a gay band performing at the tour.

So Green Day told the venues to fuck off. They weren’t playing without Pansy Division. The venues gave in and the tour went ahead, and now Pansy Division got the tour they needed.

Here’s the thing: Green Day did not have the clout that they had in the 00s and now. They were fresh, sure, but they certainly didn’t have the clout Ed Sheeran does. And yet, they were willing to sacrifice the dream of any young band — their first, big, domestic tour after a hit album — because they did not want to be complicit in homophobic rhetoric by kicking their friends off the tour.

You see the parallels here? Friends stick up for their friends, even if it materially affects them. Green Day would have rather get kicked back into obscurity than become a household name on the backs of the oppressed. Green Day had literally everything to lose if the venues didn’t back down, whereas Ed Sheeran has nothing to lose.

time for some gaming.

First train for the day a TER (french regional train) to Genève.

@puniko comfy day

Doing 4 trains today even. 1 french, 2 swiss and 1 german train. Lets see if Deutsche Bahn is again the only carrier to be dogshit.

@aetios @Gazimoff I also think phones seemed to have plataued in what they can do or rather what people. No real innovation in the space needed I feel. The hardware also lasts quite well. The thing that made me switch from FP3 was the software-support coming to and end..

Well its time for me to go home. France is nice and I had great hosts in @lyli and her GF who took some time out her day to meet me as well. Its really something I never thought might be possible for me. Then you even get to meet people that "get" me and somehow even enjoy my company.

It is really nice that fedi makes it possible for me to see more of europe like the netherlands and now even france Never thought that could happen. Traveling alone into country you don't really know the language of.

Though it is made worse by the french seemingly not really wanting to speak english if avoidable. The dutch are more welcoming in that regard.

Good I had a nice tour-guide on hand

Europe sure is a nice thing ey? Freely traveling different countries with no problem, being able pay to very easily using the same currency (exceptions apply) And seeing many different cultures and things, meeting people who are different but also have similarities.

I got to experience some really cool stuff. Like being able to show off my most beloved outfit to a person I like talking to about sewing. Eating nice things and having some time to talk to them. Getting to know them better. I really cherish that. Also got to take a boat around Genfer See yesterday.

Though prices in the city we were certainly were... elevated a little. But stuff was tasty and the little cruise (on an electric ferry that was retrofitted!) was cool. The lake was very calm. And seeing the mountains around was cool.

Would recommend visiting Fedi-Friends!

@puniko The answer is 🐊

@rick why?

@mia KDE is just that much cooler with being open and fun

@kura it will still be pink but with more punk flavour. It will be fun
