ÖPNV | Busfahren, wie auf der Ladefläche eines Pritschenwagens
Ich wollte einmal darauf hinweisen das einer der Gründe das viele selbst da wo der ÖPNV via Bus gut verfügbar und gut gemacht ist, die Verbindung via Bus meiden, da eine Fahrt damit nicht so viel angenehmer als auf der Ladefläche eines Pritschenwagens ist. Gerade bei längeren Strecken im ländlichen Bereich schlägt sich auch das massiv nieder.
Moderne Linienbusse sind in Sachen Barrierefreiheit und Transportkapazität den im ländlichen Bereich früher einmal oft eingesetzten Reisebussen in vielen überlegen, aber eben nicht in allem. Den wenn es um den Fahrkomfort geht, verlieren die modernen Linienbusse auf voller Länge. Da fangen die Busse schon bei kleinen Unebenheiten und schlechter Straße an zu rütteln und zu vibrieren wir irre, daran sich vor oder nach der Arbeit noch ein wenig zu erholen ist nicht zu denken. Das Smartphone, Tablet oder gar Laptop zu benutzen ist oft reine Glückssache und auch die Polsterung der Sitze die einiges abfangen könnte, wird seit vielen Jahren immer mieser. Ja das sind im Endeffekt Luxusprobleme und Überfüllung, ausgefallene Klimatisierung und Heizungen sind schlimmer. Aber das ist eben auch ein Punkt der sehr wichtig ist, wenn man Menschen davon überzeugen will von ihrem bequemen Auto auf den ÖPNV zu wechseln.

Trump wants to forcibly remove the 2,000,000+ Gazans from their homeland and ship them off to some desert country.
The entire population of Gaza would be relocated and the United States would take control of the Palestinian territory under a plan being considered by the Trump regime.

On Wed Trump held a White House meeting with Marco Rubio, Steve Witkoff, Tony Blair and Jared Kushner to discuss ideas for how to relocate two million citizens and profit off the ruins of Gaza
Trump’s vow to own and redevelop Gaza into a new 'Riviera' provided a road map for a group of Israeli businessman.
Michael Eisenberg and Liran Tancman who helped launch the Gaza Humanitarian Foundation (GHF) are now consulting on the 'postwar problem'.

"Educazione affettiva"?
Di tutte le parole magiche che circolano nel dibattito pubblico, una delle più abusate e al tempo stesso più vaghe è “educazione affettiva”.Uriel Fanelli (Das Böse Büro)
Un campo di rieducazione per me è ciò che fanno (stando alle informazioni che arrivano qui...) i cinesi. Io alludevo vagamente a qualcosa che non si è mai visto qui (forse?), una specie di "sabato fascista" per adulti, ovviamente ben conscio che non sia una gran bella proposta e ovviamente come tutti gli altri non sarebbe risolutiva.
Die Hard Trilogy (1997) for the SEGA Saturn.
Not to be confused with Die Hard Arcade—that one’s a beat-‘em-up. Trilogy is something else entirely: three completely different games on one disc, all playable with a light gun, and all wildly ambitious for the time.
You get a third-person shooter set inside Nakatomi Plaza. Then a chaotic driving game through the streets of New York. And finally, a first-person shooter that throws wave after wave of enemies at you until your trigger finger begs for mercy.
Also: yes, these Sega Saturn long boxes are fragile and oversized. But when they’re lined up on a shelf? Nothing looks better.

Rachel Reeves is under pressure to “go big” on tax reform. But adding a council tax band or tinkering with stamp duty isn’t real reform — it’s cowardice.
Vox Political says: now is the moment to be bold.
Tax wealth
Tax unearned income
Replace outdated council tax
A fair system means the wealthy contribute properly while workers and renters are no longer punished.
That’s how we rebuild Britain.

Das Bild zeigt eine öffentliche Veranstaltung in einer städtischen Umgebung. Im Vordergrund liegt ein großes Stadtplan mit verschiedenen Markierungen und Texten, die wahrscheinlich Informationen oder Anweisungen enthalten. Eine Frau in einem rosa T-Shirt und Jeans steht auf einem Gehweg und liest ein Blatt Papier. Hinter ihr befindet sich ein Tisch mit einem pinken Tuch, auf dem mehrere pinkfarbene Banner mit Texten angeordnet sind. Im Hintergrund sind Bäume, ein Gebäude und ein Fahrrad mit einem Kinderwagen zu sehen. Ein Schild mit Richtungen zeigt verschiedene Orte an. Die Szene wirkt informell und offiziell zugleich, möglicherweise Teil einer lokalen Initiative oder Veranstaltung.

Lightning Talks On Time, With This Device
Ask a Hackaday scribe who’s helped run the lightning talks at one of our events, and they’ll tell you that keeping the speakers on time is a challenge. Conversely if the staffer is trying to indicate to the speaker how much time they have left, it must be difficult from the podium to keep track while delivering your talk. Fortunately there’s [makeTVee] waiting in the wings with a solution, a cube whose faces each have a custom 5×7 LED matrix on them. The countdown is clear and unambiguous, and should provide no distractions.
The brains behind it all is a XIAO nRF52840 Sense board using the Zephyr RTOS, the LEDs are WS2812s on their own PCBs, and the party piece is only revealed at the end of the countdown. A tilt mechanism triggered by a servo releases a ball bearing down a track, where it hits a telephone bell and provides a very audible reminder to the speaker. The result saw action during the lightning talks at the Hackaday Europe event earlier in the year, but it’s taken a while for the write-up to make it online.

'I don't remember': MN Republican suddenly forgets voting against school safety bill
Following a mass shooting in Minnesota, Rep. Tom Emmer (R-MN) insisted he couldn't remember why he opposed a bill to increase school safety.
In a Sunday interview on ABC, Emmer attacked Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz (D) for not giving schools enough resources to prevent a shooting that killed two children in Minneapolis last week.
"It's going to be very important that the schools have the resources," he said.
"You talk about what can be done," host Martha Raddatz noted. "After mass shootings in Buffalo and in Uvalde, Texas, Congress passed the Bipartisan Safer Communities Act. It provided hundreds of millions of dollars for schools to expand mental health services, enhance safety measures. You did not vote for that bill. Why?"
"I don't remember the reasons that I didn't vote for that bill," Emmer replied. "I got to tell you, we did a lot for Uvalde, but you can't replace those children, Martha, you can't. And you can't help that community. We're talking about getting on the front end, Martha. We're talking about we need to have the resources."
"This bill sounds like it might have done that," Raddatz pointed out.

This month was kinda intense but heartwarming, hosting and reading the German Phantastik Prompts and putting out their Fantastic Prompts English counterpart made it clear to me why I stick to three dailies and don't do a fourth.
I loved seeing all the different answers and loved interacting as much as I did even if I wish I would have answered more of them.
Hind sight I would say I would do it again on a maybe smaller scale.
I love that the German writing community picks it up on a voluntary basis and we managed so many different hosts so far.
I now have a way deeper understanding and respect for all the wonderful people who put out their prompts daily, weekly or so regularly.
This month also had me struggling emotionally private but also absolute highlights like the cross over Art work @art_of_goulwenr did.
Simply: I love Mastodon more than I ever did with other social media and it really feels social.
Thanks again everyone.🙏🏿💚

The QR code is black and white, with a complex pattern of squares and rectangles. Below the QR code, there is text in German that reads "Scannen, um der Gruppe 'zentonic δ' beizutreten," which translates to "Scan to join the group 'zentonic δ'." The background of the image is a light gray color, and the overall design is simple and clean, focusing on the QR code and the accompanying text.
