That is of course true, but...

Americans habe a right to have their own things as well. Not everything they do needs to be global. If someone from there wants to ask other Americans or just other US residents a question and they prefix it with "Americans of Lemmy" or "US residents in Lemmy", I think that's fine.

And similarly, if an European person has a thought they know os connected to them living in Europe, it makes sense that they direct their questions to Europeans.

What I hate is when people talk like "what do you think about", but actually means for the question to be a answered by US residents only, or talk on an international forum as if there was a leftist party in US congress or senate. If you want to ask a US-centric or Japan-centric or Eurocentric question, then by all means, go for it, in my opinion – as long as the question is clearly marked as such.

And this one is.

What country did this happen in?

[-] [email protected] 1 points 11 hours ago

I wouldn't say the Russia's shitholeness has to do with westernisation. But, I can guess what was meant.

When the Russia became capitalist, almost nobody had any idea of the value of property. The factories became private property of their workers, but there could have been 1000 workers in a factory and people were like "what the hell am I gonna do with a paper proving that I own 0.1 % of a factory?!"

And then there were people who were driving around with a van full of vodka bottles. You handed out a bottle of vodka, you got a share. So, a full factory cost you one thousand bottles of vodka, and that's it. Or actually, 501 bottles of vodka, because a majority was enough. And even less, because most people didn't come to the meetings to vote, so you didn't really need more than a handful of shares to start making decisions that helped you gain a lot more influence.

The Russians thought that if they just have capitalism, then everything will soon be good. And Europe and USA were okay with that rather moronic thought, not really doing much anything to warn them that they are about to crash head first against a wall. Also, I think that especially in USA there were people interested in seeing what happens if a country tries to go fully capitalist with no state controls whatsoever.

It's a bit bonkers saying that is "westernization", as there are many western countries and only one actually has a system even somewhat like that of USA. So, maybe you could say that the Russia is a shithole because of americanisation (one done horribly badly), and that's almost surely what was meant with "because of westernisation".

But indeed: In the 1990's people in the Russia did those stupid decisions because they wanted to become a part of the west. And that failed. And instead of looking at what had gone wrong, the majority there just decided: "It's the west's fault! They did this to us!"

In year 1998 there was a huge amount of inflation, and basically, if you had enough money on your bank account to buy a house in January 1998, in December 1998 you were barely able to buy a loaf of bread with that money, as all money in the Russia lost something like 99.999% of its value in 1998. That was a horrible time, and the only year more horrible than that in the history of the Russia is 2026 (or maybe 2027).

But, when enough people are cut from the fascist instances' communities, then

  1. people are more motivated to found alternative communities elsewhere and
  2. the people admining the communities are more likely to move to some decent instance.

So, to bootstrap some conversation, here's another post. What kind of things have you experiences while hitchhiking? Some might have seen more than me, some might have seen less than me, but it would be interesting to know what were your most interesting hitchhiking rides and experiences!

Some things that have happened to me...

Well, I did hitchhike from Finland to China, and then went 70 % by hitchhiking and 30 % by bus and train onwards from China to India. Living in a tent, cooking my food on the fire every morning and evening. I'll need to do something like that again in some 15-ish years or so.

During that trip I got three times a ride from long distance buses in public traffic. All other passengers were paying, but I was simply taken aboard for free. Except, one of the times was apparently a communication mishap, as the driver would have wanted money from me when I was alighting the bus. But, I had shown my thumb and he absolutely must have known there what it means. I told them that, wished them wide roads and went my way.

Then, I've had two rides in old Soviet bukhanka-style ambulances (or, well, shvidka dopomoha, but ambulance is the best translation for it) They are such weird things! Kind of ambulances, but more like a transport for a doctor to get to the patients' homes that can double as an ambulance in a pinch. The equipment was one suitcase of some medical stuff, and a kind of a bed that was about 120 cm long and maybe 40 cm wide. Otherwise it was just empty.

In Kazakhstan policemen kept blowing their whistles, telling me to come to them. They asked about who I am and what I'm doing, and after hearing that I'm a Finn on the way to China by hitchhiking, they just wanted to take selfies. Later I've learned that they actually had apparently been planning to invent a pretext for asking for bribes, but changed their minds when they heard about my trip.

Then, also in Kazakhstan, I had managed to pitch my tent into an area with a military exercise while waiting for my Chinese visa to be ready. The first four days were okay, but on the last day, the fifth, the excercise began. They arrived by a helicopter to check what the hell I'm doing there. After learning about my travel, they just took some selfies with me. I hitchhiked away from the area on a Chinese-built military truck. I figure they thought first that either I'm a part of the excercise and must be taken seriously, or I am a foreign spy and must be taken seriously. Anyway, now I know how it sounds like when the safety is removed from two assault rifles around the same time. Dum di dum :)

In Spain I've hitchhike across a farmer's field on the stairs/ladder on the side of a tractor.

In Georgia, I got a ride from a tiny tiny trash truck. It had the mechanism for lifting the dumpsters, just like the ones we used to love when we were kids, but it was maybe one third of the size. Such a cute thing!

And then I've managed to ask for rides in surprising places. Got a ride for a guest of mine by asking a random truck at a parking area a bit outside the center of the city. They told they were about to leave at 6:30 in the morning, so we arranged for my guest to get back to that place by that time. And they indeed got the ride for the first 100 km! As it typically takes me in the ballpark of four hours to leave Helsinki, I'd say that was a very very useful ride!

And some other cases where I've been told by the driver that they're having a pause and have managed to agree to go pitch my tent somewhere and come back in the morning at an agreed time. I've gotten a few rides of over 1000 km that way.

Once I got a ride from a van that had an express delivery to Scotland. Something that couldn't be transported by plane and had to be a the destination basically "by yesterday, if possible". The driver picked me up at the harbour exit in the centre of Tallinn and brought me to the German border. We had our first pause in Poland, just after the border for about 40 minutes. And somewhere around Poznań, another 40-minute pause. Those were used sleeping. Otherwise it was just drive-drive-drive. They would have been happy to bring me all the way to Scotland, had I had a need for it. But, somewhere near Przystanek Woodstock was all I needed :)

Some weird cargoes in trucks: One was coming empty from Varkaus, after having brought mixed waste from Helsinki. The landfill in Varkaus has so much cheaper rates than the one in Helsinki that the 320 km drive per direction consuming the salary of a driver for the whole day "makes sense" economically.

And then I got a ride on a truck somewhat south of Kuopio. It was filled by cheese en route to Canada. I wonder, do they not have cows in Canada? Finland doesn't really produce such special cheeses that it would make real sense bringing them halfway around the planet. Of course, good for Finland's economy, but... wut? The way I got that ride was also interesting:

  • "Hey! You live in <name of district where I worked in Helsinki, right?"
  • Yes? Why?
  • I'm trying to hitchhike to Helsinki. Are you maybe going home and could take me with you?
  • Well, why not? Hop on in! On the way, on a longer stretch of straight road, the driver then just abruptly stood up on his seat and started rummaging through a shelf above the windshield. I asked what they are looking for.
  • The coffee machine. I want to make some coffee. You want some as well?
  • What if we do this so that, since I'm around and can help you, I'll just do the coffee making?
  • Okay. So, the coffee machine is in the far left of the shelf. It's a small one. Take it and plug it to that socket.
  • Now, take the filters They are in the very right end of the shelf. Good. Next, take the coffee. It's around the middle of the shelf. Measure four measures of coffee. Then, there's water in (I've forgotten where). Add that to the coffee maker.
  • (5 minutes later:)
  • So, now open the passenger side door. On the second step, there is a litre of milk. Give me that.

So, I open the door, lean a bit outside the truck, pick the milk and give it to the driver. I didn't ask, but I'm still wondering... Was he actually planning to go and open the passenger side door while the truck was running at 80 km/h?! Does he do that often? Wut-wut-wut?

There might be more, but these are what come to my mind right now.

Ah, of course there have been a ton of conversations where I've learned about a million different professions. Some things I liked were the beekeeper who spend a few hours telling me about bees and beekeeping. I'm quite happy to know all that. It's fascinating information! And then, there have been a few guys whose job is to escort oversize trucks. There's also so much more to that job than one would ever imagine!

How was the experience?

[-] [email protected] 3 points 14 hours ago

I don't think I've seen a hitchhiker in the last 10 years when on the way by car with my family or so.

But, interestingly, you do see the occassional hitchhiker when you're hitchhiking yourself. That probably has to do with a hitchhiking person typically being in a hitchhiking spot about when it's a good time to hitchhike, so they are there just at the correct time to meet each other.

But also: It's kind of good that we cannot see each other. After all, that means we've gotten rides and are in some cars going somewhere :)

I just started teaching hitchhiking to my child. It turned out to be a surprisingly good way of teaching what's bad about people and what's good about people at the same time! Telling of why they cannot hitchhike alone yet, and how I am cautious (but not too precisely, because I don't want to give them the feeling of "I can handle it!" for a lot of years still.

I feel, the society is at the moment so emotionless and cold that it is unlikely to have other ways to go than up, in the longer term. I think how seldom we see hitchhikers is partially caused by that coldness as well. People don't feel like being a part of the same society with others, so the whole concept of hitchhiking might feel more foreign to them than it otherwise would.

Putin does understand English very well, though. He will speak only through an interpreter, but doesn't need it for understanding what others say.

One reason he uses an interpreter is that while the interpreter is translating, he has extra time for formulating his answer, as he doesn't need to actually listen to the interpreter.

Germany is making AFD's life more difficult –> JD Vance is unhappy –> USA concludes that Germany has human rights issues and the issues are that AFD has become more active and Germany should have prevented that from happening. Okay.

Maybe USA should decide whether it's a problem to let AFD do its stuff or if it is a problem to not let AFzs do its stuff? 🙃

If I understand correctly based on a map and Wikipedia, the concept of "a lot of people" does not exist in North Dakota, though.

I had never heard of the city of Bismarck, their state capital of more than 70 thousand inhabitants, a bit over 10% of the state's population. But, now I do. I also had not thought there can be a state capital with that little population. (And then this made me curious and I learned that in Germany the smallest state capital is Schwerin, in the state of Mecklenburg-Vorpommern, and it has about 98 000 inhabitants in a state of 1½ million inhabitants.)

Tässäpä melkoisen mainio uutinen suomalaisten kannalta! Baselista alkaa ensi keväänä kulkea yöjuna kolmena päivänä viikossa Malmöön asti, mikä tekee Ruotsin läpi ehtimisestä laivan saavuttua paljon rennompaa. Samoin uskoisin, että tältä yhteydeltä ehtii varsin vaivatta Turkuun vievälle iltalaivalle. Kunnolla lipunmyyntiä vaan tuohon, niin saataneen tuosta ihan päivittäinenkin?

Hampuri–Berliini-rautatie remontissa 1.8.25–30.4.26 (generalsanierung.db-ersatzverkehr.de)
submitted 1 month ago by [email protected] to c/[email protected]

Saksan rautatiet peruskunnostaa rataosuuden Hampuri–Berliini, minkä takia kyseinen rata on pitkän aikaa kokonaan poissa käytöstä.

Kaukoliikenne käyttää kiertoreittejä, taajamajunat korvataan pitkälti busseilla. Oheisen linkin kartassa on hyvä huomata, että muita ratoja käyttävät taajamajunayhteydet on merkitty harmailla heti vaihtoaseman jälkeen päättyvillä viivoilla. Esim. se, että Perlebergissä voi vaihtaa RE6-junaan, on ihan relevantti tieto. Toisaalta relevantti on myös, että kyseinen RE6 lähtee ensin melko suoraan linnuntietä kohti Suomea, ajaen sitten Berliiniin siksak-reittiä, joka kestää 2h 31min, eli varsinaisesti Berliiniin matkaavalle on parempi idea jatkaa bussilla ihan Berliiniin asti.

Berliinin ja Hampurin välisten ICE-junien aikataulu muuttuu yllättävän vähän: Nykyinen matka-aika on reilut 2h, uusi matka-aika on vähän yli 2h 30min. Puoli tuntia on melko pieni muutos. Johtunee siitä, että Stendalista eteenpäin junat pääsevät paahtamaan Ruhr–Berliini-suurnopeusrataa.

SJ:n aikatauluhausta katsoen yöjuna Tukholma–Berliini jatkaa kulkuaan, mutta saapuu Berliiniin vasta 10:31, kun nykyinen saapumisaika on 9:17. Vastaavasti sen uusi lähtöaika Berliinistä on 17:31, kun se nykyisellään lähtee 18:40.

SJ:llä Hampurin saapumisaika aikaistuu kahdella minuutilla, ollen 5:58 kun se nykyään on 6:00. Ratatöiden aikainen lähtöaika Hampurista Tukholmaan, 22:03, ei muutu.

Snälltågetilla nykyinen saapuminen Berliiniin 7:45 on ratatöiden aikana 9:18, eli se on ilmeisesti sujautettu Berliinin asemalla SJ:n junalta vapautuneeseen slottiin. Lähtöaika Berliinistä on ratatöiden aikana Snälltågetilla 20:10, kun se nykyisellään on 21:10. Hampurin ajat 5:31 ja 23:59 eivät muutu.

Flixbusin hakuun on ilmestynyt uusia kohteita elokuusta lähtien.

Reitit, jotka löydän elokuulle:

  • Imatra–Joutseno–Lappeenranta–Taavetti–Kouvola–Helsinki–Tallinna–Pärnu
  • Hamina–Kotka–Porvoo–Helsinki–Tallinna–Pärnu.
  • Pori–Tampere–Seutula–Helsinki–Tallinna–Pärnu
  • Vaasa–Pori–Huittinen–Forssa–Vihti–Helsinki–Tallinna–Pärnu
  • Rauma–Turku–Helsinki–Tallinna–Pärnu
  • Vaasa–Närpiö–Pori–Rauma–Turku–Helsinki–Tallinna–Pärnu
  • Vaasa–Närpiö–Pori–Rauma–Raisio–Turku–Salo–Espoo–Helsinki–Tallinna–Pärnu–Riika–...–Kaunas–...–Varsova
  • Rovaniemi–Oulu–Jyväskylä–Lahti–Seutula–Helsinki–Tallinna–Pärnu (yöbussi)
  • Rovaniemi–Kemi–Oulu–Jyväskylä–Heinola–Lahti–Seutula–Helsinki–Tallinna–Pärnu–Riika–...–Vilna–Alytus–...–Varsova–Kielce–Krakova
  • Joensuu–Kuopio–Jyväskylä–Lahti–Seutula–Helsinki–Tallinna–Pärnu
  • Joensuu–Kuopio–Jyväskylä–Heinola–Lahti–Seutula–Helsinki–Tallinna–Pärnu–Riika–...–Kaunas–...–Varsova
  • Vaasa–Tampere–Helsinki–Tallinna–Pärnu
  • Tampere–Hämeenlinna–Hyvinkää–Nurmijärvi–Seutula–Helsinki–Tallinna–Pärnu–Riika–Vilna
  • Tampere–Seutula–Pasila–Helsinki–Tallinna–Pärnu
  • Turku–Helsinki–Tallinna–Pärnu
  • Turku–Seutula–Helsinki–Tallinna–Pärnu

Suomen sisäisiä vaihtoyhteyksiä löytyy hämmentävän vähän, kun reittejä on kuitenkin muuten näinkin paljon!

Kouvolan suunnasta tulevista busseista yksi saapuu Pärnuun ilahduttavasti klo 3:35 aamuyöllä, eli tarkoitus lienee ainakin sen osalta myöhemmin jatkaa linja Latvian läpi jonnekin, mutta Latvian viranomaiset eivät ilmeisesti ole vielä antaneet reitille hyväksyntää.

Paikkoja joita hausta ei lainkaan löydy, vaikka olettaisi: Seinäjoki, Kokkola, Savonlinna, Kajaani, Tornio, Mikkeli. Kun hakee reittejä Pärnua kauemmas, vaihtoasemaksi tulee ilmeisesti aina Pärnu. Tekee Pärnusta aika lailla nykyistä tärkeämmän vaihtoaseman!

Heip! Olisi noin 4-6 päivää aikaa Sisiliassa ja/tai Calabriassa. Ehkä mieluiten lähellä Calabriaa olevissa osissa Sisiliaa, mutta toki laajemmaltakin alueelta vinkit käyvät.

Matkustamassa olisi kaksi ihmistä, joista nuorempi on iältään 7. Kivoja asioita ovat näkymät korkealta, näkymät mereltä, sekä kaupungit jotka ovat hyvin erilaisia kuin Suomessa ja joissa on jotain erityistä mielenkiintoista. Myös rauhalliset kylät kiinnostaisivat! Tavoitteena olisi saada kohtalaisen kattava käsitys sikäläisestä tavasta elää, mutta mieluummin pitäen reissu kiireettömänä kuin yrittäen nähdä kaikki mitä nähtävissä ehkä olisi.

Viron Elronilla on hallinnassaan 16 kappaletta Vilna–Riika-junan paikkoja. (Paikat 37, 38, 41, 42, 45, 46, 49, 50, 53, 54, 57, 58, 61, 62, 69 ja 70.) Paikat muuten ovat kaikki junan lännenpuoleisella laidalla, mikä on jotenkin hupaisa ominaisuus. Suurin osa keskimmäisen vaunun lännenpuoleisista paikoista siis on joko tyhjillään tai täytetty Viroon/Virosta matkustavilla, käytävän itäpuolella taas on sitten myös Liettuan sisäisiä matkoja tekeviä sekä Liettuasta Latviaan matkaavia.

Noita 16 paikkaa ei myydä mitään muuta kautta kuin Elronin nettisivuilla. Eli, jos haluat tuohon junaan liput vaikka välille Vilna–Šiauliai, mutta ne on myyty loppuun, voit melko hyvällä todennäköisyydellä saada vielä liput välille Vilna–Elva hintaan 27,10 €. Elva on siis lähinnä Vilnaa oleva paikka, johon Elronilta voi ostaa tuohon junaan lipun, eli halvin tarjolla oleva lippu. Se toki maksaa enemmän kuin pelkkä Vilna–Šiauliai, joka maksaisi tuossa junassa 16,80 €. Mutta 27 euroa lipusta joka on saatavilla on parempi hinta kuin 17 euroa lipusta, jota ei voi ostaa.

Euroopan sivistysmaiden ja Unkarin rautatieyhtiöt ovat näemmä pari vuotta sitten tehneet sopimuksen, nimeltään AJC, jolla määritellään ehdot, joilla matkustaja voi jatkaa toisella junalla ilman isompia byrokratioita, jos hänen aiempi junansa on myöhässä.

Vaatimuksena on, että kyseessä on kansainvälinen yhteys, että sekä saapuva että yhteyttä jatkava juna ovat sopimuksen piirissä ja että jatkojuna on saman firman ajama kuin alunperin suunniteltu jatkojuna.

Oikeus jatkamiseen ei ole automaattinen, vaan asia on käytävä hyväksyttämässä joko aseman asiakaspalvelupisteellä tai jatkojunan konduktööriltä. AJC suojaa siis yhteyden katkeamiselta myös tilanteessa, jossa matkustaja on itse ostanut liput kahtena eri maksutapahtumana, jopa ehkä aivan eri nettisivuilta.

Oheiseen karttaan merkitsin tummansinisellä Euroopan sivistyneet maat sekä Unkarin, eli ne maat, joiden rautatieyhtiöt ovat mukana AJC-sopimuksessa. Puolan kohdalla on hyvä huomioida, että sieltä sopimuksessa on mukana vain PKPIC, mutta toinen melko paljon kaukojunia Puolassa operoiva yhtiö, läänien omistama PR, ei ole AJC-sopimuksessa mukana.

Ensi vuodenvaihteen Tšekin sisäisissä aikatauluissa näkyy junilla merkintöjä "Ze stanice: Kobenhavn" ja "Do stanice: Kobenhavn", jotka tarkoittavat "Juna tulee Kööpenhaminasta" ja "Juna jatkaa Kööpenhaminaan".

Aikatauluissa näkyy noiden junien kulku vain Tšekin osalta ja lisäksi on merkintä, että "junan ratakapasiteettihakemusta Saksan ja Tanskan alueella ei ole vielä käsitelty", mutta paljon voidaan päätellä nykyisten aikataulujen pohjalta. Puhtaana ajoaikanahan Praha–Kööpenhamina kestää tällä hetkellä 11½ tuntia.

Siitä voidaan laskea seuraavat aikataulut, jotka pitävät melko hyvin kutinsa:

  • Kööpenhamina ~5:00 – Praha 17:25
  • Kööpenhamina ~9:00 – Praha 21:25 🇫🇮
  • Kööpenhamina ~0:00 – Praha 11:25
  • Praha 6:31 – Kööpenhamina ~18:00 🇫🇮
  • Praha 10:31 – Kööpenhamina ~22:00
  • Praha 16:31 – Kööpenhamina ~04:00

Näistä eteläsuomalaisten kannalta oikeasti matkaa nykyiseen verrattuna nopeuttavia ovat nuo kaksi, jotka merkitsin Suomen lipulla. Niistä muodostuu tällaiset matkaketjut Helsingistä lähteville tai tänne jostain syystä halajaville:

  • 5:28 Helsinki – 7:39 Turku Satama
  • 8:45 Turku – 18:55 Tukholma
  • 23:17 Tukholma – Malmö 6:59+
  • 7:**+ Malmö – ~8:00+ Kööpenhamina
  • 9:00+ Kööpenhamina - Praha 21:25+

  • 6:31 Praha – 18:00 Kööpenhamina
  • 18:** Kööpenhamina – ~19:00 Malmö
  • 22:17 Malmö – 5:53 Tukholma
  • 7:45 Tukholma – 19:50 Turku
  • 20:30 Turku Satama – 23:10 Helsinki

Manselaisille vastaavat ovat:

  • 20:20 Turku Satama – 22.58 Tampere
  • 5:50 Tampere – 7:52 Turku Satama (On muuten tiukka vaihto! Mutta, tuo juna on kai ihan kiitettävän täsmällinen?)

Ja heh, tuo 7:52 saapuva on yöjuna Kemijärvi–Turku. Eli, sen myötä muodostuu myös yhteys Ylivieskasta Prahaan, lähtöaikana 1:07 puolenyön jälkeen. Sitten yö junassa, päivä laivalla kauniissa saaristossa, ja taas yö junassa. Kätevää! Paluumatkalla juna on kaikkialla liian aikaisin, mutta toki voi käydä koukkaamassa Pasilan aseman kautta myöhempään junaan päästäkseen. Mikähän järki siinä on, ettei Turusta ole suoravaunuyhteyttä Ouluun järkevällä aikataululla? Ihan hyvinhän tuon Turku–Tampere-junan vaunuista yksi voisi jäädä Tampereelle makoilemaan siihen asti, että tuo myöhäisempi Helsinki–Rovaniemi-juna kömpii nappaamaan sen mukaansa.

Ja sitten: Torniolaiset toki voivat lompsia 7:12 Haaparannalta lähtevään yhteyteen, jolla ehtii tuohon Tukholma–Malmö-junaan. Tornio on siis kolmisen tuntia lähempänä Prahaa kuin Helsinki on. Vastaavasti paluusuunnassa siitä Malmö–Tukholma-yöjunasta ehtii Haaparannalle klo 18:40. Tornio-itäisestä sitten lähtee joinakin päivinä klo 22:16 (21:16 Ruotsin aikaa) juna, joka saapuu Ouluun klo 0:10. Edelleen: Oulusta voi lähteä miellyttävään aikaan, eli 4:52 aamuyöllä, junalla Kemiin, josta pääsee bussilla Haaparantaan ajoissa ehtiäkseen tuohon yhteyteen. Jos myöhästyy 23:53 Turkuun lähtevästä yöjunasta, ehtii vielä kiepsahtaa lahden ympäri ja ehtiä ajoissa samaan junaan Tukholmassa, johon ajoissa junalle Oulussa ehtineet kaverit nousevat :)

Suunnittelen tässä syksyistä matkaa. Tällä hetkellä näyttää, että jos haluan mennä niin etelään kuin olen ajatellut, on pakko käyttää useampaakin yöjunaa.

Ne olisivat:

  • Tukholma–Hampuri
  • Torino–Napoli/Salerno
  • Palermo/Messina–Milano
  • Zürich–Wien

Osaisiko joku sanoa, mitkä noiden hinnat ovat nykyään, jos plakkarissa on ennestään Interrail-lippu? Jos menemme jaetussa hytissä, se saa ihan hyvin olla lepovaunuhytti. Jos taas omassa, niin kaipa kiinnostaisi sekä makuu- että lepovaunuhytin hinta? Matkustajia on kaksi, joista toinen on aikuinen ja toinen 7-vee.

Flixbus/-train on tilannut 30 kpl 230 km/h nopeuteen kykeneviä junia, ja niiden lisäksi sopinut option 35 lisäjunalle. Ensimmäisessä vaiheessa niissä on varustus Ruotsin, Tanskan, Saksan, Alankomaiden ja Itävallan rataverkoille. Tuo tarkoittaa, että junalle tehdään kaikissa noissa maissa melko kalliit hyväksytyskoeajot, mitä ei siis tehdä turhan päiten. Odotettavissa siis Flixjuna Ruotsista Saksaan ja edelleen jonnekin – ehkä Alankomaihin? Jos ei suorana, niin hyvin todennäköisesti ainakin vaihdollisena yhteytenä.

Kaikkien 65 junan ostaminen tarkoittaisi kai noin 20-30 junalinjaa, riippuen siitä miten paljon nuo haluavat varakalustoa. Yhden junan hinta tässä hankinnassa on n. 35 miljoonaa euroa. Sopimukseen kuuluu 15-vuotinen huoltosopimus, jonka sisältymisestä hintaan aiheesta tehdyissä uutisissa ei ollut mainintaa.

I keep hearing of people who have used Lemmy for a few days or a few weeks and want to start using a mobile version – often Voyager.

They open Voyager for the first time, and get a screen with a button for logging in. They get a choice for which Lemmy instance to join, but no place for entering their existing username or password.

I've told them that "in the first screen there is a button that is very difficult to notice, allowing you to use a pre-existing Lemmy username. Find that semi-hidden button, click it, and you can login."

It is of course a working workaround to pre-emptively tell people that the button exists, is just very well hidden, and needs to be clicked by most people who download Voyager. But still, it would be cool if the screen for new users could be altered so that the ability to log in with a pre-existing username was equally visible as the choice to create a new account!
