@nprofile1q... Technically Vivi operates Riga-Valga, renting the train from LTG (there was a news article about this at the start of the service but I can't find it anymore)

@nprofile1q... Riga - Valga is teeechnically a local train (using the same trainset as Vilnius-Riga, but separate train number, operator, etc.)

@nprofile1q... Wait, but SJ doesn't even decide which platform they go to, that's the infrastructure manager's decision? And presumably the same infrastructure manager runs the station and the screens in it?

How would that even happen???

@nprofile1q... where? Can't find any...

Also, you're sure they're not press-fit, somehow?

@nprofile1q... while MPEG as an entity might not be explicitly trying to get money from patents, the members working on MPEG standards do seem to try to fit patents they own into the standards when they are getting defined.

@nprofile1q... oh, it so just happens I'm around Poprad right now. And indeed even though I have to go through Poland, both getting to and coming back from here, I'm going through Czechia because there's nothing decent across the border.

@nprofile1q... LTG only shows stuff they're involved in (so the earlier train).

Zero clue why Vivi is only showing the later one though.

@Blurry Moon @lain @Phantasm linked data databases are all awful, don't

Legitimately, unless you're doing datasets and stuff for OLAP, linked data is just a royal pain in the ass

It's good for datasets and analytical stuff because it's so flexible you can describe any fucking mess the humanity has ever even thought of with enough thought and time.

But flexibility to such degree is the exact opposite from what you want for an operating system - you want to simplify everything as much as viable, because that way you have less different paths everything needs to go through, and it becomes way easier to optimize those paths.

@nprofile1q... mostly a bunch of color stuff because I find it interesting, but there's a ton of stuff that would be useful for "professional production" software/hardware that I might end up looking around for

@Haelwenn /элвэн/ :triskell: @bruh/a1ba sure, and wayland gives you info about that

I just think that people should have limits on what they're willing to solve and I think arbitrary rotation is past any reasonable limits
