    What I don’t understand yet: custom ROMs don’t need that dev verification. Everybody cries now, that F-Droid can close shop, if Google comes through. But why? F-Droid would still be the #1 distribution platform for de-googled ROMs. So why this “that would kill F-Droid” sentiment?

    I mean, yep: it is a shitty move by Google, but who expects non-shitty moves from Google these days? Of course they will punish and oppress their customers. That is what Big Tech is here for. If anything we ought to help those users.



  • Problem was IMHO that it wasn’t a midnight train at all. I just wanted to book it recently. Left Paris at 7pm, arrived in Frankfurt at 3am. Like, I could not have dinner in Paris that evening and am stranded in the middle of the night.

    They had (a long time ago) a perfect night train service Frankfurt-Paris, which was always full when I took it. I just think that adjusting times for Frankfurt instead of Vienna and Berlin would have made more sense, as Frankfurt is comparably well connected and central. So you could arrive in Frankfurt at a normal time and be in any other major city early afternoon.
