NS has published the price list for 2026.
Interestingly, they charge (like in 2021) different surcharge for the first class during weekday (80 %) and weekends (40 %) in place of flat 70% surcharge.
This means that travelling first class in the weekend will get cheaper next year. That being said, the monthly surcharge for Weekend Vrij 1st class increases from € 10 to € 10,45. I fail to see the logic there.

Oh and they are cancelling Altijd Voordeel and Weekend Voordeel plans, because "offer was too wide and confusing." 🙄

Fine, so occasional weekend traveller who does not have time to travel during the week is now forced to pay € 6,35 in place of € 2,35 per month. This is outrageous. #ns

Auch heute leider wieder im Deutschlandfunk: „Das sogenannte Verbrennerverbot“. Nein, die Gegner einer Schadstofffreiheit nennen das so und ihr übernehmt Kampfbegriff.„Anders als Deutschland lehnen Frankreich und Spanien mehr Technologieoffenheit ab“. Nein, die EU-Verordnung ist maximal technologieoffen. Was die Verbrenner-Fans wollen: Ausnahmeregelungen für ihre veraltete Technologie, weil diese keine Schadstofffreiheit erreichen kann.

Sorry, aber Ihr müsst journalistisch sauberer arbeiten

Bidenomics: Truly Transitory Inflation, Remarkably Successful on Employment & Growth—But Unable to Break Through the Media Misinformation Machine
My attempt to set forth a balance sheet: Bidenomics was an extraordinary success. The economy healed fast; the story never did. A brief moderate transitory inflation. A long and strong jobs and structural reorientation boom. But the dominance of the misinformation machine: where Biden-Powell reattained full employment…

Etwas, das mich in letzter Zeit sehr beschäftigt ist, ob ein professioneller Umgang im Arbeitskontext zwangsläufig damit einher geht, Sich selbst in eine Decke aus Diplomatie einzuwickeln. Hintergrund: Ich mache zunehmend die Erfahrung, dass sich Menschen auch bei interner Kommunikation echt schnell auf die Füße getreten fühlen, wenn man Missstände anspricht.

More people have died in ICE custody in last 9 months than in the entire prior 4 years.

We hear of a few, but most barely make the news.

Cases like Randall Alberto Gamboa Esquivel.

He was in perfect health when ICE detained him.

He disappeared in June & by August was in a vegetative state.

ICE deported him anyways.

They literally put a man who was at death’s door on a plane to Costa Rica.

Doctors there found he had encephalopathy, rhabdomyolysis and the inability to eat on his own.

What happened to him in ICE custody to cause this?

He died a few weeks after deportation:

ICE enforcement may be a mass disabling event.

Disease is rampant in the camps.

Disabled people report having their medical needs ignored and their conditions drastically worsened.

The indiscriminate use of chemical weapons and violence causes harm.

Abolish ICE.

I know people are nostalgic about film, but using a bunch of chemicals and letting some rando in some shop see all your photos is objectively worse.

Now if only people would have proper privacy on their digital devices!

In other news, it's super fascinating how film is actually made!

Lastly, I have a Pentax Spotmatic camera with four lenses, case, all the extras available for sale to a good home. One lens is even the desirable japanese radioactive one!

I’ve always had a problem with the idea of paying a monthly subscription to access some aspect of hardware that I have purchased. This is why I do not use certain daws or plugins no matter what they seem to offer. If I spend money and time in an initial investment with no support necessary in order to use the software, then all is well. To be clear, I’m not discouraging anyone from attempting to make passive income from their efforts. (1/2)

Flathub and Snap: healthy competition as far as a community vs company-led project can go, we acknowledge mutual existence and move on

Fedora: gugu gaga aiiieeeeeeeeeeeeeee

If you are not yet convinced that Fedora Flatpaks is a hostile 'alternative' to Flathub, here's a good one for you:

An indeterminate amount of their packages are, in fact, directly based on existing manifests from Flathub. Not by manually inspecting code themselves; rather, by running a script which goes through Flathub's APIs and parses the respective apps' manifest to generate manifests for Fedora Flatpaks: pagure.io/flatpak-module-tools…

All this, without crediting the original authors.

@gabrielag9846:

Food banker here with an IMPORTANT MESSAGE: You listening? PLEASE DO NOT use your money to buy cheap food for the food banks or pantries. Just give them that money. I'm 100% serious. Food banks, especially the really organized ones, can get WAY more for the dollar than any individual can, unless you're literally ordering by the truckload from a manufacturer like we are. Feeding America has a whole purchasing network with negotiated prices that make this system work. Also, every time you buy and donate random food items, it creates work for the food bank/pantry. We need to inspect it for safety, sort it into categories, and then work it into inventory. If you donate money, we use it to buy much more food, and we intentionally purchase based on what kind of item is needed. It can also be used to put fuel in the trucks that gets the food to its ultimate destination.
We absolutely do appreciate every donation, and we use items donated from food drives and individuals every day. But look at it this way: You can buy a 5-lb sack of potatoes for $3.00, for example. I can get them for 50 cents per sack because my organization has negotiated the price with the distributor and ordered 10 pallets of them. We need every kind of support we can get right now, but PLEASE let us do the smart shopping

I sometimes here liberal apologists and defenders of wealth inequality point out that the rich live just like the rest of us, there's no big distinction in the bundles of goods we have access to. We eat the same things, use the same computers, sleep in the same beds.

Setting aside for a moment whether this is true (I personally don't have a private plane or a yacht) granting the hypothesis opens up a question:

So if wealth doesn't actually get you anything substantially better, how is it an incentive?

Because, those same liberal apologists keep telling us without the enormous incentives to the rich, they would not contribute their prodigious amoutns of value to our economies.

But they just told us they don't get anything meanignful back from it.

So what's going on?

This argument is self-defeating. Either wealth gives rich people something substantial (and therefore wealth inequality means most go without whatever that is, and therefore must be removed), or wealth does not give anything substantial and is not an adequate incentive, so it may as well be removed.
