is actually turning into quite the interesting phenomenon, almost like the social media version of Doom. It's fascinating to see how people are pushing the boundaries and making it work on all sorts of devices!

Just recently, there's been a Mastodon client developed specifically for Apple II, and surprisingly, it's quite impressive. Almost all the features you'd expect on Mastodon are there; from viewing timelines and receiving notifications to even creating content warnings. The only things missing at the moment are bookmarks and polls, but I have a feeling they'll be added in no time. It's genuinely an impressive endeavor!

Who knows what will come next? I'm personally excited to see if someone manages to make Mastodon work on a Texas Instruments Ti-99/4A Ti-84 calculator. Now that would be something truly remarkable! 😉

SHOCK!

Ah no, not a shock

Niedersachsen - the German Land that pioneered hydrogen trains- has concluded that battery trains are a better bet on branch lines

And Baden-Württemberg has come to the same conclusion

@jon But why in Heaven's name put batteries on trains when overhead cables make so much more sense on all rail systems? A tried and true system, and no need to use limited natural resources to put batteries where they are absolutely not needed.

@jon @FlorianTischner Yeah. Where I come from, the (extremely rare) non-electrified lines are served by diesel trains. And as far as I know, they're all scheduled for regular electrification within the next decade. With state and/or EU support. Battery electric hasn't even entered the discussion here, so I guess that's why it sounds so weird to me.

I mean, there's a huge amount of rolling stock that works on normal electrified lines already.

But obviously YMMV.
