«The World’s Real ‘Cybercrime’ Problem» | WIRED.
“From US state laws to the international stage, definitions of “#cybercrime” remain vague, broad, and increasingly entrenched in our legal systems.” A big factor is wildly varying definitions of what’s a crime. E.g., Broad views of what’s “terrorism “, “treason”, etc. Are the laws protecting “information spaces” & regimes? Etc.

Renfe to run Barcelona-Paris trains by *the end of this year*

The piece says the refusal to approve Renfe's trains to run on the Lyon-Paris line has been overcome, but does not say *how* or what trains they will use

The piece is very political, but political will to solve FR-ES rail problems is urgently needed!

🇨🇿🤝🇦🇹 The very new railway connection between #Vienna🇦🇹 Franz-Josefs-Bahnhof and #Prague🇨🇿, R 322 "Silva Nortica" is wonderful. Slow (5h12min) but glow🌟: Winding its way through a beautiful landscape as a regional train, which means no #diningcar (which meant as well, that we had to create our own 😍👍)!

The train on the platform of Wien Franz-Josefs-Bahnhof. A ÖBB class 1116 "Taurus" in red livery is working the train.Burro on the table of the 2nd class compartment with plates and cups and milk.Colorful tablecloth with cups of coffee and small bread rolls and jam.Picture of the train I. Drifting direction from the rear end on the platform of Eggenburg railway station. The platform is empty. Sky is closed. The railway carriages on the left side of the picture are in blue and white livery.

@mattjhodgkinson @evemassacre @jon The third possibility of well-intentioned people who don’t know the person has some merit. I am wondering the portion of these unwitting “#ReplyGuys” being newcomers vs long-term Mastodonists. Newcomers are trying to figure out who’s who and who’s really they say they are. Importance of going to the person’s account & reviewing their toots & threads.
