@simoncalder.bsky.social From today's @the-independent.com: "New high-speed rail to link Vienna and Trieste". I got quite excited, by then saw that the "high speed" journey takes 6.5 hours. It's 350 km as the crow flies. Even the @gwr.com train from London to Bristol gets up to 200 km/hr.

Trip.com is one of those sites that does a lot of things really well, but manages to counter that by being really irritating, like sending you alerts and emails about nothing all this time. Also, what's this? They say I'm saving CO2, but I'm going somewhere, so by definition I'm creating CO2?

Two different groups want this valuable spectrum, but can they share?
A row is brewing in Europe over the 6 GHz part of the wireless spectrum, between those who believe it should be licensed for use by cellular networks and others that want it reserved for Wi-Fi.…

This month I announced that London has met legal limits for nitrogen dioxide for the first time ever.
When I became Mayor, we were told it would take 193 years. We did it 184 years earlier than predicted.
