I just realized that while FreeNow is owned by #Lyft, Bolt is still #European owned and operated.

🚗 Mitfahrgelegenheit am Samstag, 11.07. von Brugg (AG, Schweiz) Richtung Köln.

Geplant ist eine frühe Abfahrt, damit wir möglichst entspannt vor dem großen Verkehr unterwegs sind.

📍 Ausstieg ist flexibel entlang der Strecke möglich. Besonders praktisch sind Ziele an der A61 bis zum Kreuz Kerpen. In Kerpen ist man mit dem Nahverkehr in etwa 25 Minuten in der Kölner Innenstadt.

⚡ Wir fahren elektrisch. Deshalb wird es voraussichtlich zwei kurze Ladepausen geben. Insgesamt rechne ich mit höchstens etwa 30 Minuten Ladezeit. Währenddessen gibt es Toiletten, meist einen Supermarkt und oft auch die Möglichkeit, einen Snack oder etwas zu essen zu holen.

🧳 Platz ist für eine Person mit einem Koffer.

🚭 Im Auto wird nicht geraucht. Zusätzliche Raucherpausen möchte ich nicht einplanen. Toilettenpausen sind natürlich jederzeit möglich. Meine Blase hält ohnehin nicht so lange durch wie der Akku. 😄 Essen im Auto bitte nur mit etwas Rücksicht, unterwegs lässt sich bei einer Ladepause aber problemlos etwas holen.

Bei Interesse einfach melden. 🙂

For privacy-focused travelers: App algorithms offer digital trails, but they also track your telemetry data. Local taxis offer anonymity but lack decentralized oversight.

Never accept off-app fare modifications—it kills your active GPS logging and insurance coverage.

Small satellite operators confront a bottleneck to space access

EQT to acquire Exolaunch

StubHub look out! There actually is a resale market for Rocket Launches ! I did not know that!

Getting your wiz-bang satellite onto a launch vehicle (rocket) is not as simple as calling up SpaceX and arranging a date.

There is a network of rideshare brokers, launch aggregators, or mission management providers who have a LOT of power and control over what and when satellites get launched by the launch providers - aka SpaceX etc.

Satellite operators can get squeezed between direct booking with a launch provider and the brokers. So much so, regulatory bodies (FTC) are beginning to investigate how traditional antitrust laws apply to orbital launch capacity. https://satnews.com/2026/05/31/if-you-thought-space-was-hard-try-to-get-your-satellite-on-a-rocket/ #Satellites #Rockets #LaunchVehicle #RideShare #LaunchBroker #Monopoly #FTC #Regulation #SpaceRegulation #SpaceX #Space #CommercialSpace

Travel focused apps that have regional geo-blocking for even logging into the app are fucking stupid.

I confirmed it works if I connect to a VPN within the service area.

I guess I won't plan my future rides or get payment history for past trips when I'm not yet on the trip. Or setting up a payment method!

You would think taxis would try to catch up with rideshare services.

I hope you also read about #Uber and #Lyft drivers forming a #rideshare #union.

#unions #rideshare

It's like nobody wants to be a disposable cog in the #Lyft #Uber profit from gig economy machine anymore ?

70,000 Massachusetts #rideshare drivers become largest private workforce to win union recognition since #Ford autoworkers in 1941… progress in Massachusetts inspires similar fights for #unionrights in California, Minnesota, Illinois.
