You've heard of hostile architecture, but what about hostile technology?
Example:
@Gina Dutch public transport started to suck so much after I moved to Switzerland and got used to it here. No gates anywhere ever. No checking in or out ever. Such a breath of fresh air.
@Gina i usually go from/to stations without these gates (just the check-in poles which while less annoying, i could still rant about if my instance's character limit was higher) so i don't encounter them often.
and i still had an issue one time where only one side of the gate opened, so i had to squeeze into the station. if i wasn't incredibly underweight i wouldn't have been able to enter, while still having paid for the check-in.
@Gina a day at the horses?
@Gina On top of that the train ticket prices are disgustingly high in NL. At least the trains are more reliable than the DB (= Germany) ones 😂
It feels a bit salty to complain about turnstiles in the age of flock camera's, but they all suck.
@Gina that’s a turnstile?! Looks more like an international border checkpoint gate 😂
@Gina better these than ones with cameras that allow access with face recognition I guess.
@Gina In the event of a movie action sequence, how is anyone supposed to hurdle the barriers to stop the bad people from getting away...?
