Companies are even worse. My girlfriend's boyfriend was trying to buy a train ticket from Deutsche Bahn, and there just were none available. It was baffling. He asked me to check (because he was in a hotel room) and I, too, could not find any.

Turns out, they refuse to sell tickets to customers that use Linux!!?! Change the OS in your browser ID string, and magically all sorts of tickets appear!

Like wtf, how purposefully evil do you have to be to run a business like that? What is even the point?

Stuff like that is worse than sites only working with Chrome/Chromium. It is infuriating that site reaches deeper for the OS. A website should work so long as the browser is used.
