My favorite little easter egg is that the LOWER DECKS font in the title card now has those blue streaks in the background. Because it's the 5th season. Just like TNG added those blue streaks in its 5th season.
By the way, that's why Ransom calls Una "the hottest First Officer in Starfleet history".

Raise your hand if you knew the answer to the final question. 🙋♂️
"Halt dagegen."
Gegen was? Grammatik?
Aber passt ja. Die AfD ist halt dagegen. Also, gegen alles.
Damit es eindeutiger wird, empfehle ich die Begriffe "Leistungsnehmer" und "Leistungsgeber" oder "Leistungserbringer".
Außerdem strahlen die Bildschirme, die mittlerweile an vielen Haltestellen angebracht sind, unglaublich viel Wärme ab. Ist vor allem im Sommer geil, wenn es eh schon zu warm ist, und dann wird man an der Haltestelle auch noch zusätzlich gegrillt.
The actual scene is very funny too.
SELA: Come in, gentlemen. Take a seat, please. (she continues working on a PADD) Excuse me, I'm just finishing up a speech. For you, Mister Spock. I rather enjoy writing. I don't get to do it often in this job.
DATA: Perhaps you would be happier in another job.
I always remembered TNG as being very stiff. But I've been rewatching several episodes with a friend lately, and I was surprised how many subtle jokes are in there.
One thing that the current era of Trek does right is giving each series a unique vibe. Remember when everyone complained that Voyager was just TNG 2.0? Definitely doesn't happen nowadays.
Of course that means that not every series appeals to every Trekkie. And that's okay. Just pick the ones you like.
"Compact" is a bit of a stretch. But the size of the Pixel 9 and 9 Pro (non-XL) is pretty nice. I currently have a 7 Pro and while the "screen real estate" is nice, it's really on the upper end of what I'm willing to use. (Both in terms of size and weight) I bought my mom a Pixel 8 recently and I really liked the form factor when I set up the phone. It's large enough to fit everything on the screen but small enough to use comfortably. Since I really want a telephoto lens the non-XL Pro version seems like it's made for me. 😄
wenn man nur tagesschau liest und Talkshows anschaut wird man nur wissen das "Schulden = schlecht" sind
Das liegt nicht nur an der Tagesschau. Das ist einfach in unserer deutschen DNA drin.
Neulich habe ich mal irgendwo gelesen, dass Deutsche möglicherweise auch deswegen so gegen Schulden sind, weil in der deutschen Sprache nicht zwischen finanzieller Schuld und moralischer Schuld unterschieden wird. Es ist das selbe Wort. Während beispielsweise im Englischen zwischen debt und guilt unterschieden wird.
Keine Ahnung, ob da was dran ist. Klingt aber auch nicht völlig abwegig.
I’m all for trying new things within the Star Trek universe!
I'm usually in the same boat. Because IDIC, you know? I like it when new shows expand the Trek universe and try something new. Just look at DS9. It got a lot of backlash in the 90s ("too dark", "not Gene's vision" etc.) and nowadays it's very popular and often ranked somewhere around TNG.
But this Section 31 movie.... I don't know. Nothing about seems appealing. The main role is basically Space Hitler. It was already nonsense how they tried to redeem that character on Discovery while she had no redeeming qualities. Compare that to other Trek "villains" like Gul Dukat who at least had some sort of moral compass, even if it was a bit skewed. But Georgiou? There's nothing. She's just one-dimensionally evil. Do we really need a movie with her in the main role? 😕
Just a throwback to one of the best teaser trailers ever. I get goosebumps every time I watch it.
IMO the only Star Trek trailer that comes reasonably close is the teaser trailer for the 2009 movie.

Excerpt:
> Formula 1 says it is on track to hit its Net Zero targets by 2030 after the publication of its latest impact report that includes its carbon emissions.
> The report currently includes figures from 2022 as F1 needs to await data from teams and other stakeholders from last year, but the first season that was not impacted by COVID-19 showed a 13 percent reduction in F1’s carbon footprint compared to the 2018 baseline. That’s despite the 2022 calendar featuring an extra race compared to prior to the pandemic.
> The sport’s Net Zero target is a minimum of 50 percent emissions reduction versus 2018, leaving 37 percent still to be achieved by 2030.
Fernando Alonso will continue to race in Formula 1 with Aston Martin next season after the team announced that the two-time world champion has signed a fresh deal to keep him onboard into 2026 and the sport’s next regulatory cycle.
For those who don't know the Roddenberry Archive: they're rebuiliding 3D modles of Starfleet bridges and other sets where you can freeroam, and sometimes even interact with consoles etc.
Last week I posted a thread about the bridges of the TMP Klingon Battle Cruiser and the USS Discovery being added. The official blog update is here.
What the blog update doesn't mention is that multiple existing locations have been extended:
-
On the Enterprise XCV-330 you can now climb the ladder to another level. (I'm fairly certain this wasn't possible a few weeks ago)
-
On all Enterprise NX-01 versions, the 2151 version, 2155 version and the Mirror Universe version, you can now enter the Captain's ready room.
-
On Deep Space Nine you can now enter Odo's security office.
-
The Disco version of the Enterprise NCC-1701 now has a briefing room that wasn't shown on screen. (leave the Bridge to the starboard side)
That showed up on their Star Trek page.
The selections for DS9 and VOY are pretty good. Even though I wouldn't call all of them "the best", they're all above average episodes.
Meanwhile, the ENT selection of best episodes includes "highlights" like Acquisition, Carbon Creek, Marauders and Carpenter Street. Oh well.
Finanzminister Lindner zeigt sich überzeugt: Die Wirtschaft benötigt neue Impulse, um wieder zu wachsen. Dazu gehört für ihn auch die Arbeitseinstellung der Deutschen.

> Bundesfinanzminister Christian Lindner fordert von den Deutschen, ihre Einstellung zur Arbeit zu überdenken. In der ARD-Sendung »Caren Miosga«, sagte er, die Arbeitsmotivation der Bürger sei wichtig für die Entwicklung der Wirtschaft. Man müsse den Menschen »Lust machen auf die Überstunde« sagte Lindner. Unter Umständen sei auch eine »Mentalitätsreform« notwendig, da Arbeit nicht nur eine finanzielle Funktion erfülle. »Arbeit ist doch auch Sinnstiftung, das strukturiert den Alltag«. [...]
Unless I'm mistaken, the Discovery bridge has been added only recently as well.
For those who don't know the Roddenberry Archive: have fun exploring. On some ships you can even leave the bridge and go to different areas of the ship (for example the shuttle bay or main engineering on the Enterprise D). Also, sometimes you can move or activate objects like consoles.
At least Verstappen can't win the title already in Japan this year. 🫠
The official F1 channel is really putting out some great content recently. I hope they keep this up for the remaining season. ^(Then at least the videos before the race weekend will be exciting, if the races themselves fail to provide excitement)
A suggested Star Trek viewing order that will guide you on your journey from the 21st Century right through to the 32nd.
This was created by Reddit user /u/JohnKFisher, and I think it's a neat uncluttered guide for all Star Trek that's especially useful for newbies.
A nice kickoff for RAWE CEEK.
A beautiful Lemmy app for browsing Lemmy on the go!
About a week ago I got an update for Carrier Services on the Play Store on my Pixel 7 Pro. Since then I have zero cell reception in the subway.
A similar thing happened last year with the November Update, but at least back then I could force a new connection by toggling airplane mode on and off a few times (and thankfully it was fixed with the December Patch). This time, nothing works. The phone is completely useless in the subway. :-/
Anyone else having that problem?
