Wenn sie keine bezahlbare Mietwohnung finden, sollen sie halt Häuser kaufen. – Marie-Antoinette vermutlich

Why do they ask for feedback for their platform ... on another platform? I don't have a Twat Twitter account and I don't intend to ever create one.

Die ganze Geschichte ist absolut irre.

Zur Übergabe in die Nachtschicht konnte sie allerdings nur an zwei Pflegeassistenten übergeben, weil keine weitere ausgebildete und examinierte medizinische Pflegefachkraft anwesend war. [...] > Besagte Pflegekraft soll zu jenem Zeitpunkt bereits eine Doppelschicht hinter sich gehabt haben.

Die sind also, selbst wenn sie "vollzählig" sind, zu dritt für 170 Patienten da. Was zur Hölle ist das für ein Personalschlüssel?

Und es ist irgendwie auch bezeichnend, dass es bei den Zuständen in der Pflege nicht andauernd einen politischen Aufschrei gibt. Bei Themen wie Abtreibung und Sterbehilfe wird ja auch immer über Würde und Menschlichkeit und so weiter gejammert.

According to his Wikipedia article he changed his view on climate change a decade ago.

In 2008, Jillette stated that there is not enough information to make an informed decision on global warming, that his gut told him it was not real, but his mind said that he cannot prove it.[46] As of 2014, he has changed his position and now believes that climate change is occurring

NASA Earth meeting

Are there also meetings on other planets?

Dito. Wenn der Arbeitsplatz zu heiß ist und das Unternehmen nichts dagegen tut (oder nur so Pseudo-Maßnahmen wie die Bereitstellung eines 30 Jahre alten Ventilators, der die warme Luft umher wirbelt), dann muss es eben damit leben, dass die Menschen unproduktiver werden.

Ich kompensiere hier jedenfalls kein Organisationsversagen der Chefetage, erst recht nicht zulasten meiner Freizeit.

FTFY

Ich möchte bitte nach cold sortieren können, ganz dringend.

To this day I can't believe that the first regular episode after the pilot was a story about the crew acting out of character. We didn't even get to really know the characters by then. What a weird decision.

Sync is soooo aesthetically pleasing. (I'm a sucker for full MaterialYou implementation) I'd love it if I could continue using it on Lemmy, and would happily pay a second time.

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.

»Arbeit ist doch auch Sinnstiftung, das strukturiert den Alltag«.

Sinnstiftend habe ich in meinem Leben bislang nur Arbeit wahrgenommen, die ich für private Zwecke oder im Ehrenamt erledigt habe. Erwerbsarbeit hat für mich nur dahingehend Sinn, dass am Monatsende Geld auf dem Konto ist. Ich beneide jeden, der seine Erwerbsarbeit auch darüber hinaus (zumindest teilweise) als sinnstiftend empfindet. Mir ist das in knapp zwei Jahrzehnten und in verschiedenen Jobs noch nicht gelungen.

An okay episode.

Finally Una got to do something instead of being completely on the sidelines. The whole ensemble got something to do, except Ortegas who slowly turns into SNW's Travis Mayweather: that one cast member that is just there physically but doesn't get anything to do.

My personal highlight was the scene were Spock and Chapel play chess, and he passive-aggressively pushes her to play faster. Very Vulcan.

What irked me: everyone and their mother immediately started calling the First Officer of another Starfleet ship by his first name. That was weird.

Another weird thing was Pike's promotion to Fleet Captain. We've never seen this in Star Trek, particularly not when it's just two ships on a mission. So I checked the transcript of The Menagerie were Kirk speaks about the one time he met Captain Pike. And there it is:

MENDEZ: You ever met Chris Pike?
KIRK: When he was promoted to Fleet Captain.

SNW's producers were sneaky with that one. I'm both annoyed and impressed.

Generation der alles in die Wiege gelegt wurde

Ich finde dieses Narrativ vor allem für Deutschland nicht ganz passend. Vielleicht passt es für Westdeutschland, aber die ostdeutschen Boomer hatten ihn ihren besten Jahren einen unglaublichen Bruch – beruflich und sozial – den sich viele heute nicht annähernd vorstellen können. Ihnen wurde garantiert nicht alles in die Wiege gelegt, sondern sie mussten sich alles selbst aufbauen, unter Umständen mehrmals.

They do that to let search engines index their articles. Then they switch on the paywall an hour later or so but still get a lot of traffic (which is good for advertising) when people click on the link on Google etc.

Das Wort "entlaufen" klingt bei Schlangen aber auch sehr witzig. Da hat die Kobra aber die Beine in die Hand genommen!

Shouldn't the logo be flipped because on Lemmy upvotes are blue and downvotes are orange?

Material You. I wondered why they wasted resources for ... colors. But it's so nice to have a consistently colored UI across apps and across dark/light modes, and I wished that more apps would support it. Also, those pastel colors are less stressful for the eyes than the previous grey/blue.

I know it's not everyone's taste but I really like it.

What a tonal shift from the last episode.

I think this was on par with DS9's Dominion War episodes, showing how the Federation ideals clash with the real world. It will certainly be controversial for being so "un-Trek". There's no happy ending, there's just the sinking feeling that a war never really ends in the heads of those that were affected by it.

The acting was stellar all around, particularly M'Benga and Chapel. [Edit: and Ortegas! Finally she got some material to work with that weren't funny one-liners, and she made the most of it.] And that final scene with M'Benga and Pike just demands a continuation in the future.

It was certainly an impressive, thought-provoking episode but if you'd ask me to rate this episode on a scale of 1 to 10 I'd have no idea where to put it. I'm still sitting here trying to wrap my head around what I just saw. I guess that's war for you. It doesn't make sense.
