Maybe shake it repeatedly so that the gyroscope picks it up. 😄 Would be an inherent human response anyway.

The reason: 🫰

Every time I read “YouTube redesign” I hope for a proper Material You design (including adaptive colors). Instead it’s always just some menus shifting around.

The Pixel can also get the new Assistant At a Glance widget, although the permanent At a Glance widget still remains in place and unchanged.

What’s the point then? I don’t need the same widget twice.

YT Music’s podcast support is sorely lacking

I don’t have it yet in my region. Does YouTube Music support faster playback and the ability to skip silences? Those are the most important features to me.

I usually love bad humour. But these Very Short Treks are just terrible.

I do like the TAS animation style though. And that the actual actors are voicing the characters is great too. Everything else … not so much. Bummer. 🙁

“What would come after the dash?” 🤔

MFW I’m my usual misanthropic self.

I had to look up who that is. Guess I’m getting old. Is he popular? (I feel like Captain Kirk in Star Trek IV asking “Is that a lot?”)

Soooo…the message was that you can’t say anything anymore because people are offended by everything?

I somewhat agree with that but it’s weird that Star Trek sends such a message.

I grinned like an idiot throughout the first episode because of all the Voyager callbacks but I got the biggest laugh in the second episode when Boimler goes to his new quaters and the room is bright red because of the glowing nacelle. I had to pause because I was laughing so much. For the past ~30 years I always wondered what crew quarters which face towards the nacelles were like. Thank you, Lower Decks.

I never understood why the producers put Troi, Seven of Nine and T’Pol into those stupid catsuits in the first place. All of them looked so much more sexy whenever they wore the standard Starfleet uniform.

Thankfully Jellico fixed that at least for Troi.

This phone looks weird. The 6 Pro looked awesome with the black visor. The 7 Pro looked elegant with the metal visor and gentle camera pills. But this one … has totally weird proportions. If the camera pill is so large, why not make it an entirely black visor again?

You’re in a bubble. ~99% of the population is not on reddit/lemmy or other android communities where they could discover new apps. They find out about new apps from friends, from news articles, or through the Play Store.

Yeah. I’m a huge Worf fan (he is and always has been my favourite Trek character) but that scene does not work for me at all. He doesn’t even sound like Worf here. Riker too sounds totally wooden at the beginning. Not sure if it’s the missing post-production but everything about this scene feels off. It’s a good thing this scene didn’t make the final cut.

Biggest question: would Riker hit on himself?

I love SNW but this show is held back by the low number of episodes per season. With 10 episodes it’s just not possible to develop all your characters and still try out weird storytelling ideas. Although some of that is self-inflicted. Nobody forced them to bring on Kirk and Scotty, when they haven’t even managed to give Ortegas something to do in 20 episodes. By season 4 we’ll probably have a junior Doctor McCoy, Ensign Sulu and Cadet Chekov on board, and then it’ll get really crowded.

But back to the topic: I loved the humorous episodes this season but 3/10 is really the maximum amount of funny episodes. On the other hand, I’d love more thought-provoking stuff like “Ad Astra Per Aspera” and “Under the Cloak of War”. 2 out of 10 episodes was not enough for my taste.

You should tell your cat more often that he/she is a pretty cat. And a good cat. And provide them with feline supplement number 25.

With my level of grumpiness I’m a T’Ana.
