You’re right. It was the eighth movie. My bad. I didn’t even remember Nemesis. It kinda is the Star Trek V but for TNG.

Star Trek 10 - First Contact is also pretty solid.

And then he morbed all over them!

Well, as a consolation there is Rottenegg in Germany. Not nearly as catchy though.

Esteemed personages.

A bit late to the party, but here is my take.

Generated it in ChatGPT with the following prompt:

Generate a photorealistic picture of a man clothed in rags in a run-down room, holding hands with a small child clothed in rags looking forlorn out of the dirty window at the glittering futuristic city, insanely wealthy city in the distance behind a slight layer of dust behind the slum which is visible from the window.

which led to the image prompt:

A photorealistic image of a man and a small child, both dressed in rags, in a run-down room. The man is holding hands with the child, who looks forlorn out of a dirty window. Outside the window, there’s a view of a glittering, futuristic, and wealthy city in the distance, partially obscured by a slight layer of dust and the visible slum. The contrast between the impoverished interior and the opulent cityscape outside is striking.

Prompt was: Alois fährt seinen getunten Bulldog auf der Straße.

The scenery is typical Bavarian, which it derived from Bulldog being used synonymous with tractor in Bavaria and Alois being a old fashioned Bavarian name. Notice the almost correct German licence plate.

Each instance is free to field their own donation drives for their running cost. They even can display advertisements if they feel like it. There is no “one size fits all” here, and there shouldn’t.

Each instance is potentially in a different jurisdiction, making it hard to transfer money, etc.

Not only that, but I think having funds centrally collected and then distributed is a particularly bad idea. It comes with too much opportunities for bad blood. Money and friendship don’t mix.

The only unifying constant of the network is the software that runs it. This though needs to be improved in various areas, for which centrally collected funds would be ideal, as every instance will benefit from it. No operator of any instance would have a disadvantage from advertising the central donation drive. They would benefit from it by having better software in the end.
