@mcv @clacke @hypolite @efraim @Paul I can’t wait for the double feature when the new one comes out.

@Paul @mcv @clacke @hypolite @efraim I did a Star Trek marathon once. But I think back then it was only seven movies. Good times. 🤩

@clacke The only thing that really bothers me about Dune 2021 is how emotional Jessica is portrayed. She’s a Bene Gesserit, she wouldn’t show her emotions!

@clacke I was in contact with a developer of an app I used for a while. Me in Europe, he in Australia. We had this blissfully hour when our bedtime/wake up schedule synchronised and we could have real time conversations.

@clacke Heretics of Dune: She danced well, too. Not the slightest quickly repeatable rhythm entered her movements. There was rhythm but it was an admirably long beat, at least a hundred steps apart. She kept it up while the sun lifted higher and higher. It was almost noon before she fell exhausted to the sand.
The priests stood and looked out into the desert where Shai-hulud had gone. The stampings of the dance had not summoned Him back. They were forgiven.
That was how Sheeana’s new life began.

@clacke In the later books it becomes a dance that actually has a repetition, but only after an extremely long sequence.

@clacke In "Children of Dune" its described thus: "He moved with the random walk which made only those sounds natural to the desert. Nothing in his passage would tell that worm back there that human flesh moved here. It was a way of walking so deeply conditioned in him that he didn’t need to think about it. The feet moved of themselves, no measurable rhythm to their pacing. Any sound his feet made could be ascribed to the wind, to gravity. No human passed here."

@clacke
I recommend struggling through books 3-4 because it gets really good again after. Chapterhouse is the second best in the series IMHO.

@clacke
The idea of walking without attracting a worm through the desert is to not make repetitive sounds and to simulate the natural shifts of the the sands. It's in the books from the beginning. How that would actually look in practice is what you have movie directors for. From the book description it sound unnatural, complicated and exhausting to me.

@clacke
They have to get to Chapterhouse Dune for the sand dance. Don't ya know? ⏳💃

Dass Grundrechte in gewissem Maß vor Mehrheiten geschützt sind ist eine bewusste und wichtige Schutzmaßnahme für Minderheiten.

Ob das im konkreten Fall zutrifft maße ich mir nicht an zu beurteilen.

Das betroffene Grundrecht heißt Eigentum.

Im Übrigen siehe den zweiten Satz meines obigen Beitrags.
