Very much agreed. A couple months back it would have been the token "I looked at BGG and the #1 board game there looks pretty D&D like so here we are" recommendation.

I'm happy it's there because it is a very good game - but also highly likely to leave the article's target audience frustrated and confused.

If we picked all of the asshole tyrant heads of state (add billionaire techbros while we're at it) it would look like Battle Royal back when WWF was still a thing with twenty freaks in the ring at the same time. And for every punch that lands you could cheer because it never hits anyone who didn't deserve it.

Okay, guter Punkt. Promi-Meinungen sind grundsätzlich keine sinnvolle Grundlage für irgendwas.

Aber Kutcher und Kunis sind halt Scientologen und damit automatisch höchst suspekt, so wie Mitglieder aller demokratiefeindlicher Vereinigungen.

Das Fanclub-Magazin der Spaßpartei FDP ist gegen etwas, was der öffentlich-rechtliche Rundfunk tut. Na sowas.

Ja bitte? Wenn industrielle Tierausbeutungsbetriebe pleite gehen ist das ganz ernsthaft das Best Case Szenario.

If the tyrant Erdogan (same thing for Orban and those other autocrat dickbags) is unhappy that's a sign that at least something is going in the right direction.

That's the actually good Catan version though.

Is it also bland and old-fashioned yet still somehow popular?

Waaas, Scientologen sollen auf einmal nicht mehr glaubwürdig sein?? Wann ist denn das passiert?

Die Union will künftig noch mehr human trafficking und illegale Prostitution sehen? Nicht unbedingt überraschend.

Wie scheiße muss die Union noch werden, bevor Leute aufhören, sie zu wählen? Rhetorische Frage, das wird natürlich nie passieren.

We don't have our devs on call at all. Infra / platform ops are and I think they get 750€ per on-call week (not more than one week out of four) which includes two calls or two hours of call duration whichever is reached first.

After that it's another 70€ per call or started hour and it's the same if an expert who is not on call is asked to help out with an issue reported to on-call (but they may not answer / decline as there's never an expectation to be "soft on-call")

Overall that's an okay deal and some sorely needed extra money for the ops guys and gals. But all the same I'm happy that my devs don't need to plan their lives around an on-call schedule.


Edit: Ah sorry, didn't even answer all the questions in OP...

We're in Germany and there is a cooldown time after you fielded an emergency on-call report (which is outside of regular working hours by definition) which is either 8 or 10 hours (not entirely sure since my team doesn't do on-call as previously stated) before you are allowed to start your regular work time for the following day.
Not sure how they tally up working hours for payroll but if you wake up to a call at 3am then certainly no one expects you to be online again at 8am. If you get a call at 10pm however then you get to start working normally the next day. (unless that issue took forever to troubleshoot ofc)

On-call rotations are one entire week per person who participates (which is not mandatory) and the participants per pool must be at least four - which is why they are pooling web admins, DBAs and other ops folk together.
That seems to work okay even though every so often more specialized know-how is required than the current on-call tech possesses for the topic at hand and then they request extraordinary assistance as described above.
