Yes. Thus they don't know that this one episode of Short Treks is supposed to happen in the 24th century and will assume that it is in the Disco era as nothing in the episode indicates otherwise until the end.

Yeah, that would have worked at a pinch!
This. The only problem with your post was is that I could only give it one like.
The short was advertised as a prequel to Picard. Anyone who's confused is actively going out of their way to be confused on purpose.
I just noticed that one of the photos on her wall is a rendering of the concept art of the Sphinx Workbee by Andrew Probert...
I think, this might be where They got the photo from...

- There's no reason to trust non-canon sources on population.
- The news reports appear to be live. Thus I'm guessing (unless the visual team really fugged things up) the 3,000 was in the initial assault and even more people died later.
It also looks like she as an image or drawing of a TNG-style warp jump with star trails. Not the blurred, waves-of-undulating-subspace warp jumps we've been seeing since Star Trek Beyond.
I don't trust non-canon sources; however, the figure is from a source that the production crew of DSC have been known to use.
Riker and Troi were announced before either of the actors even filmed their scenes.
I believe it was at Vegas last August.
And assume that you aren't aware of said advertising. Assume that you're just watching Short Treks in order.
Looks like a planet to me. That bit at the bottom is just a reflection.I just noticed that one of the photos on her wall is a rendering of the concept art of the Workbee by Andrew Probert...
I added this link to my above post for a possible source of the photo...

Specifically, the third pic in the top row...
(not exact but really close)
I really liked this one. Great cover of Bowie's Heroes.
Anyway, I better throw my 2c into the all-consuming discussion re: the ships. I'm okay with them recycling the Disco models for the opening shot, rather than building up a new mesh from scratch for a fleeting shot. But - here's a thought: if they used Disco models for convenience, does this imply they have no models of late 24th Century ships we're familiar with developed for Picard?
I'll give them a pass this time. But please, don't try and pull this in the actual series. It will reek of laziness if any background Starfleet vessels are recycled Discovery models.

It's way too round to be that, watch the scene, that bit you think is part of the worker bee vanishes depending on the frame/angle. The same reflection is also on the picture to the right.I added this link to my above post for a possible source of the photo...

Why would I be watching Short Treks at all if it wasn't for the advertising? How on Earth could I be watching Short Treks and not be familiar with Picard, even if I didn't post on boards like this? They've been plugging the shit out of Picard for months. Short Treks is not a main series, it's a supplement. It was a supplement for Discovery, it was a test bed for a Pike Series, and now it's additional promotion for Picard.
If you're watching Short Treks, you've probably already seen trailers for Picard. And even if not (which is unlikely), the minute you see Picard's face, that should eliminate any doubt about what you're watching. If that doesn't do it, then seeing "Based on Star Trek: The Next Generation, Created by Gene Roddenberry" will.
Credit people with some intelligence.

Awww Pooo...

I don't think so. I just think this short was put into post-production way before Season 1 of Picard's post-production began, meaning they just didn't have the meshes available for any 24th century ships yet.
Admiral Picard is going for the Balok look in the news feed.
It makes me wonder how many Federation/Starfleet ships we'll actually get a glimpse of in STP; as you would think that they HAVE CGI ship models for the show as at least the first 5 episodes were completed some time ago as Patrick Stewart has already scene them - and this was a 6 minute (8 with credits) short with pretty much one 10 second or so shot of 3 Federation ships in Drydock <-- That can't have taken that long to composite.
My point: Perhaps we won't see any mainline Starfleet ships at all in STP.
I'm okay with them reusing Disco ships in Picard. Now if they start using Picard ships in Discovery, I might start scratching my head.
