/c/TenForward: Your home-away-from-home for all things Star Trek!
Re-route power to the shields, emit a tachyon pulse through the deflector, and post all the nonsense you want. Within reason of course.
~ 1. No bigotry. This is a Star Trek community. Remember that diversity and coexistence are Star Trek values. Any post/comments that are racist, anti-LGBT, or generally "othering" of a group will result in removal/ban.
~ 2. Keep it civil. Disagreements will happen both on lore and preferences. That's okay! Just don't let it make you forget that the person you are talking to is also a person.
~ 3. Use spoiler tags.
Use spoiler tags in comments, and NSFW checkbox for posts.
This applies to any episodes that have dropped within 3 months prior of your posting. After that it's free game.
~ 4. Keep it Trek related. This one is kind of a gimme but keep as on topic as possible.
~ 5. Keep posts to a limit. We all love Star Trek stuff but 3-4 posts in an hour is plenty enough.
~ 6. Try to not repost. Mistakes happen, we get it! But try to not repost anything from within the past 1-2 months.
~ 7. No General AI Art. Posts of simple AI art do not 'inspire jamaharon'
~ 8. No Political Upheaval. Political commentary is allowed, but please keep discussions civil. Read here for our community's expectations.
Fun will now commence.

Well, obviously it is based on Linux. What, you don't want root access to your holodeck?
At least you don't need a Meta account to access the holodeck!
Oh! Edit! That's the Ferengi model!

POP! hisssss "Computer! Observe verification can consumption"
I imagine a bit of a gap moe in how the cold heartless machine voice changes to a heavily accented voice for the Okie Dokie.
Fun fact: In universe the OS is called LCARS or Library Computer Access and Retrieval System. The name and how they use the computers are largely due to the main lore building happening in a time before PCs were ubiquitous and mainframes were still the norm.
Yep. The ship computers are basically terminals that are sub-space connected to the mainframe, called Memory Alpha, in San Francisco, where Starfleet is headquartered.
They were still outputing paper tape in the TOS era. Almost like they had to relearn computing from first principles at some point.
