/c/TenFoward: 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. Hating someone off of their race, culture, creed, sexuality, or identity is not remotely acceptable. Mistakes can happen but do your best to respect others.
~ 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. 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' and fuck over our artist friends.
Fun will now commence.

@jawa21@startrek.website for realizing that the line used to be "want to be added to the sidebar?" and capitalized on it. Congratulations and welcome to the sidebar. Stamets is both ashamed and proud.

MODERATORS
I’d argue that we simply don’t have (or couldn’t use it if we had it) LCARS because our computing systems are 300 years too architecturally and systematically simplistic to require it. Even in the 23rd century, they used a different computing system, as noted by Boimler when he travelled to the past and nerdgasmed over the “retro” computer systems.
LCARS, as it is presented, is far more than an OS. It manages, at a near-galactic level, all information interactions with all available databases in the Federation, whether on Starships, Starbases, or planets, and all levels of information access and retrieval therefrom and therof. That’s a lot.
One would think there’s an underlying OS layer, but maybe it’s all integrated. Who knows. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
