/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. 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. 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.

Pfft, Hannah Montana... that show was so unbelievable. I mean, how in the world were people fooled into thinking she was two different people just because she put on a wig!

... wait a minute

I bow to Jeffery Combs, king of the guest stars!

I remember first trying Linux because there was some kind of KDE plugin (or maybe Gnome) that basically made the thing LCARS.

It also showed just how bad LCARS is as an efficient OS. 🤣

To be fair to LCARS it doesn't follow the application window pattern modern graphic OSs do, so it's not surprising that hammering a windowing system to make it look like LCARS is not efficient. It's supposed to display smart contextual widgets which are more akin to Grafana mixed with home screen/desktop widgets with maybe a dash of what Microsoft was trying to do with live tiles on Windows 8.

It was recursive menus and not like a normal window thing. Like, it didn't work like a normal OS GUI with icons and windows and stuff.

It wasn't, however, contextual. It was just like browsing files in a folder via a command line, but prettier.

Could probably be done better today.

I can remember this without issue, but if I lost my contacts I'd never be able to call or text my family and friends ever again.

I remember four phone numbers:

  1. Mine
  2. My ex wife’s
  3. My home phone when I was growing up
  4. The home phone of my best friend growing up

Only one of those numbers is useful to me.

Meanwhile, back in the Original Series days, Scotty had to make do with shell scripts, makefiles and the crontab!

'mscott' is not in the sudoers file. This incident will be reported.

Before we drop in another "What's New Pussycat?", let's put in one "It's Not Unusual".
