/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. Political commentary is allowed, but please keep discussions civil. Read here for our community's expectations.

Fun will now commence.

I'm now convinced that most holodeck malfunctions are the result of end users, who don't know what they're doing, using AI to generate poorly-written software they're ill-equipped to debug or even really understand.

I think it's proof that AI isn't inherently a problem, it's capitalism that is. Being able to create a fun video game adventure for your friends like Boimler and Tom did is awesome

There's definitely that.

But there's also the aspect that's like building your own helicopter (with no degree in helicopterology), and then inviting your friends for a ride. lol

I think Tom did that too lol

I think hobbies are very different in the 24th century

Ok, so the Delta Flyer is like, the one exception. 😆

Quark had a vested financial interest in not letting his holosuites put his customers in danger. As a result, they had basically zero problems over the entire run of DS9.

I don't want to give capitalism too much credit, though. I'd prefer to attribute the high rate of mishaps on the Enterprise to the effect on the holodeck circuitry of all the negative space wedgies they were constantly flying through.

I always assumed Rom's patch-up repairs were just that good.

[–] JWBananas@lemmy.world 1 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Well, except for the time they made Sisko see things.

[–] grue@lemmy.world 1 points 3 months ago (1 children)

When was that? I don't remember it.

[–] JWBananas@lemmy.world 2 points 3 months ago

It was the one where Bajor is supposed to join the Federation
