Discovery jumping into Kronos cave contradicts TNG Pegasus

[Rahul]

I like Okudagramms very much. But they are IMO a pretty good codifier for "24t century". As the 23rd century (before Okuda worked on Trek) had distinctively different designs. So I think it was good of Discovery (and Kelvin Trek for that matter!) not to use them. The problem is that neither of them have found a destinctive style for their graphics themselves, they all look rather generic, and could be used in "Iron Man", "Battlestar Galactica" or "CSI:Cyber" without everyone noticing a difference. Kelvin Trek at least was big on knobs and buttons.

I absolutely hope Okudagramms (or, better future progressions of them) DO show up in that Picard-series though!

In the future they probably will have massive supercomputers handling continuity. They'll scan the script and the computer says "Error! Error! There is a continuity contradiction on page 5, line 3 that conflicts with 'A Taste of Armageddon' from February 23, 1967, timeframe 35:06"

And three minutes in ...

I don't know if Okudagrams can really be the designation for the 24th century though. This would be like saying Windows PCs are the designation for the first 20 years of the 21st century, because a tv show only featured that operating system. Obviously this isn't true as we have Macs and Linux.

the basic Windows GUI though, which itself is more or less derived/inspired by the Mac/Lisa GUI (not going into XEROX sParc as I've never used it and hardly anyone else did either), has been around with the tale tale Windows Button menu system since 1995. There were prior versions, but that menu system has been prevalent since then, now for decades with no real end in sight.

Hell even my Linux system uses a similar minu for the GUI

Even if Starfleet classified it, don't you think the Klingons would have been publicly screaming every chance they got (Battle of Organia, Khitomer talks, etc) about that time Starfleet dishonorably tried to blow them up? I don't think it's something the Klingons would let the Federation forget...

It seemed like the Klingons on the Ship of the Dead were the only ones that really knew what Starfleet was doing. The "So, this is Discovery's fabled power" line. And then they all die when SotD blows up. And Discovery itself might be presumed destroyed by many Klingons, since it's mirror counterpart was destroyed.

Tv shows use weirdly skinned things. Or macs doing things with software that doesn’t do the thing being shown, because creative media still think macs are the Thing To Use. It’s nivel when you see a windows interface...I found elementary pushing the windows tablets terribly amusing, because it was novel to see someone using something that most of the planet uses. (It’s still hilarious watching the Mac in Imdependence Day. That thing could barely talk to another computer on earth nicely, but look at it fly.) Linux? Yeah. Let me know when that actually works for normal people, outside of it being pushed ina very few countries. The idea is always so good, but really...it’s a geek thing. It’s also skinned every which way, so like Android, it doesn’t exactly have a GUI you can instantly recognise.
Trek does work that way...or star fleet does. Each of the races have their thing. I think the Cardassians were probably on Linux...look at poor OBrien trying to get shit working on Ds9. Ferrengi are on Macs.

Linux isn't skinned. These are third party desktops running on top of a Linux kernel.

That’s just semantics. XD

Woah, man, TMI. This is a family-friendly website.
