Come to Quark’s, Quark’s is Fun!

General off-topic chat for the crew of startrek.website. Trek-adjacent discussions, other sci-fi television, navigating the Fediverse, server meta (within reason), selling expired cases of Yamok sauce, it’s all fair game.

Tech Billionaires Need to Stop Trying to Make the Science Fiction They Grew Up on Real

I used to work for Paul Allen, managed his social media messaging systems and was an internal consultant (integrating systems when Seahawks were purchased, etc) in the late 1990's...

Paul Allen was inspired by science fiction of Carl Sagan's "Contact", and build the Allen SETI array. It isn't all bad.
