   Star Trek’s computers run on free software: they can use it for any mission (freedom 0), never fret about missing source code, and can modify it for whatever the task calls for (freedom 1). They share it freely - just like when holodeck programs are swapped (freedoms 2 & 3). The future is free. 🖖 #FreeSoftware #SoftwareFreedom #StarTrek

     @khleedril If you watch the the behind-the-scenes stuff, the theory behind LCARS is that is reconfigured itself to fit each user's preferences. This is not mentioned in any on-screen dialog though, but if we were to take that and run with it,, the answer would be because Worf preferred it that way. 😀

     @jxself They might be running free software, but who's to say they are not locked down? Why does Worf use the same interface theme as Wesley?

     @khleedril Not if it's Worf's choice.

     @jxself ... in other words, they are locked into it.

     @fglnm Presumably during the voice interface, like "Computer:..." or via the various terminal interfaces.
