What about the Xindi?
As an American, I didn't get it either.
Nausicans of all species had working temporal technology thousands of years in the past!!!
Is it possible they merely discovered the portal and carved the notice on to it?
I wonder if it's really time healing itself, or someone healing time.
Taking the idea of temporal wars and a department of temporal investigation to its logical end, it's like what they said in the second Bill and Ted movie. Only the winner can go back and change things. We can speculate that, at some point in time, the most powerful time-traveling organization possible exists and is actively trying to maintain the meta-timeline that leads to its existence.
You might be thinking of Gen X. Millennial parents are either Gen X or Baby Boomers.
Kind of. People are calling the next generation after Z Gen Alpha.
But that's subject to change. They used to call Millennials Gen Y or Mini Boomers.
Well, as long as a distinction is made. I appreciate the information. I still feel that "decentralized" should be replaced with "polycentric," but I'll accept that "decentralized" is the standard term for a system with multiple centers.
Then what would you call a network where specific data isn't tied to specific nodes and lost when the node goes down?
I think "polycentric" is a better term than "decentralized."
Every instance is a center, and is vulnerable to failure and corruption like any service provider. But at least we have a choice of instances, and there isn't a single point of failure for the whole network.
Well, it seems as though this thread suggests yes. But I hope that's not going to lead to ideological infighting and gatekeeping. We have a common goal in creating a more free social network, and the whole point of the Fediverse is that no one owns it.
I'm a fan. Go ahead and downvote me.
That makes sense.
