An engineering blessing:
"May you never be the reason for a new safety sign"
I'm considering a radical redesign of the filesystem hierarchy.
We expose a Unix-like API. But an API doesn't define an OS. The user experience does. And I want FNX to be its own thing, not yet-another-Unix-clone.
Maybe something like this:
/
System/
Configuration/ (config files)
Devices/ (devfs mount point)
Documentation/ (All system documentation)
Libraries/ (.a files provided by the system)
Source Code/ (Full system source code tree)
Tools/ (Replacement for /bin, /sbin, /usr/bin, etc.)
Users/
Admin/ (/root equivalent)
Shared/ (Files shared by all users)
$USER/ (/home/$USER equivalent)
@mos_8502 looks good. The whole usr bin etc thing was a pragmatic decision anyway. The history of the decisions is interesting. I like your logic here, it makes sense to me.
@AnarchoNinaWrites yeah... This started, well, in the beginning, as you have pointed innumerable times.
Everybody laughed when he called "Antifa" a domestic terrorist organization, but actually it was a trap. If Antifa is a terrorist org, you don't have to prove the existence of such entity you just made everyone who said is an Antifa a terrorist. The next step is to use that to search for true collectives that call themselves antifascist an you can start shooting them down. Now that you were capable of shooting down collectives you can, circularly, show that Antifa is an actual terrorist network. Now you are able to persecute anyone with the label or a similar ideology.
And they truly made a move. They flexed their capability to shoot down a group by the reason of hosting other groups with "Antifa connections" so now, everybody knows that they can be persecuted for being adjacent to someone Antifa related. So, any structure that give infrastructure for Antifa ideals is a new objective.
The pulpo has extended their limbs to almost every direction. Proton? A terrorist org to be. Fedi instances? A terrorist org to be. And so on.
To have a Buffon as Hitler is a great move, everybody is so busy laughing that they don't see the knife going for the throat.
We truly need lead farmers... A lot of them.... The fruit is ready to reap....
This is the stage where we are about to cross a door to the true cyberpunk dystopia and that door is going to close behind us. By the end of this 5 year cycle the world is gonna be a true hell. We need to stop laughing. The joke is on us.
@LukefromDC We also need to be laying the groundwork for the next generation of decentralized social networking that can't be dismantled this way. The fediverse is incredibly vulnerable to DNS seizure (the technical part of the attack on A/I) to break federation and relationships across instances, and that vulnerability is entirely gratuitous from bad design choices in the protocol and failure to give users autonomous identity.

Proposal accepted!
@mos_8502 Reminds me of Gobo GNU/Linux.

"The idea that an organization that is an alternative host—for email, websites, and other services—could be designated a terrorist organization simply for providing a service that a lot of people want…is scary," EFF’s @jilliancyork told @reasonmagazine. https://reason.com/2026/08/27/rubio-uses-terrorism-law-to-ban-secure-email-service/
@eff @jilliancyork @reasonmagazine
They're literally just calling anyone they don't like a terrorist. Hell, they even called Tucker Carlson a terrorist just for daring to attack Trump while being a conservative.
The domain names of
autistici.org / inventati.org (and noblogs.org) are now suspended.
.org being managed by a US entity they were forced to suspend them due to Autisti (the oldest leftwing Italian collective doing web and mail hosting) being declared a terrorist organisation by Trump
Even for WikiLeaks they didn't do that
The US are clearly a fascist state now....
(Editing so everyone knows: maybe not. They were dead a few hours ago but not anymore)

Et mon enfant est rentré une fois de la nounou avec envie de Rocambole.
On a galéré à comprendre, j'ai cru que le mot était "carambole" (merci Stardew Valley) et je me demandais s'il y avait un lien…
mais en fait, après enquête…
C'était du Rock'n Roll !!

pas la moindre idée de où cet enfant a choppé le mot "Rocambole", ok je manque pas de mots bizarres, mais j'ai aucun souvenir d'avoir prononcé celui-là en sa présence 😅

@heidilifeldman I got an email today from the Maricopa County Recorder's Office (Arizona) letting me know my ballot will be in the mail on October 7th. It sure better be.
@AnarchoNinaWrites he didn't seize anything. His executive orders aren't worth the paper they're written on.
It's probably just a distraction from the invasive carp getting closer to the Great Lakes since this administration cut funding to the program keeping them out and probably some crimes he's committing.
@stellarsarah You are showing a very poor understanding of how imperialism, empire, and wars work. That is all. Thanks and good day.
