  • I think the first filesystems had flat layout (no directories),

    That is true for MS-DOS 1.0. But Unix had a tree structured directory system from the very beginning (early 1970s). And the directory listing command "ls" was basically the same in the first Unix 50 years ago as it is in modern Linux.

  • 'Not in a democracy anymore': Senator sounds alarm as Trump's FCC threatens journalists

    Jump

  • This would be a clear violation of the 1st Amendment, so any "investigative threats" should not be considered in any way as "threats". They should instead be reported to the public as evidence of unamerican activity and disloyalty to America and American values.

  • Revert a 4 year old commit without dealing with conflict hell? I sure wish them luck

    They should just revert every single change since this commit. That will role back all 4 years of Trump's enshitification.

  • Just the whims of a tech billionaire

    And Afrikaner racist. That was the group of people that literally ran a white supremist government in South Africa for 80 years and jailed Nelson Mandela for over 30 years.

  • It fits in perfectly with the real name: Department of Government Enshitification

  • I thought those fucking cretins were supposed to be reducing government waste. How is forcing agencies to paint over murals with positive vibes and update their website to remove magic words a good use of their time and money?

    The best way to understand DOGE is to be aware of what it really means: Department of Government Enshitification. The entire point of it is to generally degrade the quality of government.

  • Senate urged to recall Kash Patel and put him under oath over FBI purge

    Jump

  • Hmm this section sounds familiar:

    There is another parallel between Venezuela and Traitorapist Trump. Like us and Nazi Germany, their whole mess happened because they allowed a failed coup leader to come to power who should have been disqualified from the start.

  • “deep state”

    That is really just a synonym for "democratic state". Whenever someone attacks the "deep state", they actually mean "democratic state". Whenever you come across the phrase, "deep state", just auto-correct it in your own mind to "democratic state" for crystal clarity.

  • Elon Musk email to X staff: ‘we’re barely breaking even’

    Jump

  • He is a terrible manager.

    I still can't get over how Musk told computer programmers to print out hardcopies of all their source changes, and then fly to Musk's city to show him the hardcopy. That alone proves Musk is the dumbest CEO of all time.

  • Did you know the world was protesting against Trump on inauguration day? Or was this news hidden from you?

    Jump

  • Non Americans think the same thing Americans do. That Traitorapist Trump is a narcisstic buffoon not worth your attention. That he is a notorious Liar who is going to lie 30000+ times in the next 4 years like his average last time. And that he is going to throw food on the wall at the White House an average of 1-2 times per week like his average last time.

    Jump

  • Scary part is that the protests within America were not covered, or were barely mentioned.

    You can NOT rely on the media to cover the important stuff, or to tell you what is important. This is because (1) the billion owned media wants you do be apathetic so they can get gigantic GOP tax cuts for the rich, and (2) the average journalist does not have any special skill set in letting them know what is important, and (3) journalists and editors are lazy and only cover what other outlets are covering.

    You have to work extra hard to understand reality, and things like Lemmy help with that.

  • A huge barrier for some is picking the instance and figuring which community they should follow.

    Figuring out which communities on which servers to subscribe to is way more important than figuring out which server to post from.
