  • It’s pretty distant now, but I did imagine it from a user perspective to be something like a folder structure except you can “tag along” as you go, so that you can find the files from your subjective chain of association rather than remembering how the project is set up. Say to reach the file;

    • /project/year/keyword 1/keyword 2/file
    • /keyword 2/year/project/keyword 3/file

    Consequently, you could have all relevant files collected or filtered depending on how you set up your paths like searching a database rather than keep track of different data structures of different department needs and such.

    So you could call it a mind map of sorts.

    My entry level experiments were with just “tags” (the keywords) but I imagined a file system that would incorporate everything filesystem like permissions, creation/modification dates, and next gen like file history, integration with custom content parsing and version control systems and stuff that are partially reality today with COW filesystems.



  • Watched the first video. Interesting.

    Reminds me of when I realized some twenty years ago that hierarchical filesystems are just a convention and I was daydreaming about a dynamic database-like filesystem where files are stored with meta data in tags that could be addressed according to whatever your chain of association may be. I even conceptual a bridge of how common OS like Windows or Linux could connect and interface such a file system using the familiar system of slashes transparently for the user with all the benefits and none of additional complicated learning. Of course this was way beyond any technical scope of mine and I didn’t bring it to attention beyond nerdy beer conversation.

    Maybe I was on to something.







  • Yes. There is no contradiction. Freedom or speech is the freedom to discuss or criticise as part of a discussion, in particular the freedom to criticize those in power without the fear of repercussion. Discuss sensitive topics to all your hearts desire. Hate speech does not intend to discuss anything. Hate speech is there to target, to threaten, to belittle, to dehumanise, to attack. Hate speech is violence.

    Edit; As usual with this topic “free speech absolutists” emerge, often accompanied by elaborate use of language and a thesaurus. And as usual they are not really into the entire “free speech” as in “freedom of discussion”, but rather “freedom of consequences” for themselves. Well boo hoo, ain’t that a pearl clutching shame of a slippery slope to the strawman of “who are the real Nazis” when not supporting your freedom of unadulterated hatred to run free into the world.
