minus-squaresem@lemmy.blahaj.zonelinkfedilinkarrow-up1·3 个月前I never said they were. I just said .d means directory in another context
minus-squarewhithom@discuss.onlinelinkfedilinkarrow-up1·3 个月前Well, a .com is a CP/M binary file introduced in ~1975, whereas the TLD wasn’t introduced until 1985. So, put that in your pipe and smoke it. 😝
minus-squaresem@lemmy.blahaj.zonelinkfedilinkarrow-up1·3 个月前Yeah that’s weird too. So would a TLD of .txt or .doc or can you imagine a TLD of .html? They’re all weird just to various degrees. Why would you want .d as a TLD? To me it would just be weird and confusing.
minus-squarewhithom@discuss.onlinelinkfedilinkarrow-up1·3 个月前.a, .b, .c… Why are they limiting us? Seems like ICANN has an unfair position. Someone should start a competing dns that allows domain registrations with single letter domains. That’s kind of how .onion works (for dns)
minus-squaresem@lemmy.blahaj.zonelinkfedilinkarrow-up1·3 个月前You haven’t answered why somebody would want these confusing tlds
minus-squarewhithom@discuss.onlinelinkfedilinkarrow-up1·3 个月前A url is a url. If your only concern is that it might be confusing to the user, then we shouldn’t have TLDs at all. googIe.com and google.com are different. What now? Force serif fonts?
But TLDs are not “UNIX”

It’s not confusing. It’s just a tld.
Alright Mr. https://google.com.html/
