minus-squaresem@lemmy.blahaj.zonelinkfedilinkarrow-up1·2 个月前I never said they were. I just said .d means directory in another context
minus-squarewhithom@discuss.onlinelinkfedilinkarrow-up1·2 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-up1·2 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-up1·2 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-up1·2 个月前You haven’t answered why somebody would want these confusing tlds
When does .d mean directory?
In UNIX
But TLDs are not “UNIX”

It’s not confusing. It’s just a tld.
