history

<p>&quot;On August 6, 1991 [34 years ago], the first website was introduced to the world. [It] contained information about the World Wide Web Project. It launched at the European Organization for Nuclear Research, CERN, where it was created by British computer scientist Tim Berners-Lee.&quot;</p><p><a href="http://info.cern.ch/hypertext/WWW/TheProject.html" rel="nofollow" class="ellipsis" title="info.cern.ch/hypertext/WWW/TheProject.html"><span class="invisible">http://</span><span class="ellipsis">info.cern.ch/hypertext/WWW/The</span><span class="invisible">Project.html</span></a></p><p>Happy birthday, web!</p><p>Via <a href="https://www.npr.org/2021/08/06/1025554426/a-look-back-at-the-very-first-website-ever-launched-30-years-later" rel="nofollow" class="ellipsis" title="www.npr.org/2021/08/06/1025554426/a-look-back-at-the-very-first-website-ever-launched-30-years-later"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">www.npr.org/2021/08/06/1025554</span><span class="invisible">426/a-look-back-at-the-very-first-website-ever-launched-30-years-later</span></a></p><p><a href="/tags/theweb/" rel="tag">#TheWeb</a> <a href="/tags/internet/" rel="tag">#internet</a> <a href="/tags/worldwideweb/" rel="tag">#WorldWideWeb</a> <a href="/tags/firstwebsite/" rel="tag">#FirstWebsite</a> <a href="/tags/history/" rel="tag">#history</a> <a href="/tags/otd/" rel="tag">#OTD</a></p>

<p>Initially, Linus Torvalds wanted to call the kernel he developed Freax (a combination of &quot;free&quot;, &quot;freak&quot;, and the letter X to indicate that it was a Unix-like system), but his friend Ari Lemmke, who administered the FTP server where the kernel was first hosted, named Torvalds&#x27; directory linux. So, the name &quot;Linux&quot; (Linus Unix) was stuck.

I like the historian Timothy Snyder&#x27;s observations about what has been happening in the US with respect to ICE recently, and why it is different from previous actions of this agency. I&#x27;ll paraphrase him, so errors and omissions are mine.<br><br>Here&#x27;s one point: masked thugs in mismatched camo are breaking laws that include abducting, assaulting, and executing people, and the regime is attempting to force us all to refer to this as &quot;law enforcement&quot;. For all the many criticisms one might aim at US law enforcement, members typically wear blue, show their faces, and doctrinally aspire to behave transparently and professionally (please don&#x27;t @ me with your critiques of law enforcement or hashtag ACAB comments; this is not meant as a defense, only a contrast. I&#x27;ve been beaten and teargassed by cops and witnessed far worse so I am acquainted with this aspect of US &quot;law enforcement&quot;).<br><br>In other words the regime is attempting to change consensus reality so that Americans accept that the phrase &quot;law enforcement&quot; includes random, unprovoked breaking and entering by heavily armed masked men into homes or vehicles, assaults, and summary executions on the street, targeting all citizens. They want this to be a normal and accepted occurrence anywhere and at any time. Much as one might criticize previous administration&#x27;s immigration policies---and one might really really criticize those---this attempt to shift consensus on &quot;law enforcement&quot; to include summary executions of anyone and all the rest is new (It is not new for certain groups; what I think Snyder is saying is that it&#x27;d be new for everyone to be targeted in this way, and for most people to accept that&#x27;s just how it is now).<br><br>Snyder also points out that the border plays an important role here because it is where the country, and therefore the law, ends. In other words, it&#x27;s not coincidental that the regime chose to elevate ICE. Historically, authoritarian regimes have a marked tendency to expand the lawlessness and indefiniteness of border zones to include the entire territory of the country, and the current regime is no different. Immigrants and immigration aren&#x27;t the only targets here. The larger aim is to indefinitely suspend the rule of law nationwide by making the entire nation into a border zone (Recall the Texas governor kidnapping immigrants and shipping them to &quot;blue states&quot;, a classic attempt to spread resentment of immigrants throughout the country). Again, this is a narrative move, an attempt to shift consensus reality.<br><br>So, one way to resist is to simply not accept either of these attempts to change reality. Continue to refer to what&#x27;s happening as unacceptable, not who we are, etc. Continue to point out that out of control border &quot;enforcement&quot; has led to street executions. Continue to name these actions as the criminal acts of thugs. Continue to pressure people with power, such as lawmakers, to do the same. Not out of some misguided or naive nationalism or patriotism, but in order to keep a stake firmly planted in the ground against the forces attempting to move it. This is something we can all do.<br><br>Incidentally, all eyes on Haitian and Haitian-American people in Ohio over the coming weeks. The Haiti Temporary Protected Status designation ends this coming Tuesday, February 3, 2026. Haitians in Springfield were specifically abused during the Trump campaign. The US has a long history of abusing and dehumanizing Haitians dating back at least to Thomas Jefferson, so the Trump campaign rhetoric was no outlier or anomaly. Haiti is also one of the countries specifically named in the US State Dept&#x27;s announcement about indefinitely halting immigrant visa processing. It would not be surprising if the next ICE &quot;surge&quot; targeted Haitian immigrants in Ohio given how the groundwork&#x27;s been laid.<br><br><a href="/tags/uspol/" rel="tag">#USPol</a> <a href="/tags/ice/" rel="tag">#ICE</a> <a href="/tags/history/" rel="tag">#history</a> <a href="/tags/authoritarianism/" rel="tag">#authoritarianism</a> <a href="/tags/tyranny/" rel="tag">#tyranny</a> <a href="/tags/resistance/" rel="tag">#resistance</a> <a href="/tags/resist/" rel="tag">#resist</a> <a href="/tags/narrative/" rel="tag">#narrative</a> <a href="/tags/immigration/" rel="tag">#immigration</a> <a href="/tags/haiti/" rel="tag">#Haiti</a><br>
