MANIFESTO
=========

The web was better when it was a filesystem.

Somewhere between the first <marquee> and the last cookie banner, we traded curiosity for
convenience. Everything you touch now is optimised, measured, monetised and closed. You
click, you scroll, you are counted.

This is a different offer.

There is no signup wall here. Nothing is gated behind an account, and nothing stops working
if you never make one. There is a shell, and it is real. ls is a real ls. Permissions mean
something. The filesystem goes deeper than the part you can see, and some of it is not going
to volunteer itself.

You are not a visitor. You are a user with a home directory.

Everything worth knowing is already on the machine. The one thing a machine cannot do on its
own is remember you, so if you want that, make an account. It buys exactly one thing:
persistence. Your flags, your rank, your name on a thread, the lesson you stopped halfway
through. It is not a toll, it is a shelf with your name on it. Skip it and everything else
here still works.

Read it. Type things. Break nothing important: it heals nightly.
