Title: remove pathlib.Path with URIs
State: closed

Pathlib will convert "//" to "/" which causes retry errors when downloading from cloud storage

Comments:
Thanks !
`os.path.join` will use a backslash `\` on windows which will also fail. You can use this instead in `load_from_disk`:
```python
from .filesystems import is_remote_filesystem

is_local = not is_remote_filesystem(fs)
path_join = os.path.join if is_local else posixpath.join
```

Thank you ! I did a minor change to not have to define a new function and I ran the CI. If it's green we can merge :)

_The documentation is not available anymore as the PR was closed or merged._

lol it's a battle of +1 imports or +1 functions. LGTM, I was editing fast and swapped which branch gets os vs Path. Should be ok now 🤙
