I mean IANA or whatever literally made up a standard where two letter TLDs were reserved for countries even if they aren’t how those countries refer to themselves, see gr for Greece. I’m assuming .io just stands for Indian Ocean in this case, which seems like probably not how the chagosans self identify. Then you have countries like Montenegro that have .me and realized it means something in English so capitalized on it by licensing a company to resell .me domains.

I don’t think I have any particular point other than I think it’s dumb to have a system of artificial scarcity be the only alternative to having to remember the IP of every damn site I want to use.

It’s a bizarre fix to a “feature” no one really asked for. It’s like if you gave Rainman a shoebox of photos and he insisted on showing you photos datestamped with today’s calendar date every day and was like “who’s this lady?” And you’re like “dude i don’t wanna talk about it we broke up”

Too bad it literally doesn’t matter what we want…

Now kiff 😁

Why would they apologize for doing what they were paid to do? The hyperloop’s entire purpose was to keep the personal automobile hopium alive for as long as possible. If anything they’re going to apologize to shareholders for not delaying sensible infrastructure investment further.
