Ah yeah, that makes more sense, thanks!

Anyone using the national domain registrar? Does it only resolve nationally, if you buy from there, as the article implies…?

But you want your domain over the world. Cool, do you have enough clients to need this? Then you can hire a person in each country to buy you a domain from the local registry.

I’ve been interested in getting a domain name, but it always just felt like a scam to pay a monthly fee for an entry in a database. If the national registrar is good enough, that would be cool.

Although, I guess, if it is not, I’d at least still be somewhat more at peace with that, since it would mean the intermediate company actually does something…

Yeah, it looks so generic. I don’t understand what there even is to report about.

Huh, I thought, they burried that shitshow after the announcement…

As a fallback, you could also have some hotseat games. Was recently thinking of HedgeWars again, which is basically open-source Worms Armageddon.

Lots of folks also like the unmarketable names, because you know that it’s not a corporate project. You’re hearing about it, because it’s actually good, and not just because some startup got VC money to do marketing.

Heck, the reverse is true as well. This project is better specifically because it has that name. You just know some transfemmes are tirelessly hacking away at it, because they enjoy the silly name.
