Two letters TLD like .io are ISO country codes. Catalonia's .cat is a generic TLD in comparison. Since .io stands for the British Indian Ocean Territory and Chagos Island isn't going to be 'separate' anymore by becoming part of Mauritius, IANA's logic is that the ccTLD has to be retired. That .su is still around after the collapse of USSR isn't a valid argument for them.

I have enough PTSD from the aptly named TouchWiz era. I simply can't imagine all those Samsung executives nodding approvingly with the powerpoint presentation in their offices.

I enjoy occasional co-op gaming with people I know personally. Faceless strangers teabagging me and throwing racist insults like raging 13 year olds who just got addicted to Mountain Dew? No thanks bud, I'd rather spend an entire day scrolling through Netflix catalogues without actually watching them or something.

They probably did that to prevent "concerned citizens" from attacking their property.

If only banks and government websites moved their asses and stopped mentioning Internet Explorer for one more time...

Implementing an in-house encryption was raising eyebrows already back then. No e2ee as default was also a red flag since it gives users without proper knowledge a false sense of security.

An unintended benefit of using Qubes is that everything is a virtual machine and physical disks have to be manually attached to a vm before doing operations like dd. I haven't had to worry about accidentally nuking my main partition for a while.

Which is why China is also pushing hard for AI as well.

Another piece of internet history now gone. Perhaps not deleted, but hidden beneath Goggle's own archives until they degrade away.

No one wants to be at the receiving end of the Russian roulette.

I bet they'll say staying healthy without getting sick equals robbing from hospitals and pharmaceutical companies.

Schools and universities in principle should be the place where they're introduced to what really means to own a computer. The trend however seems to give out everyone a locked down e-waste with proprietary restrictions all over the place.

We could have gone for already proven and tested conventions like the resistor color codes and have a unique distinguishable icon for each features to attach when needed (like thunder icon for high power). But nope, we got this USB 3.2 Gen 4 2x2 Hyper Turbocharged World Champions and Knuckles Platinum Edition bs instead.

America, fuck yeah.

The early internet also had personal website vanishing or being abandoned all the time. Static webpages don't need constant maintenance but it's more noticeable when it's a community.

At least there are some criticisms. Considering it's LinkedIn, forever, it will get drowned by a sea of synergy pivoting lunatics.

Bad opsec and illusion of anonymity will likely render all the extra steps null, most likely. Case in point, we've been reminding people not to torrent through Tor for years.

AI: Actually Indians

He'll become the Edison from our era, and I'm just want to stop hearing his name.
