    The .io domain might be in trouble

  • The reason is because ccTLDs need to match the alpha-2 code of the country as it exists in ISO 3166-1. This is because IANA doesn’t want to be the arbiter of which countries exist or not. You get a code, you get a ccTLD. No code, no ccTLD.

  • .su exists in spite of the policy of IANA, not because of them. The popularity of a ccTLD has no relevance to its continued existence.

  • ITT: People who think this won’t happen because they don’t understand the first thing about IANA, ICANN, their policies, ccTLDs, or the history of this kind of thing happening before. While ICANN has the authority to allow the .io domain to continue to exist, it would be a complete reversal on their newly established policy for retiring ccTLDs, which was primarily motivated by being burned on this exact type of thing happening before.

    A good example is the .yu ccTLD which after a long back and forth was finally retired in 2010.

  • That is not what will happen. 2 letter TLDs are reserved for ccTLDs.

  • Yes, that is how the ccTLD is enforced by IANA.. And it is in fact an automatic process. There is a policy for requesting a single 5 year extension, but that extension request must be accompanied by a retirement plan, otherwise by policy the ccTLD has a 5 year grace period before being removed.

    They will not retire a domain under heavy use such as .io.

    Heavy use has not stopped them from attempting to retire other ccTLDs, it just delays the process.

  • That is how it works.

    The current ccTLDs that have outlived their countries still exist because the retirement policy wasn’t finalized until 2022 and in all cases, ICANN has been moving towards retiring them.

    You gave .su as an example for IANA not retiring ccTLDs, but the .su debacle is one of the major motivators behind their policy of retiring all ineligible ccTLDs.

    ICANN could allow the .io domain to live on, but doing so would be a complete 180 from their current policy.

  • Multiple instances are confusing because they matter a whole hell of a lot, and understanding exactly how instances federate things to each other is absolutely crucial to having a good experience on the fediverse.

    Anyone who thinks it’s simple or doesn’t matter, or makes that annoying comparison to email really just don’t understand how the fediverse actually works.

  • I don’t think the importance of the information stored changes the fact that storing it all in one centralized place is generally a bad idea. The latter is a bad idea, the former is a bad idea but with worse consequences. A decentralized internet is a healthy internet.

  • This is just Material Design a set of design principles and components by Google for developers to use.

    Material Design is an adaptable system of guidelines, components, and tools that support the best practices of user interface design. Backed by open-source code, Material Design streamlines collaboration between designers and developers, and helps teams quickly build beautiful products.

  • I am by no means a YTM Stan and I agree it’s not a great app, but at the same time I struggle to think of one that’s objectively better, besides the now defunct Google Play Music. And that was only really better because it was easier to navigate.

  • Yeah and why do we have more than one news organization, when we could just have one official news channel and you’d never have to go searching for news articles again. And we could have one central bank that holds all of our money, that would make sending money around much easier.

  • How annoying is it to connect to VPN/use Tailscale instead of being able to access the service directly?

    Jump

  • If you have an iPhone, it’s a pain over Tailscale because Tailscale frequently likes to disconnect for various reasons and this isn’t something Tailscale can fix, it’s something with the way Apple manages background processes.

    If you’d like an alternative, you can host your services directly to the internet via a reverse proxy like Caddy or Nginx, and then use mTLS to secure that access with a certificate you load only onto your devices.

  • If that’s your definition of a low bar, then it hasn’t really fallen so much as it’s always been that low. From the beginning, games have gone without cutscenes, plot, even dialogue. Many of the greatest and most beloved games of this decade and the last have had sub par stories, and often times no plot, cutscenes, or characters to speak of at all, and yet they’re some of the best of all time. They’re three of the least important things for a game to have after all, especially the Borderlands games, where the story is little more than a vehicle to deliver more gameplay, and the gameplay in 3 is the best of the series. Thats the only thing that really matters when it comes to people wanting to play games.

  • Yeah people were spoiled by how good the characters and story were in Borderlands 2. They forgot how Borderlands 1 didn’t even really have a plot and for the most part doesn’t need one.

  • …yeah? It’s a video game, not a movie. Why would anyone let three things that aren’t crucial to a game stop them from enjoying the things that are crucial to a game? The skip cutscene button works just fine lol.
