Itโ€™s a 3yr timeframe, nothing to do today but be aware.

Good to know.

TLD is a shitcoin. You only truly own .onion

Don't get me started on the absolute shittiness of .us TLDs!

Would love to see an exception made for this. The end of the article makes the point, there is indeed a lot of money tied up in that TLD.

I have one for personal use, and while I don't earn money through it, losing mine will still be disruptive to more than just me. We got time though. Appreciate the PSA!

CRAZY READ.

GOOD REMINDER THAT DOMAINS ARE SHITCOINS.

What I find confusing is why it has to go away. We have all kinds of bullshit domains now that it could just become another one of those. It doesn't need to go away to stop being a country domain. Tons of people in tech use it for I/O, myself included. I would think that there are far more websites using it that have nothing to do with the country anyway.

But we shouldn't have such centralized control of web domains. I doubt it will be easy to fully replace given how much traffic has been reduced to a relative handful of domains that have no interest in change.

Wow! ๐Ÿ‘€
