Trump's AI rebrand causes 'unprecedented' demand for Slovenian website names

Why is SLOVENIA using the SI domain? “Slovenian Internet,” perhaps?
Replying to @thousandyardstare@lemmy.dbzer0.com
ISO standardized abbreviations are mandatory for country-domains.
Even Trump cannot change “.us” into “.tr” :-) (but please don’t tell him anyway)
Replying to @Zwuzelmaus@feddit.org
No, but he could definitely pull some strings to get IANA to add .trump as a new gTLD (honestly, I’m surprised it hasn’t already happened - I had to check) and the government has no obligation to continue using .us or .gov as far as I know.
Replying to @egrets@lemmy.world
Doesn’t need to pull any strings. You can buy almost any new gTLD you want, for the rich the price is chump change.
Replying to @Tanoh@lemmy.world
Yes, but Trump only pretends to be rich
Replying to @Maestro@fedia.io
I don’t think that’s true any more. It might have been a few years ago, but he’s legalized bribery with his shitcoins etc since then.
Replying to @Maestro@fedia.io
With all the corruption and kickbacks, he is rich now.
That just gives him a reason to invade Turkey.

Sierra Leone became a country before Slovenia. First come first serve.

To confuse people with fonts where I and l look similar.

How is it spelled in the local language?
Replying to @LodeMike@lemmy.today
Slovenija
Replying to @_Lemmy@lemmy.world
So Slovinia then. Two letter country codes would have a lot of conflicts no matter how you slice it.
Replying to @return2ozma@lemmy.world
lol there isn’t “unprecedented demand,” it’s a $15/year charge for these big companies and they buy every domain they can think of, what’s one more?
What’s the best TLD for rapists and nazis?

.gov

Ive heard that all of the big domains have been bought up months ago, so another insider trading scheme from Trump.

When the name is worth more than the product, you know the whole industry is bullshit.
