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.
