@Parienve How would you have done it differently?
Stick with .com,.net, and cctlds?
Make registration in the root namespace cheap like it is for .com? (who picks the rules then? With the gtlds you get to choose registries.)

@Parienve We only need a few tlds though. It's not like apple is really getting special treatment.

@Parienve That would be fine if the .net tld hadn't already existed IMO. It looks like Apple themselves applied for and created .apple https://icannwiki.org/.apple

@fluffy Literally me every time I take my girlfriend to a restaurant.

@Parienve Why? That's not related.
Anyone can apply for gtlds: https://newgtlds.icann.org/en/applicants/global-support/faqs/faqs-en

@rlamacraft No one can make a website with the address grannysmith.swiley.net. Why? Because that's how namespaces work.

@deutrino Unless they're going to have a mortgage payment moratorium I don't know how they expect to keep that going indefinitely.

@bluejay That sounds like a base rate error. Aren't 70% or so of UK adults vaccinated?

@freemo Maybe approachable is a better word. I feel like I could convince my parents to buy that more easily than a Pinephone.

@freemo It looks like they're using Halium ("libhybris") to me. It is nice to see a more popular smartphone manufacturer putting effort into Linux compatibility though.

@freemo That's pretty interesting.

@freemo Does it? I don't think that SoC has free drivers (certainly not mainline and the PMOS page is a mess.)

@thor I lived on Taco Bell in college.

@stux eww

@fluffy A lot more than that's worth lol.

@0 You can pretty much do whatever you want here as long as you pay taxes and give the full time employees health insurance.

@icedquinn Didn't he like Pascal though?
