@drwho @ocean @autisticplushy they still have to pay ICANN at least, or whichever organisation is in charge of each domain.

@zanchey@aus.social I think I'll be happy to go the the rest of my life not having to know that.

@neurovagrant@masto.deoan.org you leave those 4GB of white space alone!

@hipsterelectron @SecureOwl there's a lot of qr and similar 1D and 2D codes used on delivery stuff that I could see why it would at least parse codes. I guess going to the url would be more information gathering and if information hoarding is the plan it kinda makes sense.

@drwho @ocean @autisticplushy the point of the original post is that GoDaddy is allegedly registering domains that people *consider* registering, then try to sell them as a premium domain. If GoDaddy doesnt register the domain then it doesn't cost them anything, but if they are actually registering them then they will.

@almonds @ocean are they actually registering them or just suggesting unregistered ones to you? The wording "before its gone" makes me think the latter but I wouldn't be surprised either way.

@bitbear@icosahedron.website @nina_kali_nina@tech.lgbt my best guess would be "mber" being caught by some regex or something looking for "number" maybe?

@mattgrayyes@chaos.social small boats not only containing foreigners but basically aliens! (They've never cared about facts before why start now)

@flwwhtrbt had some Snoop Dogg + The Doors playing not that long ago through my PS2. Turns out I'm not as good a racecar driver as I remember being as a child.

@lowqualityfacts@mstdn.social if I eat a mozzarella ball like an apple then its technically a fruit right?

@oatmeal@kolektiva.social I've seen things like basic refactoring, finding and fixing trivial errors, even formatting, as examples of great things an LLM can do, as if any competent IDE (or handful of cli tools) hasn't done that for ages.

@dan @mhoye @jonathankoren more accurate too!

@msh @rebane2001 sounds more like pure eval.

@zzt @the_etrain @slop oh yeah? Well I'm boycotting it! Until the price comes down so I can afford the diesel for my car again.

@serverlessaoife darkside of the Mon?

@timixretroplays@digipres.club regular paper hole punch and some tinfoil?

@mattblaze@federate.social coming from the same people who brought you "but without massive statues glorifying slavers how will we ever remember history!?"

@whitequark@social.treehouse.systems I don't regularly pay attention anymote but who's even paying for certificates these days?

@whitequark@social.treehouse.systems I don't think I've even noticed the extended validation stuff in browsers since they started defaulting to point out when sites were insecure rather than secure. Not a name I'm familiar with but I couldn't actually remember the name of a single CA right now. Haven't paid much attention since like 2015 or so though.

@rachel@transitory.social @mttaggart@infosec.exchange I think this bugs me in the same way as politicians having stopped pretending to not be cartoonishly evil. Obviously it's terrible that is doing bad things, but it felt nicer to live in a world where they felt that they had to lie about it by claiming they weren't doing the bad thing.

@rachel@transitory.social @mttaggart@infosec.exchange I don't even know how you could parody something like this. "Corporation removes (don't be evil | we value safety) from their website"... I'd expect that to end with "after their CEO mysteriously vanished and was replaced by Dr Evil".
