Ayy nice mom you got, be a shame if sumthing were to happen to her, capiche?

[–] Mechanize@feddit.it 152 points 2 years ago (1 child)

I assumed it was a shitpost, instead it is a real tweet. What a time to be alive.

Jokes aside the only real reason I can fathom for the collectibles company to call their mother is because they had used it as the contact number in the registry. I would be surprised if this was some kind of intimidation tactic instead of just miscommunication - in the sense they probably just wanted to legally intimidate the itch's owner not their immediate family. They are not 2K ^/s^.

What will happen to itch.io when the British get rid of their overseas Indian Ocean territory? Can they keep the .io Top Level Domain?

[–] steventhedev@lemmy.world 68 points 2 years ago (17 children)

Once the treaty is signed, the .io cctld will phase out over 5 years.

Unless ICANN get greedy and grant an exemption.

Could Mauritius choose to keep .io? The income it would bring in would probably be bigger than their GDP.

ccTLDs are based on the ISO two letter country codes - it's deferring the responsibility for cleaning up the British mess to ISO

parent

[–] nixcamic@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago (1 child)

But why did the Indian ocean territories ever have an ISO country code, they were never a country? It doesn't make sense that a territory should lose its TLD just cause it changes countries.

Yes. That's not what the regulation says, but exceptions are made all the time.

parent

[–] Hoimo@ani.social 11 points 2 years ago (8 children)

Couldn't they just move .io to a different category? Or are TLDs never reused once they lose their original designation?

parent

[–] sawdustprophet@midwest.social 15 points 2 years ago (4 children)

Couldn't they just move .io to a different category?

Specifically the issue is that two letter TLDs are reserved exclusively for countries/governments. So far only one exception has been made to this rule, .su for the Soviet Union. So another exemption is certainly possible.

[–] iknowitwheniseeit@lemmynsfw.com 16 points 2 years ago

Meh. There's also .UK, which is not the country code for the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland... that's GB.

We also have .EU, so this stuff is all pretty flexible in some sense.

parent

[–] DreamlandLividity@lemmy.world 12 points 2 years ago

As I understand it, the .su was not really an intentional exception as much as it happened before the strict rules were written down.

parent

[–] SomethingBurger@jlai.lu 12 points 2 years ago

.su isn't an exception. The rule was created so the .su situation doesn't happen again.

parent

[–] captainlezbian@lemmy.world 4 points 2 years ago

It is weird to imagine a world in which glasnost kept the union together and we have active .su domains around. I imagine they'd be less suspicious than .ru in our timeline but not a lot less

parent

[–] int_not_found@feddit.org 4 points 2 years ago

2 Letter TLDs are always country codes (and ccTLDs are always 2 Letters long). So moving them to another category is technically possible, but unprecedented and improbable.

parent

[–] AA5B@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago (1 child)

They’re not just country codes, but match a list of two character country codes defined by the UN

Country codes are defined by the ISO, which is not UN run.

Well Russia still kept .su after the USSR dissolved, so why not? It's a convenient source of income.

I do NOT get these things. They have creepy beady eyes an the nature of the product limits opportunity for details and distinction so they all look pretty generic! You might even NEED the box to tell you what it is. Soulless garbage being mass produced for landfills and seemed to outwear their welcome at least 5 years ago..

Pretty sure they're just slightly higher quality 3D printed vinyl figures. Probably cost pennies to make.

I've seen stores with walls of funko pops on display. I've never seen stores with gaps in their walls of funko pops, or evidence that they are moving many. Were their sales ever really that great to justify the amount of inventory they've produced?

My own interest has only gotten as far as "Oh hey, I recognize that character. Yep, they've got a bunch of Naruto characters, or at least generic funko pops with clothing like those characters wear. I wonder what else this store has."

Can I just point out this was standard practice for debt collectors like 15 years ago? Seriously they'd try to call your job, your family, neighbors and if they could, even friends to harass you to collect on the debt they bought rights to collect.
