  • They are simply pointing out that “racist” and “bigoted” are just as ambiguous in the exact same way as the “evil”, “harmful”, “good”, “negligent”, “bad”, “unethical” etc he mentions for the other licenses.

    “bigot noun a person who is obstinately or unreasonably attached to a belief, opinion, or faction, especially one who is prejudiced against or antagonistic towards a person or people on the basis of their membership of a particular group.”

    If being a bigot is good/bad/evil/harmful/unethical or not depends entirely on who is calling you one, and what you or society thinks of them. If you think that just because someone is a MAGA/Nazi/Tesla owner that they are bad, congratulations, you are a bigot.


  • Ye. I have all Ikea smart stuff, by default everything is running a local mesh network with physical remotes and that light switch backup.

    You don’t even need to connect any of it to the net, buying a hub to get app & google home/alexa/etc control is entirely optional with the exception of a few sensors, like the moisture/water leak one. And even then, the app & hub work on local wifi with no internet anyway.














  • Maybe. But it’s up to ICANN and their rules, money might not be relevant to them, and with .io, there literally isn’t a single person or company that uses it “correctly” as country TLDs are primarily intended to be used by entities connected to that country, and the territory has no permanent residents, unlike with .su.
    On the flip side, that might work for the case too as well - maybe ICANN decides to make it a generic TLD, like .com or .org instead as it’s not really directly connected to a country?
    We shall see.
