I want to share my recent terrible experience with NJALLA in c/[email protected]

[–] starshipwinepineapple 15 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago) (1 children)

Wait, if they suspended your domain, can you even transfer it away? if not, that's really fucking scary.

Njalla takes ownership of every domain purchased on their platform. They do let you transfer domains to another registrar where you could be the owner if your account is in good standing but seems like that may not be the case here (since account suspended)

That may be great for some domain use cases but for most stuff it would be better to have your name on the domain registration

The article mentions that the letter indicated intent to petition with the USPTO to cancel the Javascript trademark due to abandonment. Hopefully that is successful since that seems to be the best outcome short of Oracle willingly forfeiting it.

Do You Still Use Git in the Terminal? in c/meta

[–] starshipwinepineapple 3 points 2 months ago

I use my IDE for basic things, but anything more involved i use git directly. It's really not as intimidating as it's made out to be. I'm no expert by any means but i know enough to get around and read the docs when i need help

From what i can tell there are no transaction fees for sponsorships from personal accounts, and organizations pay 6% (or 3% if invoicing). (Source)

Is there something else I'm not seeing?
