Now I'm curious how the data looks for us nerds over here on the fediverse: where do you register your domains?

If at multiple places, let's interpret this as if you were registering a domain today, where would you register it?

tackily if you don't mind boosting I'd actually like a lot of data on this I'm really curious!

fyi to my fellow domain collecting girlies: .org domains are going up in price 20-30% on 2026-06-01.

This affects all registrars (it's an increase in price from the registry that runs .org).

You can renew in advance - domain expirations can be extended up to ten years from the current date - if you aren't one to give up on your domain dreams.

BTW if your domains aren't already with porkbun they should be. You can transfer pretty easily and will probably save even more money. EXODUS gives you $1 off each transfer bringing it down to $9.74.

Not sponsored, just a rare company in the space that has great prices, great support, transparent/easy to find pricing, and actually likes their customers lol

"This could be construed as a deviation, a feature, or both"

same. hard same.

you don’t have to decide now! take a night and sleep on it/she/her

local gas station wants me to use their app to age verify

not going to say this is the dumbest shit ever because i’m sure surveillance capitalism has something better on the burner

look if you don't want me to call your ceo a medicore white man, either don't send the survey or have a better ceo

this is not on me

at google everyone has to take an annual privacy and security refresher class, and one of the scenarios they use is an imaginary product called gShoe - basically smart glasses but a shoe

the upshot of the lesson was make sure your privacy policy covers data collection correctly or some shit like that

every year for like 5 years i begged them to change this because my good bitch no matter what the privacy policy says it’s not the biggest problem with a shoe camera

no war but class war babes

idk if this is even new, but youtube no longer lets you disable autoplay on music videos

cool cool cool

fediverse feature request: "queers only" post visibility, never worry about a post breaking containment again!

today i learned ao3 is also accessible at archiveofourown.gay

research study: autism may not be a male-dominated disorder, as it is equally prevalent in men and women

man: doubtful and struck by the results “because the sex difference in diagnostic rate is something that’s been pretty consistent across countries and cultures and even across different diagnostic criteria as they’ve changed over time.”

woman: not surprised by the results because other studies have shown indications of these patterns. and, this bit is unstated and my own guess, she probably thought "no fucking shit"

they didn't burn witches, they burned women

I spent most of yesterday dealing with customer service across a bunch of companies. To half of the companies, i am ginny. To the other half i am still my og legal name.

wildest thing happened! half of my experiences were horrendous and i was treated as a nuisance (at best), waste of time, and ignored…… while the other half I got apologized to a bunch and a discount or refund I didn’t even ask for!

happy women’s history month

actual and only slightly rephrased quotes from a thread about the new $600 macbook neo:

"lol these computers are toys they do not have enough ram!" a dude that thinks just because 8gb of ram can't run x86 windows bloat, it isn't good enough for apple silicone

"you can get a chromebook cheaper" a paper notebook won't spy on you, is about as functional, and isn't made of plastic and already falling apart. paper has way better battery life too.

"the new macbook neo sucks, apple hasn't crammed enough AI into their laptops like micrsoft has!!!!" statements by the same truly deranged pc user

boys are so silly and emotional over the stupidest shit

saw some folks doing their part to fight fascism by standing on an overpass with signs that say “honk for democracy”

I’m not gonna to be a bitch and point out how stupid this demonstration is, but i will point out the blatant cultural appropriation of horny people
