A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.

In July, there was a sudden spike in .SI (Slovenia) domain name sales, and now that Trump has announced AI will be rebranded SI, their owners are attempting to resell them for millions of dollars.

This is why I needs a character with the tops and bottom lines, I thought it was Sl not SI....okay yes different if I recalled upper case but brain doesn't always differentiate properly at first glance between upper and lower case (unsure if noticable second one was lower case L, but confusing helps make my point).

Also just another grift from the tangerine con man. I bet he barely knows what's going on these days just shouts at things until they pump him fill of medicatiins to be as coherent as we're used to seeing. Thankfully for their work, he was rarely coherent.

Considering it's the domain for Slovenia, it's understandable you'd assume L instead of i... Had double-check it myself.

Wonder how many .SL domains are out there and whether they have similar names for a much lower price.
