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

Python 3.13 is adding support for removing GIL, via PEP 703

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.

I really like that it is a static website being updated and built on a schedule from github actions.

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?

The whole idea to check the donations came from stumbling upon this post which discussed costs per user. Even $1/mo is quite a bit more than the average user cost. So $2 isn't so measly when putting it into that perspective!

In fairness websites from 2000-2004 werent all that better

Were there better ways to make a site? Absolutely, but it is much less wild than if you told me that this happened last week. Plus i would hope they were just churning out websites for cheap since a lot places didn't have a website, or they used geocities/similar
