Those subdomains are not managed or controlled by the registrar

I might be getting the terminology wrong, I’ve not had to work too closely with the specifics of subdomains in my career, lol. But you can definitely have blah.itch.io points to a different IP than itch.io and that’s done through DNS. So if they suspected blah.itch.io to be a phishing site imitating Funko’s site, it makes sense that they’d report it to the people controlling that.

And yeah, it looks like Itch does use sub domains for user pages instead of URL paths. https://xk.itch.io/ So if some user’s page was trying to imitate Funk’s site then I could see this line of thought. I’d need to see the page that was supposedly imitating and what it was imitating to really make a judgement call though.

I have a theory that what we refer to as retro doesn’t advance by a year every year. In the same way words like “antique” and “vintage” bring about specific time periods and aesthetics, “retro” does as well. I’m just pulling a number out of my ass here, but say it’s like every three years that go by one year is added to what we call retro. That would mean it would take 15 years from the time we begin viewing SNES as retro to view PS1 as retro because they were released five years apart. So, if we say PS1 is retro now, that would mean we began to view SNES as retro in 2009. This sounds right, maybe? It’s hard to put myself back in that time period, but I definitely would’ve called NES games retro in 2009, but SNES it’s harder to say.

This methodology is flawed because of “retro” is tied to an aesthetic or time period then at some point nothing new will ever be considered “retro” and we’d eventually begin using a different term to refer to things from later.

A good example is “oldies” on the Radio. Nothing newer is really entering the group of songs we consider oldies.

It’s a common misunderstanding, sadly. Here’s a Wikipedia article on a relevant supreme court case. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Texas_v._Johnson

Talk about burying the lede!

Hey, so if BrandShield is being honest, what’s Itch’s registrar? What do they have to say? 🍿 This keeps getting deeper.

Makes me wonder if the report was for something like itch.io/blah but it took the whole site down. If they’re not being dishonest, I could see going to registrar about a site imitating to be yours for phishing.

Funko still deserves some flak for, at least, using an automated tool (or a setting) that is so insanely aggressive. Maybe the registrar holds some blame too.

It was so much better than I thought it was going to be.

I watched The Substance via streaming alone on my birthday night because my wife and partner aren’t into body horror. I loved it! It was really good. Definitely one of the better movies I’ve seen this year.

It’s still useful because others will have the same question.

Balatro. I only own it on Android. I don’t think the experience is significantly reduced on Android as opposed to PC/other platforms.

I don’t necessarily see the problem. It’s not like every construction is up to code.

I just dumped my obsidian workspace into a folder synced by Google Drive.

Wrong(ish). You’re correct in that you cannot revoke previous licenses, but you can license new code differently if all copyright holders agree.

Should we add a little key? Should we add a little line? Who the fuck are you? I’m a brat when I’m forkin’ that.

Haven’t watched the vid yet, but my opinion on Kickstarter is that funding anything other than things like board games isn’t worth the risk. With simple physical objects they’re done and just need money to begin mass production.

Documentation is not the proper place for an absolute beginner to learn (unless it explicitly has tutorials, and even then they’re not always great).

Also, don’t forget manuals have pages lol. I forget how many there are. 99% of the time you just need page 1.

When you’re sold a version of nostalgia for something you never experienced.

It’s more realistic to realize a friend is actually a bully.
