@tveskov Relax, guys - Musk had to pay 44 billion $ to revive his dream of owning a big company called "X". You can pay 12$

@tveskov I want to share because I'm in this picture, but could you please add an alt text before?

Something like :

picture of two buttons. On the first one is written "admit to yourself your dream is dead". On the second one "pay $12".
On the next panel is a drawing of a man who struggles, sweating a lot. Under the man is written "domain renewal"

@tveskov I've really been hook, line and sinker'd on this one.

@tveskov would love to boost this but I only boost when there’s alt text. Just a friendly reminder that there’s many people who require alt text to participate online and people like me who want to ensure they can.

@tveskov especially if you’ve had it long enough that people still send valid email through it.

@tveskov I can't allow them to own "rechnung.zip" and "surprisepentest.social".

@tveskov for me that was when I let 1-800-HEROES.com go. It was going to be a superhero management game, very much drawing on the vibe of Rockstar Ate My Hamster. Renewed it for years, finally realized I was never going to make significant progress. Someone did eventually do something vaguely similar, I think Doublefine put it out on mobile? I feel validated when that happens :)

@tveskov My rule is 2 years to start work, else I have to let the domain go.

@tveskov just test it on a subdomain of your main and then migrate once it (btw never) gets out of alpha

@tveskov Still more dignified than paying $8 for a Twitter checkmark.

@tveskov I love this, AND I have no idea how URL speculators/collectors handle this problem, especially now that the amount of TLDs has exploded.
