@Timdmackey @NoraReed Well, it could be worse, like if a very common TLD was the same as the file extension of an executable. Oh, wait 😅 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/COM_file @voxpelli @Timdmackey @NoraReed didn’t the com file go out of regular use before the widespread adoption of the TLD? I seem to recall rarely seeing it by the windows 3.1 era: exe was the executable extension most commonly. Also, we were so naive back then! @linux_mclinuxface @Timdmackey @NoraReed Here’s another one: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/.app_(gTLD) What file extension does a normal MacOS application have? Yeah .app |
@Timdmackey @NoraReed Yeah, I would not use that, it would only be safe if the owner of the zip TLD has said so, but much safer to go by what IANA has said themselves
