Among other serious problems, this would disenfranchise all military service members stationed or deployed outside their home state. The Democrats really should be making a big deal out of that.

The ".zip" TLD isn't itself a security risk, but it should never have been created in the first place due to the overlap with .zip files.

Understanding the context of why the .zip TLD is a bad idea, you should be questioning the general competence of a web admin that would intentionally purchase and operate a .zip website. There are plenty of other cheap TLDs available that do not overlap with common file extensions. It's such an obvious and avoidable problem that you have to wonder what other obvious problems they are failing to avoid.

Well shit, yeah, that "MUST be accepted and parsed" is pretty explicit. That sucks. What is even the point of revising standards? How the fuck do we ever get rid of some of these bad ideas?

These looks like covers for some AAA action game with a higher budget for marketing than programming.

Ah, so removing employees from this dumpster fire was a net positive for society.

#18 seems really bad, like no-one-has-ever-sanity-checked-this bad.

Yeah I feel like the correct answer for anything obsoleted by a more recent RFC should be "Invalid".

Nothing with realtime 3D graphics qualifies as "old".

I think the original Command & Conquer: Red Alert still holds up really well. It has a good storyline, quality artwork and the gameplay is still fun 30 years later.

Well yeah, like the article I linked says:

It has now been nearly eight years since the "experimental" tag was removed, but many of btrfs' age-old problems remain unaddressed and effectively unchanged. So, we'll repeat this once more: as a single-disk filesystem, btrfs has been stable and for the most part performant for years. But the deeper you get into the new features btrfs offers, the shakier the ground you walk on—that's what we're focusing on today.

So if you're just using it for your PC hard drive you're probably fine. The problem is that BTRFS is intended to provide similar features to RAID and ZFS, but that's where it starts failing.

Counterpoint: I've read that this is the primary reason that Spider-Man: Into the Spiderverse was produced - so that Sony could keep control over the Spider-man IP - and that was a fantastic movie.
