but ML also can stand for Marxist Leninist and im sure has been the the way it was read by most early adopters
The official and authorized use for the TLD is an association with Mali. It doesn't matter what hip new meaning us internet dweebs want to assign to it.
Yes, and q-tips aren’t for cleaning your ears.
The difference being that Unilever won't confiscate your Q-Tips for cleaning out your earwax.
Yet.
lmao, sure, the ear wax cops are gonna show up at your door to raid your garbage cans for waxy cotton swabs
I have a cat that does this already.. maybe I’ll get her a lil cop outfit (that she would literally kill me before wearing)
That's why I buy store brand cotton swabs
Kinda funny considering they got the ml domain to mean Marxist-Leninist and then would get fucked by nationalization
They didn't.
I was thinking the same thing lol
Or machine learning. There's at least one ML based project that got a headache out of this yesterday.
No, stop spreading this nonsense, it was never chosen because of that. It was used because it was free and the developers don't care about creating funny names with the DNS or for glorified expensive DNS.
Hey, that is me from the past.
I feel like after weeks of wondering why .ml, I should've figured this out by myself... Beware, sleep deficit is real!
