Most people don’t know: There’s a multiplayer variant of Civilization 1: CivNet. Barely playable today, as it’s a Windows 3.1 game. I loved it till late in the 2000s.

Well how could it? Of course the DNS provider needs to know the domain you want to look up - otherwise how would they be able to look it up?

Oh wow, my reading competency is at max :-D Thanks.

I am really sorry that you have to live through this. I (middle-aged, white, cishet, more or less wealthy male) know that I’m super priviledged - yet reading posts like that show me that I will never be able to fully feel what you girls/women have to live through. I promise that I will fight against misogyny whereever I can.

And thank you for your post, there are really phrases that I wouldn’t have understood.

Lol

Oh, “good” to know it’s abandoned 😬
