  • There isn’t any anti-verse, normal matter won for reasons still unknown, because the big bang should have created an equal amount of matter and antimatter. So plot armour is a good enough explanation for now.

    But since there was less antimatter, it was all annihilated.

    That still doesn’t answer OP’s question, though, you can go further - why did big bang create more matter? Why did big bang happen? And if you one day manage to answer that, you’ll have to ask why the thing that caused big bang happened?

    The question simply doesn’t have an answer.



  • I mean, smaller company is also a smaller impact and much faster decisions. If it happened to one of my small clients, it would be resolved within 20 minutes. If it would happen to my largest client, it would take hours if everyone in the decision chain suddenly turned competent and people with access to various stuff would all be available, which they probably wouldn’t, so realistically we’re talking days (assuming the DNS provider doesn’t restore it beforehand).


  • The DNS provider (who is not necessarily also a registrar, but it’s common that the registrar is also a provider) doesn’t have any option to disable individual pages. They can only disable a whole subdomain or domain.

    The server provider technically could, but it’s much harder because the site is served on https, so they would most likely have to disable the whole server as well.

    Not that the server provider was asked, it’s just to illustrate that no one but the service owner (itch.io) can meaningfully block a single page. Asking the infrastructure providers is a dick move.

    Edit: So the server provider was asked as well, but they’re not as incompetent it seems. Also, instead of a copyright abuse, BrandShield falsely sent this as a fraud and phishing, which is another dick move.

    So yeah, the DNS provider is incompetent, but BrandShield is the malicious actor here.








  • It’s not like you don’t need luck and I’m ignorant (arrogant?) enough to think all my life is of my own doing.

    To not reveal many personal details, let’s just say I’m from a very different background than you are and not much was handed to me. Not even a career path.

    I’ve been extremely lucky a few times and my hard working nature did the rest. Sure, without luck my hard work would be worthless. But without my hard work all the luck would amount to nothing.

    It all amounts to opportunities and for many people the opportunities are very few.
