The unfortunate reality is that some people will buy anything that expires, on the remote chance someone might be interested. If they’re set on doing that there’s nothing you can do, they will grab it and block it for at least one more year.

IMHO the best thing you can do is nothing. I mean nothing beyond discreetly checking the domain state in whois. Don’t inquire explicitly about the domain. Don’t use the WHOIS form on websites you don’t trust to exploit such queries into grabbing domains themselves.

You can use whois from the command line (best way). Alternatively, the TLD registry will have a WHOIS form on their official website.

If you don’t generate any apparent interest they will eventually let the domain lapse. Check back a year from now.

It will not though. Explicit sync is not a magic solution, it’s just another way of syncing GPU work. Unlike implicit sync it needs to be implemented by every part of the graphical stack. Just because Nvidia is implementing it will not solve issues with compositors not having it, and graphical libraries not having it, and apps not supporting it, and so on and so forth. It’s a step in the right direction but it won’t fix everything overnight like some people think.

Also it’s silly that this piece mentions Wayland and Nvidia because (1) Wayland doesn’t implement sync of any kind, they probably meant to say “the Wayland stack” and (2) Nvidia is not the only driver that needs to implement explicit sync.
