Trademarks should expire quicker I guess. That said, copyright in general is broken.

Last time it took the world teaming up to put a red flag over the legislature building of the place.

If it goes like last time, you should start stockpiling food, hiding your women and learning Cantonese.

It's good TV

The EU does not require age verification, only the UK does.

Not EU, UK. The EU, for now, does not require age verification. They are currently working on a system where your age can be verified using a secure token where Bsky would not get any more info than "this person is over 18", at which point, they will most likely mandate its use.

They have held more territory two years ago still. The current crawl to Kyiv will take years if not decades at this rate, and it really depends on whose economy will collapse first.

It fucks up non-proliferation.

Back in my kid days, SMS was too expensive to just text around. If you had a prepaid card, the provider would offer to send one asking for a callback if you ran out of balance. We would use these to communicate, like after school one callback SMS was "yeah I'm coming to hang out" two was "no time today, sorry".

The upside is that when 3rd party messengers and wifi became a thing, everyone ditched SMS, so the green bubble / blue bubble Apple insanity is a non-starter since nobody uses iMessage anyway. Also no peer pressure to buy iPhones from it.

We also used to send memes to each other by infra port, we would hide the phones in someone's desk next to each other, one meme transfer took a whole class.

I wish they could stop fucking around and start delivering.
