Honestly I think everything should move to 20.
Alcohol purchase, consumption. Military conscription, draft, voluntary service Age of majority, marriageable age Voting with automatic voting registration Drug consumption including nicotine, caffeine, and cabinets Driving ( permits at a prior age with supervision )
We know people’s brains aren’t really formed enough even at 18 to consider people adults, this younger age is a hold over from even younger ages and doesn’t reflect reality.
People who are not fully developed shouldn’t be able to make decisions with the full weight of adulthood, to take any other position is barbaric.

Nintendo doesn’t have a legal right to go after NES clones in the States because the patent on the NES expired and anyone is legally allowed to make perfect duplicates of NES hardware.
The only legal ground Nintendo has is software copyright for games they published and / or licensed ( probably just published )
Broken arms
At Midnight! OMG super in joke on our really niche, non pop culture website.
In English the ‘base’ of the word is ‘operate’. Co, an affix ( prefix ) modifies operate and means something like ‘operate together’, and can even be written as co-operative ( noun ) or co-operate ( verb, but antiquated in my opinion ) .
So it’s usually written without the dash, but when it’s shorted to ‘coop’ I think it’s best to use the dash as it removes ambiguity.
Depends on the size of the flock in the coop
Eventually decentralized services with anonymity will be killed by the EU, they already want to stop all text encryption, the way anyone can stand up a server and run it however it’s already in conflict with the GDPR.
It is planned obsolescence
Unironically yes, you would not know who Spiderman was without viewing a copyrighted work demonstrating what he looks like, and now you understand while generative AI fundamentally has to ingest copyrighted works.
Not true in the US, but commonly stated by Americans like it’s fact.
European Union regulation will probably threaten the very principles that the Fediverse functions on, potentially making Lemmy illegal anywhere in the EU because it’s not auditable enough, or doesn’t meet data retention or some kind of consumer privacy law.
The EU is a threat to the Fediverse unfortunately.
From Western media in English. You’re in a cultural and linguistic bubble online where people who think like you ( or within an expected range of dissenting opinions ) post and respond.
The ideas and values you see and even have fall into a range that believe it or not is different in other communities, often segregated by language.
It’s hard to explain if you’re a monolinguist, but the language you speak includes ideas and cultural nuance for idea that doesn’t often cross the language and cultural boundaries.
I’m upset that they’ve made this decision to be honest. It means the physical release is incomplete and this is bad for have preservation, so I have the opposite feelings.
Honestly if you’re living in a Western country, you are a victim of major anti North Korean propaganda that goes all the way back to the Korean War.
Like, North Korea is nowhere near as bad as people think, and it’s people are fairly happy, yes the government censors and controls media, but it also creates a unified and strong society with far less division than all these Western countries tearing themselves down the middle about which party is less evil.
Sega / Atlus indicated they would not do a full retail release of the game and extra content, breaking with decades long tradition.
I used it a decade ago and it was my favorite distro
It’s no longer true as of about two years ago no, but the measurement was always a bit skewed for Western audiences and glosses over increases in specific types of crimes ( categorically ) such as homicide bombings and domestic terrorism.
