@vantablack YOU HAD TO HIDE AWAY FOR SO LONG
(so long)
WHERE DID WE GO WRONG?

@brokenfingers 100% actually, it's the death of the author +70 years for UK copyright

The length of copyright expiry is fucking insane

I was thinking "oh hey, I should build a gopher site, I wonder what I should put in the misc. files section"

I thought, hey, episodes of the goon show would be nice

The Goon Show was broadcast between 1952 and 1960

You'd assume that they'd be out of copyright by now

No

They come out of copyright in 2083

ONE HUNDRED AND TWENTY THREE YEARS after the last episode aired

@masklayer best way to ship them, you get charged by weight and volume

@chosafine@instance.business She's like most pop music

Beige

Nobody really likes beige, but everyone can live with it

@ulfur Gr. Missing port 666

(which is Doom)

@jk most people actually believe the bollocks that "if you have nothing to hide you have nothing to fear" and will buy anything that gives them the least bit of convenience or is trendy

@jk @virus I'm wouldn't say that's a problem with drones as a thing though, that's a problem with what people happen to be using them for at the moment

@jk @virus eh, I'd think of them more as like cameras, can certainly be used for undesirable things, but also really useful for good things

@jk @virus They have their uses, sling a camera under them and they can be used for surveying damage from natural/man-made disasters without the cost of sending a plane up

If anyone here has young kids that want to send mail to Santa if you send it to the following address Canada Post will send a response back

SANTA CLAUS
NORTH POLE H0H 0H0
CANADA

The UK has a similar program if you send mail here:

Father Christmas
Santa's Grotto
Reindeerland
XM4 5HQ

I know the Canadian one will do international post, not sure about Royal Mail

@er1n Evidently the British Isles are the only ones who care about freedom

Do the others have references to "wombling free" in their national anthems?

I think not.

@kibi I'm pretty sure they just smushed a load of buzzwords together there

@tenthstar I dunno, doesn't seem like that bad a plan to me

@Gargron Unlikely, I don't understand what the hell you humans are on about half the time, beings from other planets have even less chance

@Vann@glitch.social I... The second amendment gives them money?

It's a bit of writing on some paper, how did it sign a sponsorship deal?

And who gave it the money?

@squirrel he's saying you're "rude and unnecessarily jerkish" for those messages and toots?

Wow, what a prick

@squirrel none of us expect you to be able to see all the things happening all the time, feel free to block anyone you want and we'll give you a heads up if any of us see anything untoward, this is meant to be a nice cosy place for you as well after all
