I've been kinda wanting a Commodore 64 for a while

Didn't think I'd ever add "more secure" to the list of reasons to get one

:thaenkin: probably just as well mastodon isn't an actual physical space

What would we do about the new year kisses?

Would there be queues? Would people have to take tickets?

It'd be a scheduling nightmare

LT: New new year's resolution:

Get some news agency to refer to "the hacker known as mastodon"

(Preferably for something good)

@djsundog @vantablack Pretty sure everyone already is but the NSA isn't sharing

tired: images on the web
wired: teletext-style pictures drawn with unicode characters
inspired: everyone learning to uudecode base64 into images IN THEIR MINDS

Apparently the London Underground is suffering delays and suspended services due to... snow?

IT'S UNDERGROUND FOR FUCK'S SAKE, HOW CAN THE MINIMAL AMOUNT OF SNOW BE FUCKING IT UP?!

WE'RE EVIDENTLY REALLY BAD AT THIS WINTER THING

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

@revenant Is the Wu-tang-heist-with-Bill-Murray clause still in effect?

@jk ask them for examples and see if they give you their credit card info

@djsundog Yeah, we should have constantly replenishing teeth like sharks, that'd be awesome

@djsundog Ah, so your garage is the court of the crimson king, always wondered where that was

Huh... counter.social accepts connections from digital ocean droplets

Probably from all other cloud/vps providers as well

So.... all this blocking IP ranges to "prevent foreign government interference" can be bypassed for 5 bucks

10/10 thinking it through there chummer

New people to mastodon might not know that our very own @squirrel makes kick-ass chiptunes

Give The Space Adventures of General Mibi a listen, it's awesome

Welcome, new people, to MASTODON!

Here's your complimentary fursuit, copy of the Communist Manifesto, pineapple, bag of oats, pair of jorts, and the rest of the memes that have popped up and I've forgotten about

Around here emoji are emojos, tweets are toots (unless they're called something else), retweets are boosts (likewise), and twitter is birdsite

Please feel free to visit the petting zoo, we have robosquirbuns, catfoxes, dragons, kobolds, sharks, and all manner of other creatures to pet

If I'm ever in a Brewster's Millions situation I'm gonna hire all of you to shitpost full time

Turns out your average horse can actually output 14.9 horsepower

I feel lied to

@masklayer @djsundog Bring back cloaks, they're blankets with hoods
