Is there yet a movement where artists and creators make a testament that after their death all their work becomes public domain? Ie. an explicit middle ground between default copyright period and immediate PD at the time of publication?

I'd be interested in developing and advocating this kind of movement to widen the common public cultural legacy. But I guess some sort of legal expertise would be good to have. And if this is already a thing, then great, I'll join!

Opened an account on new instance. Found out that my Finnish translation of Mastodon confirmation email has a typo. Corrected it, should propagate on next version.

Guess how I read this book cover.

2988 words, and I'm done!

Submission lenght limit is 3000 words. I now have 3185 words, and this is pretty skimmed already. Argh.

Interesting...

I've been on Twatter for 5 years now, and I've tweeted 2,002 times.

I've been on Mastodon for a bit less than 1.5 years now, and I've tooted about 1,500 times (total from several instances).

Thus on average I seem to be about 2.5 times more active here than on Twatter.

And needless to say, the interactions here are of x times higher quality.

Oh dear, did I really deserve Mambo No. 5 playing in my head tonight?

Mikä on kapinallisin polkupyörämuistosi? Kerro se häsällä #velopunk!

Kaikkien Twitterissä ja Mastodonissa 2.9.2018 mennessä osallistuneiden kesken arvotaan 2 kpl Taru Luojolan romaania Ei kaikki pinnat kireällä.

How is it possible that the % character got adopted as the "negative hashtag" (which as a concept is also a bit unclear to me)? I mean, it's the PROcent character, not any kind of CON character.

Clearly the person first suggesting it wasn't a linguist.

Ahh, syksyn ensimmäinen omenantuoksu! 🍎 🍏 💚

A question for native English speakers!

If, for humorous effect, a pineapple is called 'ananas' in English fiction, would you find it OK and get the humorous intent, or would you just find it weird and a little off?
