Cast

gollark: That seems like not determinism as much as some bizarre philosophical thing about truth.
gollark: What?
gollark: <@!221827050892296192> The Wireless Telegraphy Act 2006 is from 2006.
gollark: I probably already have by using my RTL-SDR to look at pager messages. It turns out there are a lot of them here.
gollark: Weirdly, in the UK it's illegal to "[use] wireless telegraphy apparatus with intent to obtain information as to the contents, sender or addressee of a message (whether sent by means of wireless telegraphy or not) of which neither he nor a person on whose behalf he is acting is an intended recipient" because of the "Wireless Telegraphy Act", presumably even if someone is broadcasting stuff completely unencrypted.
