You are correct: the ruling simply affirms the plaintiff's claim against IA.

Any out-of-copyright and non-copyright items, as well as items with permissive terms (e.g., Creative Commons licenses) will still be available on IA. Previously, the plaintiff Hachette offered a deal that IA rejected, in which IA would be allowed to make digital copies of Hachette texts that are either out-of-print titles, or titles for which digital copies have never been produced.

Right now, it's up to Hachette and the other publishers affected in the case whether that offer is still available.

What an experience!

The F-22 impressed us. In this photo, it is flying over the lake, which when compared to objects in the foreground shows how big it is. In the second photo, it flew vertically upward, was suspended for a moment to light off two flares, and briefly dropped line a stone before pulling out again. Dramatic stuff. These redditors have a bit more context on the significance of it flying here.

We were inspired by your recent photos. We'll post more.

"We have new people whose life experiences have been radically different than ours. And so for those of us who have been here for decades or a long time, it gives us an insight into how people lived in other parts of the world, and now they're with us and we want to learn about them. So we are one united community."

This is such a positive take from someone in leadership re: new immigration to their community. It can be difficult to manage unexpected population growth and the federal/provincial governments offer poor support to growing communities across Canada. Mr. Morrison and his neighbours deserve lots of credit and respect for welcoming new neighbours who've been through a lot. They sound like good people.

ProtonMail is not open source or non-profit, but the product they offer is privacy. Switzerland also has strict privacy laws and resists state-based information requests. Best option is to run one's own email client server, but simple folks like me don't have the skills to do so. (FWIW, I use ProtonMail and think it works great.)

You are welcome at the https://lemmy.ca/c/art community. Currently, most submissions are people's artworks, but what you describe is also seems relevant to the community and I'd post content too if there's interest in it!

Just wanted to add that The Verge article quotes from the source document, but does not include its links, etc. Here's a hyperlinked version, including some specific open source resources, which the author calls 'third faction' content: https://www.semianalysis.com/p/google-we-have-no-moat-and-neither

I just reconnected with a friend yesterday afternoon. We ended up talking for two hours and are making plans to meet in a few weeks. The 'sorry-we-lost-touch' part was brushed aside. It felt just like good old times again.

Try sending a text. Maybe your friend misses you too.

Hello friend,

Most people see results after they establish and stick with a meditation routine. If you need help, Kurzgesagt has a helpful video on establishing habits and routines: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=75d_29QWELk

Here's a simple meditation technique to start, which requires no special equipment, reading/training, etc. All you need is to sit or stand in a comfortable position that does not make you feel sleepy. The technique is counting breaths and it is the first step for many different meditation traditions.

Your goal is to count your own breaths from 1-10 in your mind without losing track of your count. It's repetitive exercise like gym reps, but your goal is to NOT ZONE OUT. Your target is 10: breathe in and count '1' in your mind, breathe out and count '2'... breathe in again and count '3', breathe out and count '4'. If you lose track of your count, you just reset to '1' and start again.

At the beginning, you will lose track of your count a lot. Some people take a week or more to successfully complete the first set, much less multiple sets in a row. Our minds naturally wander. Sometimes you don't even realize you lost count until you think, "Wait, what breath am I on?" That is okay... that is the point! If you keep practicing this technique you will begin to train your mind to focus and not wander, which is a major step to conquering procrastination. Once you develop this simple form of mental self-control you will be able to demonstrate other forms of self-control.

Let me know if you want to chat more about it!
