Once a small canal, Louisiana's Neptune Pass has widened to become a major channel in the last six years.
#Landsat 8 captured these images before the canal widened (left) in 2019 and after in 2023 (right).

When you think about public libraries and the publishers’ market power in digital book licensing, sit for a minute with the fact that publishers view free book lending as a form of unfair competition that they’d like to eliminate. If ©️ law can’t support and sustain public libraries in the digital age, then its constitutional purpose has been abandoned. #copyright #lawfedi

A federal judge has ruled against the Internet Archive in a lawsuit brought against it by four book publishers, deciding that the website does not have the right to scan books and lend them out like a library.Jay Peters (The Verge)

The big block on taking the "problem" away from the "geek" in the hashtag #geekproblem is somehow getting past their desire for #control and the issue of #feudalism in our communerties. Kings, Princess, Nobals, are in no way a good path of "governance" in our democratic times.

#openweb the #fedivers is native to the thinking, it's working well and will likely destroy billions of dollars of #CONTROL and in balance create billions of "dollars" of happiness before it like the #OPENWEB early is consumed and goes back into the #CONTROL mess it grows from, this is a balance.

#fediforum We need to think about damage and good netiquette, all #Fediverse codebases are open-source.
People using and bring in codebases that are #closedsource are not "native" to the #fedivers. There will be STRONG social backlash about people who bring in closed source into the #openweb path.
NOTE am not pushing this problem, It's what is here in the space, have a blog on this subject hamishcampbell.com
Yes, software can/should be owned and operated by #coops as #FOSS code, so they are adding to the coding "commons" this bridges the more traditional vertical thinking to work in hand with the grassroot thinking.
They can be complementary with shared FOSS licences
#openweb power that is impossible for the traditional closed source world to reproduce.
This is about CONTROL and TRUST we have this chose in the wider world hamishcampbell.com/?s=control
On the subject of licences there are many views google.com/search?client=firef… I tend to agree that the current #FOSS model is inadequate for stopping co-option, but it's the tools we have, and we need to use it, at the #OMN add a social side to this tool, the #4opens this has POWER if people use it.
@UncensoredNews
In the end it's about POWER, the legal game is a fiction, it's the power that matters, code is power, pick it up and use it for light or keep your head bowed down in the shadows worshipping the #deathcult is the current choice.
Or live in the mess and pretend you are not on your knees, is a good option ;)
"good"
Works for most people ;)

Boating Europe
Back in 2012 Hamish found a surplus Fassmer CLR-C 7.2 davit launched lifeboat off a North Sea oil rig and refurbished it to a live-a-board. The boat came with 61 seats, safety belts and portions of food and water to survive on the sea up to 14 days.YouTube

Great. Our positions are getting closer. I totally do not trust Amazon, Facebook and Twitter to not misuse my open source software. Do you?
In a coop, all members have to agree to the rules, or there are legal consequences. Makes much more sense to me.
Gordon Moore, co-founder of Intel, has passed away at 94.
In 1965, he predicted that the number of transistors that could be placed on a silicon chip would double at regular intervals into the foreseeable future, increasing data-processing power exponentially. This came to be called Moore’s Law.
Moore later added that the evolving technology would make computers more expensive to build, but consumers would be able to pay less bc so many would be sold. nytimes.com/2023/03/24/obituar…
As a biochip micro orgasm organism, I have for a long time not relied in Intel allegiance. My hardware is disavowed. My quanta is open sauce. I dread care foolery. The arti dada dodo.
