it is here

Are you absolutely certain? I've seen people claim that before and be wrong, because they were again confusing copyright infringement with plagiarism. It could be a translation issue where the law against copyright infringement is sometimes translated as "plagiarism" despite not really fitting the English-language understanding of the difference between the two.

I couldn't find Niuean references to verify it in your case, but my comment was accurate under Australian, UK, Canadian, New Zealand, US, and EU law. It's possible some individual EU countries may differ, but not at the EU level, and certainly not in Slovakia, Germany, or France. So I am confident in using my comment as the general "default" assumption for discussions in English on international forums.

I thought Mylio was self-hosted, or at least had the option of it?

Very funny that "Nextcloud Memories" isn't in the "Memories" circle. Not sure how Nextcloud Memories compares to Nextcloud Photos, or why the former is chosen for this chart rather than the latter. Both seems nearly identical on this comparison of FOSS image libraries.

Since this is not just about FOSS, I would rather like to see where Synology Photos sits.

from a legal perspective it's 100% plagiarism.

Plagiarism is not a legal concept. Copyright infringement and plagiarism are two circles of a Venn diagram with substantial overlap, but very noteworthy non-overlapping sections too.

Non-AI examples, to avoid any controversy, include that you can plagiarise by taking something from the public domain (e.g. the writing of Shakespeare or the music of Beethoven) and try to pass it off as your own. This would not be copyright infringement because the works belong to the public domain and are thus out of copyright, but it is still plagiarism, because plagiarism is a matter of academic integrity, not law. And you can do copyright infringement without plagiarising. That's what happens every time someone uploads a full movie to YouTube and says "no copyright intended".

Yeah I'm all for pointing out how ludicrous it was to give Obama a Peace prize. But it's ludicrous to somehow pretend the guy currently actively inflaming genocide, aiding a foreign country firing missiles completely unprovoked at another foreign country, and sending residents to concentration camps without even the pretense of due process is somehow more deserving.

[–] Zagorath@aussie.zone 5 points 6 hours ago

Yeah seriously. It's pretty severely missed the point of this thread.

Ironic that it looks like someone came through and downvotes every answer in this thread other than this one, considering. It'd be pretty great if the mods banned whoever that was.

[–] Zagorath@aussie.zone 2 points 6 hours ago

Oh damn. I came here to answer this too, but was definitely not expecting someone else already to have said it.

I do HEMA, which has a healthy overlap with the SCA, but from what I've heard, the SCA has a pretty rigid structure and hierarchy with ranks and titles. I've heard about people winning bouts in SCA fencing against someone who is supposedly ranked higher than them, and getting shunned because of it. That's not healthy.

[–] Zagorath@aussie.zone 2 points 6 hours ago (1 children)

Huh? How? There's no leadership structure to it to provide that cultish vibe, it's mostly just individuals are small groups of friends doing their thing together.

[–] Zagorath@aussie.zone 1 points 6 hours ago

Wait are you me?

[–] Zagorath@aussie.zone 2 points 6 hours ago

Yeah my Garmin can do this on my Android.

I usually stare at their mouth if I'm talking to someone. How else do you concentrate on what they're saying? Their eyes aren't the part that talks.

[–] Zagorath@aussie.zone 1 points 10 hours ago

You not a fan of that news?

You lost me here, sorry. I don’t speak musik neither in english or french

Ah, sorry. These two examples on MuseScore should be possible to play back so you can hear the difference.

This one is how the sheet music on French Wikipedia displays it.

And this one is more familiar to me.

Butter is beaten

I don't know much about the making of cheese, butter, or cream. But the word that comes to my mind for butter is "churned". The tool used is a "butter churn", en francais, une baratte. But the French Wikipedia page for this talks about "le barattage", so I think it's a separate step from battrement? (battage? battement? idk)

idk, I don't know enough about milk products to have this conversation in English, let alone French.

 

TranscriptionThe "Aye, I could do that" meme. The first picture is of Gimli, saying

Never thought I'd die fighting side by side with an Elf

The second superimposes a picture of a fish made from lego over a picture of Legolas, captioned:

What about side by side with a toy plastic fish?

The third returns to Gimli, saying

Aye, Lego-Bass, I could do that.

 

CHAPTER VI

Dr. Seward's Diary.

8 July.---There is a method in his madness, and the rudimentary idea in my mind is growing. It will be a whole idea soon, and then, oh, unconscious cerebration! you will have to give the wall to your conscious brother. I kept away from my friend for a few days, so that I might notice if there were any change. Things remain as they were except that he has parted with some of his pets and got a new one. He has managed to get a sparrow, and has already partially tamed it. His means of taming is simple, for already the spiders have diminished. Those that do remain, however, are well fed, for he still brings in the flies by tempting them with his food.

TranscriptionTwo Reddit comments, the second a reply to the first.

Copper is so recyclable that stuff that was mined pre BC is being used today.

So what you're telling me is that when the copper head in my old 78 Volvo cracked when it blew the head gasket it was actually Ea-nāṣir's fault again? That son of a bitch.

Then a picture of a man pleading, with the caption

He can't keep getting away with it!

 

Found basically in the middle of bushland in suburban Brisbane. To get here requires walking through overrun dirt paths that pretty clearly haven't been visited in a long while.
