• Museums with CC0 Collections

  Also see https://wordpress.org/openverse/ it allows you to filter to only public domain images. - Source: Hacker News / over 1 year ago

• Google Broke Image Search for Creative Commons and Hardly Anyone Noticed

  Thanks for the HN treatment. As a followup piece, a Google response of this being "a bug". Followup story, my return rate for CC licensed images of "dog" went from 3 to 13. More than that, license info is not displayed (only linked), is frequently wrong, and photo credits often given to the site, not the creator of the image. https://cogdogblog.com/2022/10/google-cc-image-search-better-sad/ Try Openverse for much... - Source: Hacker News / over 1 year ago

• Google Broke Image Search for Creative Commons and Hardly Anyone Noticed

  Last time I've checked, Creative Commons had their own search for things under their licenses. But now apparently that project got transferred to WordPress and is now named Openverse: https://wordpress.org/openverse/?referrer=creativecommons.org Anyways, I'd argue that's the most comprehensive database of CC-licensed works. - Source: Hacker News / over 1 year ago

• Best Practices for Attribution

  > In addition, a searchable database of Creative Commons works would be a welcome addition to the Internet. Openverse is a CC search engine with 600 million items: https://wordpress.org/openverse/ And of course, Google Images supports CC search for images. - Source: Hacker News / almost 2 years ago

• TIL: You can open man or info pages in Firefox by man:<page> or info:<page>

  Addendum from https://mastodon.social/@mofosyne/112385581085525369 Turns out that it's because KHelpCenter in some linux distros hooks to these uris. So typing this uri would autoopen these man entries in KHelpCenter. - Source: Hacker News / 1 day ago

• Systemd Rolling Out "run0" As sudo Alternative

  Good news! Run0 will use polkit[1], which uses JavaScript for its rules[2], so there's no limit on how complex your rules can get! On the other hand, maybe adding a JavaScript interpreter to Linux's trusted computing base isn't such good news...

• TfL's simple pop-up message led to a significant drop in paper ticket sales

  Apparently there are some stations which still have ticket gates, but I haven't seen any in the rather short time I've been in the Netherlands - they seem to be concentrated in metropolitan areas[1], and I've only been in the somewhat more rural[2] province of Limburg. As it happens, though, I have never actually used the OV-chipcard myself, as I always use an Interrail pass when travelling any further than... - Source: Hacker News / 8 days ago

• Systemd Wants to Expand to Include a Sudo Replacement

  Uh, depending on exactly how it's implemented, it could break a lot of things. If all you are using sudo on is a personal (i.e. Single user) laptop/desktop to install packages, this (along with other things like pkexec or doas) would seem to present no issues (and personally, from what I can see, I'd be happy to run `run0` on my personal systems!), but sudo does significantly more than that,... - Source: Hacker News / 6 days ago

• Ask HN: What do you think about a subscription based social media?

  Oh, TIL about https://mastodon.social/ (https://joinmastodon.org/) Looks like what you describe, doesn't it? > Social networking that's not for sale. - Source: Hacker News / 9 days ago
