🚗✹ Klassiker mit Stil!
Hier steht er – ein originaler Opel Ascona B aus den goldenen 70ern. Chrom, klare Kanten und echter Charakter – sowas gibt’s heute nur noch selten! đŸ–€

Mit H-Kennzeichen und gepflegtem Zustand ist dieser Ascona nicht nur ein Auto, sondern ein StĂŒck Automobilgeschichte. Wer erinnert sich noch an die Zeiten, als echtes FahrgefĂŒhl noch durch die HĂ€nde ging – ohne Assistenzsysteme und Touchscreens?

Das Bild zeigt ein klassisches, weiße Opel Ascona aus den 1980er Jahren, das in einem modernen, hellen Innenraum mit großen Fenstern und einem glĂ€nzenden Fliesenboden ausgestellt ist. Das Fahrzeug hat einen markanten KĂŒhlergrill mit dem Opel-Logo und zwei runde Scheinwerfer. Die Scheiben sind dunkel, und die Innenbeleuchtung des Fahrzeugs ist nicht sichtbar. Die Fahrzeugnummer lautet "8IR I 75H". Durch die Fenster im Hintergrund sind weitere Fahrzeuge und GebĂ€ude im Freien zu sehen. Die AtmosphĂ€re des Raumes ist sauber und gut beleuchtet, was die PrĂ€sentation des Autos betont.

A lucky puffin with a beakful of fish on Great Saltee Island off County Wexford. The island, one of Ireland’s major bird sanctuaries, is home to puffins, gannets, guillemots, razorbills, cormorants, great black-backed gulls, kittiwakes and manx shearwaters.

The 40th anniversary of Back to the Future was this week and some of the cast & crew discuss why it couldn’t be rebooted today.

Lea Thompson, doesn’t think 1995 and 2025 look that much different besides smartphones. A co-writer thinks a high schooler and a middle aged scientist being friends would be too weird.

But the real reason is, that the young people would believe that this is stealing some ideas from Rick and Morty.


Guten Morgen,

ruhig, kĂŒhl und trĂ€ge.

Ups, gerade ist ein Storch in Kopfhöhe vorbei geflogen....

Mit der Katze einen Kontrollgang absolviert,
Kaffee im Glas.

Ich genieße es.

Das Video zeigt eine detaillierte Ansicht einer dampfenden Tasse Kaffee, die aus einem glĂ€nzenden, silbernen Metallbecher besteht. Der Becher steht auf einem dunklen Holztisch, und um ihn herum sind Kaffeebohnen verstreut. Dampf steigt aus der Tasse auf, was darauf hinweist, dass der Kaffee sehr heiß ist. Im Hintergrund ist ein Teil eines BehĂ€lters mit Kaffeebohnen zu sehen, der umgekippt ist und weitere Bochsen auf den Tisch fallen lĂ€sst. Die Szene vermittelt eine warme und einladende AtmosphĂ€re, die typisch fĂŒr eine Kaffeezubereitung ist.

Upgraded my #framework13 laptop to 64gig of memory in under 5 minutes while sitting on the sofa.

Seriously don't think I can go back to a non-self repairable laptops now. If I didn't have the Pixel 9 pro, I think the #Fairphone would be next.




One of the four lynx that were illegally released into the Cairngorms National Park, Scotland, in January and rescued by the Royal Zoological Society of Scotland. The three lynx that survived the ordeal have settled in to their new homes at the nearby Highland Wildlife Park, where this picture was taken. They have been named Caledonia, Cardrona and Bluebell.

Dolphin Emulator - Ten Years of Dolphin
So, I've found this really neat video showcasing the entire history of Dolphin, one of the absolute best Gamecube and Wii emulators we have. It's honestly surprising to see how it was almost as old as the Gamecube, and that it even grew up alongside it, then the Wii, to the point where it could even work with the official Wii and DS online (until Nintendo did a hella smooth-brained move and shut down the Wii and DS online in general in 2014 (I'm still mad about it)). Plus, it's just neat to see how far it has come since ~2003. ​:blobcat_heart:​

First, they liken AI training to open-source:

“CC is dedicated to facilitating greater openness for the common good. CC thus supports, in principle, broad access and use of copyright works, including openly licensed content, to train AI in the public interest
to ensure sharing ultimately benefits the public.”

The inherent problem with this is that AI training does not benefit the public. Trained AI is a commercial product. It only serves stakeholders and wealthy tech bros.

Second, they liken AI bots to researchers and academics.

“At CC, we believe that, as a matter of copyright law, the use of works to train AI should be considered non-infringing by default
for example, text-and-data mining in the context of research or education should be allowed under an exception to copyright.”

Researchers and academics cite their sources. AI products do not cite anyone or anything at all. They return a paid product after harvesting what they required to do so.

thanks for running this poll, Mark.

Striking that it got 8x the response here than on X.

Seems to me that the responses in each place are somewhat self-selecting. People still on X are likely to be more credulous.

Thing is, even if CC’s position were sensible in a narrow boundary sense (and I agree with you on that score), it’s obtusely ignoring the wider picture mastodon.social/@urlyman/11458

Re 3 (&1,2). The CC team are naĂŻve. I think the David Wiley affect is in play here, he believes that genAI is the future of OER, which is ridiculous, insulting to all the people who create OER, and naĂŻve. CC have become meaningless overnight due to AI bot crawlers. that trawl on gigantic scale and completely ignores *all* licensing. The only way this can be solved is in the courts - not only USA courts either! See LAION case in Germany. There are grey areas, but CC are just childish.
in reply to Mark Wyner Won’t Comply

the poll has 155 votes, and it's on twitter so that's probably 100 far right botfarm votes and 55 nazis lol

really, just them actually doing that on twitter and taking the results seriously is another reason for me to become very wary of them.

*edit: hold up, that whole twitter poll is from 2021!! 😅 (still, 100 votes are probably going to be from right wing bots lol, but it does place the results in a different perspective)

I posted on he CC Signals initiative a few days ago. Sadly I didnt see your posts. Re 1 - this is the assertion of folks like Stephen Downes - a big player in OpenEd. Theoretically he sees a democratisation of connected knowledge (ie Connectivism). But, he is wrong on multiple levels (imo). Money/profit is the biggest of these problems, closely followed by all the errors of genAI.
in reply to Dr Pen

@DrPen we crossed in the night. 😂 I just saw your post and hadn’t seen any recent news about CC. But I def think they should reflect on their stance.

As you allude to, the main issue is how AI profits from CC work with no citations. That’s one of the quotes I pulled from the linked article in my follow-up.

in reply to Mark Wyner Won’t Comply

Yes we did! Also, sry about typos but Im angry, can you tell?! I think we all need to follow these developments very closely. I didnt even know about the CC Twtr poll and Im in the OpenEd google email group! Why on Twtr? Ridiculous.

Academics are massively impacted by AI deals with article publishers. This is a powerful area for potential pushback as so much academic work uses CC licences. I think this is where the pressure is coming from for CC to acquiesce about the AI training.

in reply to Mark Wyner Won’t Comply

Re 2 - the problem here is that people who run CC are totally unfit to make judgements off the top o their head, driven by their feels about IPR and copyright. They need to shut up, basically. They can have opinions, but not that are the 'legal' position of CC licenses. Thats the worst enshittification of T&Cs.
