After 6 months, I've had to resubscribe to Adobe PS. I work with too many people who send me PS files and there is no alternative that can open and save them reliability. It sad how many "helper" apps Adobe installs and how often they try to connect to the internet. I block them all, but it's scary. I have to unblock them every 30 days. Please do not suggest alternatives unless you know for a fact they load and save .psd files seamlessly. Do not suggest GIMP or I block you.

any hardware device that requires a mobile app to work should be forced by law to release open source drivers for device in case app stops working. There's going to be a lot of gadgets that will be dead within a few years. I feel that's more important than "everything usb-c"

i just read that apparently berlin is getting its very own and first philosophy festival, where you can see panel discussion of big philosophers like peter sloterdijk and axel honneth...

the festivals theme is "freedom"

very interesting indeed, but unfortunately with a rather weird (and not wise) pricing model... 🤔

Die Leser*innen von "TK-Report" (ein Tiefkühl-Fachmagazin) haben "Die Ofenfrische Kebab Style Vegan" zum "Tiefkühl Hit 2024 "Plant-Based" gekürt! Jetzt hab ich als Witzbildmaler wirklich alles erreicht.

Die "Kebab Style Vegan" war von Anfang an konzipiert als limitierte Edition, es wird sie nur noch bis Ende des Sommers im Handel geben. Greift also zu, wenn ihr sie seht!

Ihr würdet die Pizza gerne kaufen, aber findet sie nicht? Der Dr. Oetker -Verbraucherservice hilft: service@oetker.de

some discussions made me think...
is animal ethics really something where philosophy can progress?

like all the "newer" arguments, feel more or less similar to the "old" ones.

the only real way I see is to interdisciplinary combine it. Like "Zoopolis" did with political theory.

do you disagree with me?

Do they really not see the problem with this statement??? The fact that they try to sell this behavior as 'normal' is very symptomatic of this whole industry ...

Am I the only one who unequivocally thinks that philosophy has made progress? Perhaps I have a different definition of what progress means, but surely I can't be the only one?

The number of theories and arguments that philosophers uncovered, as well as the clarity and breadth of their analyses, is certainly progress.

@ninokadic @philosophy @academicchatter if philosophy wouldnt make any progress it would be pretty useless by now..

@ninokadic @victorgijsbers
well especially in animal ethics we made major improvements (even if our treatment of animals is globally the worst as ever before).

from ancient times, over Descartes to Singer. Our understanding of animals lives and rights has basically improved to a point where all animal rights philosophers ask themselves in total wonder why we still threaten them so awfully ....

just ask @SteveCooke

Thomas Metzinger's entire book on consciousness is open-access! 📚

“In The Elephant and the Blind, influential philosopher Thomas Metzinger, one of the world's leading researchers on consciousness, brings together more than 500 experiential reports to offer the world's first comprehensive account of states of pure consciousness.”

I saw a couple short sections of some Vision Pro videos but this one is the most interesting one, using it outdoors for commute, trains etc. because I feel, eventually in the future a lot more people will be using these types of AR gadgets in day to day https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UvkgmyfMPks

@djlink the next step of drawing people deeper and deeper into the dependency of useless virtual apps. it is actually super scary if you think about it.
