We live in hell

They can have very basic compatability but for things like adjustment layers and smart objects nothing that isn’t Photoshop will work very well. They also lack raw processing. Every open source raw editor I’ve tried is barely usable as well (though there is other proprietary software which is comparable to Adobe on that front).

Even affinity wouldn’t be possible for me to use because everyone I need to give and receive files from would need Adobe files, and the possibility for something, even a little detail to not work because of a comparability issue would be a deal breaker and major pain in the ass.

Heavy user of Photoshop and indesign. Affinity photo and publisher are promising, but I need Adobe compatibility because this is hell world and I need to interface with the devil.

Unfortunately none of that comes close to what I need

I found this article interesting:

I’ve been meaning to read this too: https://www.versobooks.com/en-ca/products/735-the-eye-of-the-master

If you haven’t read it, and while it isn’t about AI, Cockshott, Cottrell, and Dapprichs newish book titled Economic Planning in an Age of Climate Crisis, is all about cybernetic planning. It’s pretty short. It’s on libgen, don’t give Cockfuck money.

What’s the chance it bends in half like one of the older models?

I literally did today, and then I decided to look at the internet. Big mistake.

Bad bot, you should ban me for posting a link to

Posting here because it doesn’t qualify for the dunk tank:

I don’t have the kind of critical theory answer you’re looking for, but an example of praxis was the Maidan / Revolution of Dignity. I recommend any of Marci Shore’s lectures about it (I’m a bit biased - I took her intellectual history class in undergrad). I think the question that comes to mind from that example is: when kids start getting shot by cops, will their parents try to get them to leave the protest to stay safe - or will the parents come out and join them?

We should at the very minimum ban links with trackers. I see them too much here.

There is also a tagline which links to a Google doc, which is not a good idea.

Smh first they come for the corrupt property developers
