I've seen clips and a few trailers and it looks up my alley. Also fwiw I'm studying social and behavioral psychology, not ethics specifically. This is just one of the required classes and seemed the most interesting out of the classes I could choose from.

The entire time. Obligatory "what Hamas did on October 7th was horrendous," but if you look into the history of Israel's occupation of Palestinian land, it's pretty understandable (although not justified) why something like that happened. Israel has been the bad guy from its conception.

Israel has been particularly monstrous the past few months, but this is something it has been working towards for decades. Only recently has it felt willing and able to go this far without its allies pulling their support.

In case nobody has mentioned Asahi Linux yet, I'll bring it up. I haven't used it, but I have a friend who does.

Asahi Linux is a project and community with the goal of porting Linux to Apple Silicon Macs, starting with the 2020 M1 Mac Mini, MacBook Air, and MacBook Pro.

Our goal is not just to make Linux run on these machines but to polish it to the point where it can be used as a daily OS. Doing this requires a tremendous amount of work, as Apple Silicon is an entirely undocumented platform.

Asahi Linux is developed by a thriving community of free and open source software developers.

I believe they have a Fedora-based distro that should be solid for daily use, but again I haven't used this myself.

Btw fun fact I made this entirely in mspaint. Making the gradient was obnoxious since there's no actual gradient tool in mspaint (maybe the fancy new woke windows 11 version does but I'm on windows 10 where mspaint doesn't have "layers" or "text editing" or other fake nonsense). I made this meme in proper mspaint like god intended.

I had to look this up and Chidi is an obsessive(?) ethics professor from The Good Place. I should really get around to watching that show…

These are all from the book Ethics: Discovering Right and Wrong (Eighth Edition). It was written by Louis P. Pojman and James Fieser. Cengage is the company selling the textbook.

That final excerpt is from page 89 under the subheader "The Argument from Counterintuitive Consequences."

Anna's Archive has the pdf if you're interested in taking a look, but I don't think I can link to that directly.

The nuclear bomb and Hitlerite examples are from different pages. I was worried the phrasing would imply they were tied together, but the excerpt is elaborating on a different section of text right before it, which is different from the excerpt about Sally and the nuclear bomb. Sorry for any confusion there.

This was one of the discussion board questions we could choose from to answer this week:

5. Examine the Galactican superrational counterexample. Would superrational beings be justified in treating us as we treat animals, even eating us.

No clue, but I don't believe the plan is to keep it paywalled when it releases out of alpha/beta.

I feel the need to clarify based on the phrasing of your response. Oculus Ameliorated doesn't replace SteamVR. It replaces the Oculus runtime so you can use SteamVR without the extra overhead.

Statistically you use an Oculus headset. Someone is currently working on a minimal runtime called Oculus Ameliorated that doesn't have the shitty Dash performance overhead. It's currently in Patreon-only alpha. Here's her Discord.

As someone else mentioned, Steam is still proprietary, but at least getting rid of the resource heavy Meta runtime for their headsets is something to look forward to.

you ar(ul)e alone in this

in all seriousness, i dont mind. i think it was a rule on the subreddit that you had to have it in the title
