Been Alpha, and now Closed Beta testing an new MMO, Palia. (https://www.palia.com/). It's a "casual" MMO more around crafting and community building than the typical "Murder Hobo" dynamic. If it sounds interesting, check it out. If you do sign up, use my link (below) because I can get some cool in-game stuff if you do and you'll get an in-game fruit basket when it goes open Beta.

One more twitter transfer. I was intrigued by Husserl’s rather effusive praise of Buddhist thought in his review of the Pali Canon, "On the Teachings of Gotama Buddha," and wanted to know more about the backstory. Karl Schuhmann's chapter "Husserl and Indian Thought" in Phenomenology and Indian Philosophy has some details about this. According to Schuhmann, Karl Eugen Neumann's German translation of Sutta Pitaka was initially published around the turn of 20th cent. 1/ @philosophy#philosophy
The publisher was doing a reprint and might have asked Husserl for a review of the reprint for publicity purpose. This led to the publication of Husserl’s review in an advertisement journal of the publisher in the spring of 1925. Interestingly, in January 1926 Husserl wrote a manuscript, “Socrates-Buddha,” to study two forms of rationality, Greek and Indian. Rather disappointingly, but perhaps unsurprisingly for someone at the time 2/
Husserl found Buddhist thought (or Indian thought more generally) inferior to European philosophy because of the former’s supposed inability to produce “a universal science of being.” It is interesting that when philosophers have certain telos in their minds they would marshal all their conceptual prowess (or perform strenuous philosophical gymnastics) to make their particular philosophy the end of all philosophies. 3/
Eben spontan einen Termin im #Bienenmuseum#Weimar gemacht, um dort morgen nachzusehen, ob es irgendeine Art von Sammlungsdokumentation gibt.
Das würde zumindest dabei helfen, die von der Koordinationsstelle Koloniales Erbe in #Thüringen angefragte #Objektgeschichte zu einer der dortigen Figurenbeuten zu schreiben.
@BBCRD what is the current status of the baptools project?
"The Broadcast Audio Production Tools set currently includes an implmentation of a BBC peak programme meter (PPM), a loudness meter, and a audio time offset calculator."
Die Unis heften sich die Erfolge ihrer Mitarbeiterinnen bei der Einwerbung von renommierten Projektgeldern zwar gerne auf die Fahnen, doch sind sie nach Auslaufen eines Projekts nur selten bereit, die federführenden Wissenschafterinnen aus eigenem Budget weiter zu beschäftigen. Sobald die Drittmittel aufgebraucht sind, endet typischerweise auch der Dienstvertrag.
@Nicolaz I didn't see an #Introduction post so hi! Really glad to see you here! If you need any tips on using the fedi, I'd be happy to help or point you to links that can get you started easier.
@Nicolaz Hmm. Best 2/3 tips, follow hashtags and groups, not people. use directories like the Trunk, and finally, it's okay to lerk and not reply despite what others tell you! My full guide is here with some apps/user directories, etc. Link at end.
The hashtags I'd recommend are below. My guide has directories to follow.
hashtags are the best way to find new people in addition to the directories I outline in my guide, etc. Below, you can see some communities/groups I like and follow.
