Well, the other thing is that except for the instant film, there’s no instant gratification in this hobby. Even when one processes at home, the typical time form a photo to a print is measured in hours.

Film photography is my hobby and I think that there isn’t anything that would prevent from exposing a displayed image on a piece of film, except for the cost.

Depending on film it might not be easy to tell exposing an image from a real picture.

The “hybrid” digital instax cameras work this way, it’s just a digital camera that has a way to internally expose the picture on the instant film.

It’s trivial to do analog prints from digital images too, just requires an inkjet printer and a special film to print out the “digital negative”.

The only way in which it may succeed as a deterrent is that it actually costs some money (film and processing is not cheap) and requires actual work to do those extra steps.

I fucking hate them for ruining the em dash, I liked to use it from time to time

A lot of it is, but let’s agree that using “prior” is just fucking pretentious

I think that 3D printing never picked up, because it’s one of those things that empower the people, i.e. to repair stuff or build their own things, so the number of opportunities to grift seems to be smaller (although I’m probably underestimating it).

Most of the recently hyped technologies had goals that were exact opposites of empowering the masses.

Well, they can’t fully outsource thinking to the autocomplete if they get asked whether some actions are okay.

NEW ZITRON DROPPED

That time when Zitron himself admits that the post is long 💀

The reader mode in Firefox shows completely different version of the article, weird. I never understood how that feature works, is there some node that contains the site supplied version of text for that mode?

And it’s shit

My decision to setup Jellyfin gets even more validation thanks to changes like this one.

Oh, I only knew of some of it, thanks

Any idea why the flag reassembles the Swiss one (the proportions are wrong though)?

Can we get this thread pinned? I guess that this thread will keep on giving 🍿

As someone living in Switzerland for over 6 years, the labor laws aren’t exactly like in the rest of Europe and people are sometimes a bit too much on the freedumb side of things. Also weird german or (possibly less weird, I don’t speak it) french and high cost of living.

Then again, it’s not anywhere as bad as what’s happening in the us

The lesswrong-tier post lengths aren’t helping to get all the way through them
