@ZachWeinersmith if social media platforms are no longer innocent of things published on their platforms (as in if those laws get dropped), that would encourage them to shut down and in their place, smaller things like individual/family Mastodon instances might become more and more common. And if all of that were to occur, users would basically demand interoperability, I think.
@LouisIngenthron Yep! Both classics (Kodak, Fujifilm) and hipster/artsy brands (Ilford, Lomography).
I personally don't get it.
I shoot film on cameras that could arguably take a better photo than any smartphone because of the size of things allowing for tighter depth of field and better lighting. That's part of why I like it; there's some art of the manual control. Similar to the appeal of a DSLR or mirrorless camera but with the added fun of film (and I develop it myself too).
But point-and-shoot cameras from 25 years ago and disposables (which are basically the same thing) don't make sense to me outside of things like wedding reception gimmicks. Smartphones 15 years ago, in the early days of Instagram, could do better. And I doubt the people using them are doing the development themselves either.
@LouisIngenthron a lot of IRL acquaintances I have would say "in the last decade" because of wedding receptions that had disposable cameras at each table
@mike My wife recently discovered this and bought a metric truckload of Pur gum. It's definitely not as good as other gum (namely in how long the gum's flavour and chewiness seem to last) but it's… fine I guess. If it has dental benefits then I'm all for it.
@levisan We do! The Phonetic Alphabet is used by radio communicators like pilots for that very reason!
It's also pretty easy to learn, and anyone tends to understand it even if they don't know it themselves!

№ 3:
Same as № 2, but God is the creator of whatever created the simulation. Some Christian doctrines are be inaccurate or outright false, but there is one omnipotent creator God.
Do you continue to practice the Faith, allowing for changes to doctrine or not?
№ 2:
It is revealed—again, surely without a doubt—that God and the afterlife ARE real, but they are part of the simulation.
Do you continue to practice the Faith, even though nothing really matters?
№ 1:
It is revealed—again, surely without a doubt—that God and the afterlife ARE NOT real. What caused you to believe in God is just programming. Do you continue to practice the Faith, even though nothing really matters?

@airsick haha true true… I just like getting the thoughts out of my head!
If you think I'm weird in cyberspace you should find me in meatspace.
