If this doesn’t help physical book sales, nothing will.

Because look who’s running it, that’s why. If Musk isn’t a full-blown Nazi, he’s at minimum a Nazi sympathizer, which is still really bad.

Canon’s recent paywalling behavior if other companies start copying them, would be a good argument for picking up film again if you don’t care about video capabilities and only need stills - due to film’s analog nature, it and the gear that uses it, is immune to paywalls/DRM, and you actually own hard copies of your shots to digitize at will to boot.

Also, don’t expect Kodachrome to ever be rebooted as its process, which was proprietary and thus died with that stock, was too complex to try and bring back in the present day (although some people have tried to reverse-engineer it to varying success before).

To add to this, the same advantages of being immune to paywalls/DRM and actually owning hard copies of your work that you can digitize at will also applies to, say, drawing using real materials vs. using a digital program - your paper and pencils/crayons/what-have-you will never be affected by paywalls/DRM as they’re analog in a sense as well, and you have a hard copy you can digitize at will.

Puppy would fly on there, or even DSL 2024. Heck, both those distros would fly even on a Pentium 4 of all things.

I set this up hopefully to try to switch over from Reddit, which I just now logged out of, Bluesky and to a lesser degree Mastodon has effectively replaced Twitter and might do the same for Facebook, and Pixelfed is looking really good so far as an IG replacement.
