I'm running out of pictures to post as I'm still waiting on two rolls from my NYC trip to be processed at the lab... 😔

@Thomas I very much enjoyed it. Had very little free time though. No celebs or rats.

@aka_quant_noir @judeswae The author means the collapse of the AI bubble. It's tongue-in-cheek. Worth just reading.

Hey friends,

I've been working on an insane amount of film development this past couple of weeks; thus, I couldn't be very active here. Also a bit tired of social media.

However, there are some news (ish) that I feel obligated to share:

Fujifilm Superia X-Tra, an ISO 400 colour 135 film has been discontinued.

https://www.analog.cafe/comments/2xgo

In the post (above) I explain why it's unexpected this time and what I hoped to hear from the company instead.

@analog_cafe I haven’t had the chance to try this film yet 🥲

@analog_cafe They're always sold out when I look. I haven't tried any slide film yet!

@analog_cafe I'm long back in Europe, but thanks for the tip. I'll grab some Ektachrome next.

Post from @rabble on why he's chosen to use and not and the . He makes some compelling points. Personally I am not too worried about the server admin parts of his argument (I have enough control, even if I don't control the server), but I agree that this isn't ideal:

"You can’t use a single fediverse identity with your profile and followers in Peertube, Mobilizon, WriteFreely, and Pixelfed. You need a totally separate account in each one."

@ricmac @rabble Pixelfed and Mastodon are not isolated from each other. I have Pixelfed users in my home feed on Mastodon. That's a very weird definition of isolated. Mastodon has search too. Phanpy has a catch-up algorithm. I don't find the arguments in the post compelling.

Today was a huge milestone in our quest to federate #Flipboard and tear down the walls around our own walled garden.

First, we launched a new version of Flipboard for iOS and Android which brings the promise of two way federation to life. Now when a federated Flipboard user curates, people in the fediverse can reply, favorite, boost or follow those Flipboard users who will in turn see that activity in their usual notifications tab. Even better, Flipboard users can directly reply to people in the fediverse -- and very soon they will also be able to follow each other.

Second, we federated some of our best curators today who are actively curating more than 10,000 magazines about everything from climate change to kale smoothie recipes. I'm grateful to our many curators and the service they provide to so many others who want to find the best content about a shared interest. I know our curators are excited to have millions more people who could potentially benefit from their curation. I also know that people in the fediverse will give a warm welcome to these curators. Especially now that everyone can hear and talk to each other over what was once two totally separate networks but now increasingly are in one and the same #fediverse.

@ninavizz I have not, I have not seen any place that offers optical color prints. The darkrooms I've seen only have equipment for black and white prints, everything else goes through a digital process.

@shinjiikarus It’s a bit of a financial investment as I don’t have either.
