@Gargron My personal experience is that the "cheap" consumer film stocks (Colorplus, Gold, Max, X-TRA, Superia, etc.) look really lovely exposed a stop over, and a lot less so a stop under.

And given how many of these films were loaded into cheap/disposable lenses with slow lenses, it's little wonder that they've developed a reputation for being muddy and low-quality.

They just need a chance and a bit more light to shine!

@eff @Gizmodo It is such a pain to go back to PIN-based unlocks-- but as noted, it's the only line of defense right now against surveillance and law enforcement overreach.

It's always a shame when we have to deliberately kneecap ourselves because society won't allow us to have nice things.

Here's hoping that one day, precedent will change on this matter.

Two people sit on a bench next to a fearless squirrel.

Probably my second best film photo of my 'career.'

@Gargron It's a great-- and enormous-- island to shoot in and on! Hope you got some hits!

If you ever see someone wandering around with a TX-1/X-PAN, it might be me-- wave and say hello!

@Gargron Whereabouts were you shooting?

@arstechnica I'm already paying- and happy to pay- to support a service I use extensively and daily.

That I'm also getting these- and that the opt-out button marked *didn't ask" doesn't actually opt you out, but still leaves you having to dig in settings- is very frustrating.

@eff It was the best of timelines. It was the worst of timelines.

What a dystopian world we live in.

@arstechnica Doubtful that these will do anything, given that the fundamental model of learning and training these models creates a black box. Efforts to untangle and finesse out the causes for certain outputs have not been particularly convincing, so bad actors will almost certainly always be able to find ways around safeguards.

This is a cat that was let out of the bag too early, before society was ready for it, IMO.

@arstechnica Worse still will be the reaction of certain uninformed members of the public, who will wave this result around as a reason to distrust medications with other methods of action.

@Gargron I remain somewhat torn on whether or not I should post photos here or on Pixelfed on a separate account. Fediverse can be a bit confusing at times.
