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

Microsoft has finally unbundled Teams with Office 365 in their subscription model...
In 2021, we filed an anti-trust complaint with the European Commission and created a coalition with our demands for an anti-competitive market.
Unfortunately, similar to the “malicious compliance” shown by Apple, it is more to get the regulators off their backs than a real stop to their anti-competitive behaviour 🕵🏽♀️

“#NathanSchneider has the patience and fortitude most of us lack. He’s identified a phenomenon he calls “#ImplicitFeudalism’ - the bias to build our online and real #communities as #fiefdoms, and how this has made us more tolerant of similarly autocratic CEOs and politicians. He’s even optimistic and energetic enough to see how the blockchain could be employed to distribute #governance in a more democratic fashion.”

La gentrificación digital
Por José Heinz
Dejar en manos de algoritmos nuestras elecciones, sumado a la abrumadora cantidad de contenido que se produce todo el tiempo, está creando una cultura de consumo que no se permite la experimentación o el desborde para no quedar invisibilizada.

Financial constraints to living & working in Washington, D.C. likely define & reinforce the community of people able to stay long enough to achieve senior positions, leading to a policy-making community distinct from the American public.

So what? "Misperceptions & blind spots among decision makers may occur, in part, because their lived experiences primarily reflect those from communities with the resources required to maintain influential roles."

and this is exactly why we shouldn’t be leaving such decisions up to such people in the first place.
And it’s not how the system was designed.
So the problem is not that there’s a lack of diversity among the decision makers. The problem is that these people should not be making such decisions in the first place.

It's part of a much bigger painting. I wish I had chosen a different colour of rose. This was just the rose I saw on the day, and I was surprised that the indigenous blue-banded bees were harvesting its pollen, and so I took a snap!

I wrote about my journey that started as an experiment to see how my Threads feed would look like on Mastodon and ended with me finding experiences that went above and beyond my expectations. A post in which I try my hardest not to rant about lists.
