Superia X-Tra 400? Muy favourite film, specially when lab scanned with a Fujifilm Frontier SP 3000, It's still in production? In Spain I rarely see it.

So, Elon is suing advertisers for not advertising on X. Alritey then.

I'm back on @EvolutionGnome after being a longtime @thunderbird devotee (and funder). Although I appreciate the new efforts at TB, it has unfortunately become unusable for daily driving for me:
- MS calendars don't work with new MS support: reddit.com/r/Thunderbird/comme…
- OWL plugin doesn't really work either: reddit.com/r/Thunderbird/comme…
