Hey #believeinfilm friends,
Film photography took a back seat in the 2000s and 2010s because it couldn't compete with digital cameras' speed and convenience.
But does that still hold true in 2024?
Apparently, not. Miles Myerscough-Harris shot the Jests game on Portra, had it developed, and posted the results as the game continued.
I discuss this idea further on the blog: https://www.analog.cafe/comments/k676
What was the fastest film photo turnaround for you?

Na denn, @Gargron, viel Spass mit den Jüngern von
Olavo de #Carvalho dem so genannten "Guru" von #Bolsonaro .. .
Die hatten bereits Anfang/Mitte des letzten Jahrzehntes aus dem Nichts einen #diaspora* Server mit 25k Nutzern (theRealTalk.org) aufgezogen bevor sie dann urplötzlich die Wahlen gewannen.
Das wird bestimmt ein Riesenerfolg für #mastodon und das #fediVerse in dieser Runde ..

The worst kind of tech hype is when something is portrayed as inevitable and unstoppable, with criticism or doubt blithely dismissed as "they don't get it".
Just because a giant tech company pours vast amounts of money down a toilet, that doesn't mean the toilet is going to start spewing gold coins into the air.

What jobs are we preparing students for by boosting their writing productivity with AI? After shedding 40% of its workforce, the gaming site Gamurs posted an ad last June for an editor to write 250 articles per week. That’s a new article every 10 minutes, at $4.25 per article.
As @novomancy has noted, AI is only the accomplice here. This clickbait nightmare is the logical conclusion of the ad-supported web.

You might see friends today suggesting you support Hard Drive on Patreon today. You know, the funny video games version of The Onion? As a journalist, I will firmly tell you DO NOT GIVE THEM A DIME.
The CEO has pushed out all former staff that have built the site up to its current greatness and has been pushing use of AI. The staff begged to have a Patreon before basically all being pushed out, but the idea was refused until now, when it will only line the pockets of a single person instead of hard working writers.
I know they might have provided laughs before, but Hard Drive is a shell of what it was once. Let it die and support the people who actually made those moments of joy possible.
Edit: I am trying to compile all of the sources of info at this time into one big post for ease of access, if you want to keep up with that as it's updated: https://www.tumblr.com/literalgrill/738694194534776832/do-not-support-hard-drive-on-patreon

As an occasional journalist, I just love the way Ed Yong closes his latest OpEd at NYTs & couldn’t agree more. https://www.nytimes.com/2023/12/11/opinion/long-covid-reporting-lessons.html?unlocked_article_code=1.FE0.aHg1.KLP-3qDCnjtp&smid=nytcore-ios-share&referringSource=articleShare #GiftArticle #writing #journalism
“Journalists can act as a care-taking profession that soothes & nurtures. We are among the only professions that can do so at a scale commensurate with the scope of the crises before us. We can make people who feel invisible feel seen. We can make everyone else look.”
That captures the sorry state of much of #MSM when it comes to #DonaldTrump and #Election2024
Real #journalism requires practioners to ask every member of the #GOP to clarify whether they are in alignment with the #VerminSpeech
Real #journalists do not accept the usual evasive tactics utilized by pols in evading hard questions by attempting to run the clock down because of the tyranny of time slots

NPR’s data shows that they lost nothing after being ostracized by the psychotic white billionaire. It counters the idea that leaving Twitter is a loss. Let’s dismiss the idea that we need to be held hostage on any platform.
