I was at the Real Camera shop in Manchester and saw a Mamiya medium format camera in person. I wish I had the 800 pounds to drop on it 😅 Bought an amber lens filter instead to see if I can get better colors in this weather.

The arguments against sideloading are real; but we can't let the disaster that is Android prevent us from demanding real browser choice on iOS:

The best solution to "app stores are rapacious" is a web that can compete, and it's no coincidence that Apple is *super* invested in preventing that from emerging:

When an alt-right extremist Christian American fuckboy sees a conference talk you did and decides to character assassinate you, you really have 2 choices.

The Humming Bird (poem)

Attachments:

• The Humming Bird I laid a humming bird to rest this morning. We found it on the deck beneath the feeder. Probably one of our regular visitors. One broken wing the only clue. Someone said to put it in the garbage. That hurt my heart. Humming birds demand so little in life and so much less in death. I carried the little bird in my hands to a corner of our yard and covered it in leaves, trusting to nature the work that remained. I said a little prayer that I hoped someone someday might say for me: Thank you for the pleasure of your company. The universe was better for having you in it. I got up and spared a moment's thought for all the humming birds that fall where I never see. -- Anonymous (remote)

In panel 3, the owl is standing on a quail, a flicker, and a red squirrel. The narrator says "It's a brave little creature that... Whoa, go easy there, buddy!" In panel 4, the owl is now standing on a quail, flicker, squirrel, and moose, and the narrator says "Oh. Oh no" (remote)

This box of 600+ specimen cards holds a complete snapshot of the last metal type foundries in Germany.

Produced 1958–1971, the Schriftenkartei (Typeface Index) represents the final effort to catalog all the country’s typefaces in production at the time. The cards are useful for researchers and designers as they share a common format and show complete glyph sets. Thanks to Michael Wörgötter, a set of these cards is now in our collection, and his high-res scans are online. https://letterformarchive.org/news/schriftenkartei-german-font-index/

Fashion Dreamer is cool so far! It really is pretty close to being Style Savvy HD. (No surprise there, it's the same dev with a different publisher.) There's a bit more of an emphasis on creating your own garments, which is cool, but they no longer have any sort of shop sim going on, or any story line. It doesn't seem accurate to call it barebones when there are so many garments and so much customization, but it kinda feels like you're just serving in a void
