Fuji X100 almost checks all the boxes (imho that’s why it’s sold out all the time). Would they dare to make one without a screen? Guess it’s unlikely, unfortunately.

In so-called developing countries, the full ban of R-22 will be 2030, which is a full ban with an asterisk to 2040. Not saying the phase-out isn’t happening, but there are, and there will be for quite some time, millions of units leaking cl

The phase-out under the Montreal protocol is an ongoing process, but we are far from there. The HFCs that replaced (H)CFCs in the 90s quickly turned out to be fastes growing category of short-term climate pollutants in many countries in the

There’s people for whom “slow, and every shot is expensive” is a feature [1] but I agree – especially the loss of (color) film diversity has been hard to swallow and made everything considerably less fun. I still enjoy it, but I don’t know

It’s hard… What’s so fascinating about film cameras is that they are little mechanical wonder machines. Have you ever held an Olympus OM1 or 2 in your hand? Beautiful, and it’s insane what they managed to fit in such a small package. But “m

The tool parent and sibling comment listed allows you to do basic subsetting [1], and generates the formats you need. If you do this more often, it is of course useful to learn how to do this yourself. A commonly used tool is pyftsubset, pa

I mean I don’t know how serious you are, but I am when I say I have a list in my notes of “appliances I might eventually need someday and should buy when I have spare cash before they won’t be available without a computer anymore”.

glyphtracer [1] can help with this, but letter shapes are only a small part of what makes a typeface. (Typography is about whitespace, or as Miles Davis said, “it‘s not about the notes you play, it’s the notes you don’t play that matter”.)

No, I just meant to say sourdough fermentation is slower than a quick rise enabled by commercial yeast. Though I do ferment rye breads longer than wheat, and with a rye bread, you would also usually sour more of the bread, like up to 50% of

You can use commercial yeast, but it will never be as light as with sourdough fermentation, but very dense and “soggy”. There are more factors at play here but the tldr is that, other than wheat, rye flour contains a very high level of am

What I like about DEVONthink is actually not the “duplicant”, but the “replicant”. My organization also evolved to a simple hierarchy over time, but the fact that files can live in several directories at the same time is very useful in some

A month or so ago, a screenshot of Snow-Leopad-era OS X standard UI controls made the rounds on the fediverse. One forgets so fast with incremental change, but when you take it in with some distance, it’s truly devastating how things have

I highly recommend reading this article [1] re: Boeing. It's the ultimate parable of late-state technocapitalism; and Airbus has really nothing to do with it. [1]: https://newrepublic.com/article/154944/boeing

It‘s old, but my favorite way to think about it still is Git = MacGyver, Mercurial = James Bond. Seems you prefer the flexibility of "I get the job done with a paperclip and a lighter" over the bespoke Q-Branch gizmo— obviously, m

No, I am proposing you write line-height: calc(2.5ex + 0.5rem); instead. The effect is the same, but based on the x-height of the font used, which can be beneficial for the reasons outlined. Adjust the ex to taste, between 2 and 2.5 or so.

I really hope Apple sherlocks them this year and releases a dedicated “Passwords” app. They might, to push their new pw-less login and so on.
