Just get a refurbished film camera like the excellent Canon AE-1 Program and enjoy film photography. The chemicals used for developing color film are bad enough already, no need to add pollution by single use plastic to the problem again.

I can't say WSL2 eats host RAM or vRAM: I moved all my ML training and finetuning stuff (OSS LLMs, TTS, STT, Text2Img) to WSL2 and have only minimal overhead. A clean Win11 host eats away less than 2GB and I love how you can just use y

True. But the better way forward IMHO is to give access to technology in equal ways, instead of keeping it in the hands of a few who promise they are the good ones. Because then an chilling effect can happen, and the playing field is level.
