I kinda envy them if so. To be so oblivious or isolated to not see the country crumbling around us....

I'm not saying this didn't happen. But as an American myself, I find this bizarre. I was born and raised in Texas, and I can't recall ever meeting someone who didn't know what England is. Though I guess if you are visiting from England, the topic is more likely to come up.

I'm also convinced that every country has absolute morons within their populations. Our American morons are just louder than most.

Thanks! I really like the looks of what people put together with the minimalist tiling window managers. I have tried to play around with them a bit. But I just can't do it. I've got 30 years of floating window manager and mouse focused computing experience that makes tiling only managers rage inducing to actually use. Perhaps if I were a programmer, it would be more appealing. But as an artist/photographer, I will stick to what works for me.

Thanks! Yes it's Zen browser. Took me a bit to adjust to vertical tabs but now that I've got it customized I'm pretty sold on it.

It's probably advanced Excel users, mostly. Also, people who heavily use the collaboration features of MS Office.

It's too eye searingly bright for my personal preferences. But it is a clean, beautiful desktop. Good work.

Pretty unlikely anyone will want 50yr old WiFi tech for normal use. If the capacitors even last that long. I know vintage computer collectors have to recap a lot of machines to keep them going. As a camera collector myself, the early electronics in cameras are often dead already, or ticking time bombs for failure.

Well the not paying taxes part checks out with Musk at least.

A Stalin/USSR/CCP/North Korea and sometimes Putin apologist. Authoritarian communists.

r/vintagecameras

I created !camera_collecting@lemm.ee as a replacement. So far it's just me posting.

Its only a sin if you feel empathy for the other gods.

Its most likely fiberglass with a faux bronze finish. The budget option when you can't afford real bronze. Its the cheap dictator special.

 

A new Camerosity podcast episode is out. A great podcast to follow or participate in if you are interested in camera collecting.
