Trump's inability to pronounce 'Kamala' suggests either senility unfit for presidential duty, a level of intelligence below the minimum to act as president or a immaturity unworthy of office. Which is it, Donald? (You may choose more than one.)
'Kamala' - sounds a lot like 'Pamela' - like 'Pamela Anderson'. It's not hard.

I'm a disappointed with the result of the big build-up to the #Pentax17. I totally get what they've made, something for the swarm of TikTok users buying the Fujifilm X100 - trendy, pricey but automatic like an old Olympus half-frame.
It's not for me. If they bring out a 17M fully-manual with a 35mm equivalent lens, continuous focus ring with 'proper' distance markings, perhaps f2.8 or brighter, a film box end holder, no +/- dual, an aperture ring, let me know.

Fujifilm fans: Have we reached peak Fujifilm? Their mirrorless cameras have all been SO good over the last ten years that any photographer could pick any of them up and be in control of their image right away. Great handling, great user interface, great sensors. I look at the X100VI and the X-T50 and think, meh, so what?

What's not mentioned here is steel-reinforced concrete structures' lifespan - 100 years is an optimistic limit even for a quality construction. So *all* this shit will need to be torn down and rebuilt within 100 years. That's assuming that all these buildings in China are being made to top-notch standards which, from what I've seen on the Interwebs, is definitely not the case.

Trends on old camera gear are blowing my mind. I bought a Fujifilm X100V for what I thought at the time was a lot of money, €1100, new, delivered. The TikTok craze meant it was worth three times that last year, second hand. Afraid to use it, almost! Now I find that a Nikon Coolpix that I bought for its cheap-and-tiny qualities is probably also worth more second hand today than I paid new. I have more gear worth similar silly money today.
This is insane.

@npub17td…apfk I was running Minix and Coherent then I heard about this new, free OS that ran on 386. I found somebody on campus that was writing the stack of floppies to install Linux. I ran the machine mostly for my email and soon found that I could run an SMB server on it and then I was hooked.

Why do photographers love Fujifilm? Well I think it has very little to do with film simulation recipes. It's the Human Machine Interface, stoopid. Way back when we put film in cameras, that knob that sets the shutter speed, that ring around the lens for the aperture,… Buttons and knobs. Familiar buttons and knobs. #fujifilm #photography #hmi

@npub1cv6…d4rq @npub1g0t…tvm4 I'll make a sizeable bet that there are plenty of British here in Spain who are ignoring the #90dayrule right now. Call them "illegal immigrants", if you will. A good chunk of those "illegal immigrant" #Gammons voted in favour of #Brexit because of "all the illegal immigrants".
I, for one, am really looking forward to 100% logging & data sharing of all British citizens' entries + exits to/from Schengen.

Now that there are no special covid protocols in place (other than we should try and avoid getting it and spreading it, use vaccines, masks & self-isolation), why is there all that track and trace stuff still installed and active on my phone? I mean, nobody is notifying / reporting covid infections any more than they would flu or even a common cold, so all that tracking & contact tracing is being used for what, exactly?

@npub1gfd…7gg6 Darn tootin'. The weeks and months that I spent with my dad's printers. And last night I went to bed early and heard "mum, the printer's not working! ". I'm afraid I just went ahead and slept. I'm betting 1. it's out of paper 2. they're not connected to the home WiFi 3. maybe, just maybe it's out of toner. Whatever, the 14yo wouldn't be able to get to the bottom of it, for sure. But all A grades at school, don't you know?!? Sub-zero practical skills these days.

@npub1g0t…tvm4 @npub15zh…txc0 I quite agree that this isn't a slam-dunk barrowload of Tory votes. However, coincidentally Tories have just increased the electioneering spending cap by 80% to £35M. I bet that a chunk of that will go to some kind of #CambridgeAnalytica sharks to send very, very targeted #facebook messages to Daily Heil reading long time #expat #gammons in Fuengirola etc to spoon feed them how to register to vote in Tory marginal seats.

Excellent. We can't have some Schengen members unilaterally changing the rules because a loophole in one country effectively opens that same loophole throughout Schengen - at least on continental Europe.
Anyway, why the hell should Britons get any different treatment compared to citizens of any other 3rd country? To quote a Tory, Brexit means Brexit. Doesn't it?

@npub16nf…y96v Actually, the Tory politicians and Leave promotors (a very, very, very small subset of the leave supporters) represent a small cabal who don't give a toss about UK's isolation or any of the other detrimental effects on UK as a result of #Brexit.
This small cabal were interested in the continued privacy of their offshore investments - privacy that could only be retained if UK left EU.
Plus those billions made on derivatives on #Brexit vote night.

Neither BBC News nor any other British broadcast media gave any coverage of the HUGE Rejoin EU demonstration in London yesterday. This is a combination of state editorial control (BBC bosses are Tory party donors), media mogul control (more Tory party donors) and news being an advertising business, not a public service.
Ironically we have to leave it to France state news channel to report on it.

This is the real reason those with money, and therefore power and influence, mounted the #Brexit scam. Without Brexit, they'd have had to declare their offshore assets and income according to EU laws that were just coming into force.

This is my experience of British immigrants in Spain who voted for #Brexit. People with no capacity for critical thinking. They voted for Brexit "because of the immigrants". Now they themselves lost their EU privileges, duh!
They were told both lies AND the truth & they chose the lies. Because they're idiots.
On the plus side EU has become an even nicer place to be because it's now less likely that you'll hear people like Greg from Winchester sounding off about the immigrants in UK.
