macroplastic

I use openscale and a Beuer BF700 (I think that's the model #, it's a model listed in the github wiki) and it works great, although I had to do the initial setup on their proprietary app to get the profiles to work right, and the scale had to be imported/was a bit hard to find. The wiki includes instructions for modifying a scale to add an arduino and the necessary bits to DIY one if you're at all technically inclined.

I recommend it, but YMMV if you try to use a newer scale. If I ever have more time I would like to try to extend the drivers to support more scales, because openscale is very good software.

Yep, agreed! Just advocating critical thinking. Part of the problems of pseudonymous platforms with open signups is that it makes it easy and imposes low financial cost to control a bunch of accounts that people can use for ends like that.

Of course other websites and search engines themselves are doing the same, the cost for setup is just higher (hosting, SEO optimization, advertising, etc.)

I don't really think that's a solvable issue for open platforms, which is why I think critical thinking is crucial as an advocate for platforms. That's why I'm here!

Nothing is impossible to compromise. It's about making it not worth it (why go after some home lab when they can use the same methods to extort milliions of dollars?).

Unfortunately, these days it's quite possible it's coming from an LLM. I agree with your sentiment, you just have to always keep in mind what other possible incentives an actor on the internet may have for sharing a fact or opinion, whether it's simply monetary (corporate wants you to buy this product), political (this state wants to you to believe this thing), or personal (this person has a grudge against this thing and is willing to use bots to amplify their discontent).

Clips?

I want one that has this on the back and "STUFF" on the front

I mainly shoot nikon F mount, so I'd have to see if an adaptor is available! I know there are a ton of AI mount manual focus lenses, but I haven't done too much research on which ones are well regarded.

Stunning, really good use of B&W!

I need more prime teles.

Agreed

Didn't know this, thanks!

You can get most Dell laptops shipped with Ubuntu, but I don't think that's available at a brick and mortar retailer.
