A place for optimism, relentless positivity, anti-doomerism, and snuggle sessions.

We're all in this together, and a better world is possible!

This is now also a space for organizing tips for our collective survival as we confront climate change and everything else. Still no doom-posting. We're here to work together, support each other, and boldly face the future.

Rules:

  1. Familiarize yourself with the site-wide Code of Conduct

  2. No doom, no gloom, only bloom. There's plenty of room for doomerism elsewhere. This community is solely for having a positive outlook on the future and spreading good vibes.

  3. Be kind to your fellow users. This also means no arguing in the comm. Arguments and negativity are not conducive to blooming. Constructive discussion is good. No interest-policing. Support your comrades in their joy!

  4. Always share good news. We can't exactly enforce this one, but if you have good news, please share it with us! Keeping happiness and positivity to yourself is the twelfth type of liberalism.

turns out the laws of physics (a larger lens) trumps software enhancement every time

I have an Olympus XZ-1, with the f/1.8 equivalent lens, and while it's not good at everything and has a small (very small, nowadays) 10 mp sensor, there is stuff it's still way better at than any smartphone camera. You don't get any bokeh on a phone after all! Phones just aren't getting a ~2" diameter lens any time soon, and there is no substitute for more glass.
