I've found that if I apply "recipes" or "presets" to my camera and shoot jpg I get roughly what I want straight out of camera. In fact, I find that shooting jpg exclusively with a preset _almost_ scratches that film itch: there is a kind of permanency to the rendered output, and that forces me to slow down and think about what I want to render with this subject like one does with film.

Once I'm done shooting I simply import to Apple photos and make very light edits from there if any before sharing.

It's liberating to embrace constraints and reduce tooling. You might even have fun.

I understand that running for power users and running for my uncle aren’t the same.

What's fun about this machine is its constraints, and it sort of reminds me of one of my processors orchestrating our school's server cluster via nothing but an 11" MacBook Air back in the day.

> Your inability to grasp this is disturbing and should come across as some sort of profound warning to everyone.

Way out of line, dude. Now you're insulting my ability to understand things? You think I don't know about all that? Obviously there are plenty of people who don't deserve credit, but there are also plenty who do. I take pride in having an exceptional credit score.

I'd get those wings. And I'd have a 'profound' time sharing them with friends and family making memories.

This is an extreme/incidental example, and very likely isn't how this feature is going to be used in practice: I realize that.

>The sort of person who would order wings as their backup catering for a wedding doesn't shouldn't be borrowing for this, one would think.

We're splitting hairs over personal opinions on personal finance here.

My example with the wings is an extreme/incidental use-case, and I realize that it'd be atypical to unheard of in practice.

Obviously there is also the opposite dark and pessimistic take here, but there are potentially good things as well?
