Would you mind explaining how to do that easily in a way that only reveals age without being a privacy nightmare? Which means that it mustn't be giving sites an excellent tracking identifier nor requires them to process documents themselves.

I'm waiting for the day substack puts RSS access behind a paywall. Unfortunately some decent blogs are still on that platform

Well, the other thing is that except for the instant film, there's no instant gratification in this hobby. Even when one processes at home, the typical time form a photo to a print is measured in hours.

Film photography is my hobby and I think that there isn't anything that would prevent from exposing a displayed image on a piece of film, except for the cost.

Depending on film it might not be easy to tell exposing an image from a real picture.

The "hybrid" digital instax cameras work this way, it's just a digital camera that has a way to internally expose the picture on the instant film.

It's trivial to do analog prints from digital images too, just requires an inkjet printer and a special film to print out the "digital negative".

The only way in which it may succeed as a deterrent is that it actually costs some money (film and processing is not cheap) and requires actual work to do those extra steps.

I fucking hate them for ruining the em dash, I liked to use it from time to time

A lot of it is, but let's agree that using "prior" is just fucking pretentious

I think that 3D printing never picked up, because it's one of those things that empower the people, i.e. to repair stuff or build their own things, so the number of opportunities to grift seems to be smaller (although I'm probably underestimating it).

Most of the recently hyped technologies had goals that were exact opposites of empowering the masses.
