I did that too actually, a couple spins half way through because my first attempt had serious bromide drag.

Tried stand development with rodinal and I really like the grain it pulls out.

Industrial space with graffiti and metal beams.

Store front with a lot signage promoting ice for sale. One large sign reads Twice the Ice.

Steps in an abandoned industrial area with graffiti. Letters on the stairs spell the word Dread.

If you are someone who doesn’t know how to access/edit the exif data or even understand what that means, then take a screenshot of the photo and share that instead.

It'a all about pronounciation - the letter "S" is "ess" (/ˈɛs/ IPA) and the plural is "ess-iz" (/ˈɛsɪz/ IPA). It's the suffix -es pronounced as "-iz" (/ɪz/ IPA) making the plural of PDS (/ˈpiːˈdiːˈɛs/) PDSes (/ˈpiːˈdiːˈɛsɪz/ IPA).

I have beta access and so far it's pretty good. There are a lot of custom settings and the ui is getting better. It needs an option to post to Flashes only and a stories feature. Carousels are limited to 4 images and forces a square aspect ratio.

I like this tool pdsls.dev by @juli.ee

Same way any identity is verified. Verification is up to whoever wants to do it. It's up to you to decide if you trust them. As mentioned above Bluesky has no intention of adding verification. Labelers are built and maintained by third parties. If it were my labeler I would add peer verification.

Kevin Devine @kvndvn.social · Feb 11

It would be nice to have a labeler for verified journalists like there is for Mastodon.

Bluesky doesn't currently, or plan, to offer a verification process. The best you can do is use your domain as your handle bsky.social/about/blog/4...
