i wish i liked shooting on point-and-shoot cameras. (i am all for the young kids getting into them lately; they're just extremely not for me.) that said, some of them just look so neat in a wonderfully of-their-day way.
i ran across pics of this little 80s half-frame oddity while trying to look for minolta's (much older) half-frame camera. (spoiler: it was the minolta repo-s from 1964) i don't have much nostalgia in my heart for 80s aesthetics (file under: "once was enough, thanks") but i saw this and was like "oh, nice."

I am cursed to like weird, old cameras, but to also not like 35mm film.

I love this so much. It is such a fantasy. Can you imagine this actually ever happening? What a triumph!
I'm still on the lookout for the 12v / 1.5amp power adapter... it's somewhere in the basement!

An absurd text conversation full of invented words and deep-cut references to very niche media and experiences.
It says:
“Condolenlations
That’s condolences and congratulations.
Blants for the Condolenlations.
Shut up
I am going to throw the phones at you guy
Abdomen and some dried fish”

I always love how it’s possible to ONLY use ridiculous inside jokes to chat to best friends. This is literally the conversation I had with my friend JD this morning about the fact that it’s his last day at a job he’s long had mixed feelings about so he can join his family’s little flooring company.

Black and white photo of Louise Brooks wearing an amazing dress giving a steely stare sat on a plush sofa.

A very crisp image of the waning Moon, showing a range of colours
Prathamesh Jaju, 16, from Pune, Maharashtra, (India) shared this HDR image of a waning crescent moon.
"Colors, Jaju said, are a fascinating phenomenon. They represent the minerals of the Moon that DSLR cameras can distinguish with greater clarity than the human eye.
"The blue tones reveal areas rich in ilmenite, which contains iron, titanium and oxygen, while the colors orange and purple show relatively poor regions in titanium and iron. White and gray tones indicate areas exposed to more sunlight."

28 X 5.25 inch floppy disks
see also QuarkXPress 3.x
I don't long for the days of discovering some disk 80% of the way through is corrupted.
@ba I would prefer not to.
Does that include the OS patch disks?
I used to keep my set in a brown paper grocery bag underneath my desk.

Been there! Well, not Poland, but, you know.
Well that escalated quickly.
Ha! I interviewed a person for a role yeasterday and as she was leaving I reached for the door to open it for her and she thought I was trying to shake her hand and reached for mine, I had to divert my hands trajectory to accept the shake and it really showed.
As I was looking at her I could see the dread filling her face 😯
I had already offered her the job so I hope she can get past that moment and accept 😊

Didn't Jackie Treehorn live there?
Ah, nevermind, that was this house: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki...
as a stone thrower, i could never
I'm in for halfsies if someone can spot me around $3,624,000
I’d love to see what an interior designer could do with my current furniture and nick nacks in that place.
@ufez I would have guessed a Richard Neutra house.
Wasn't there a party here in Station 11?
Never mind, this was built later.
I'm of an age where I see that and my first thought is "the upkeep on that is going to be murder". Lovely to look at, but I can't imagine actually living there.
@dreyfusslugado I'm of an age where I see that and my first thought is man all that open space and the weather would be depressing AF. Just feels like you're living on a remote planet and everybody's dead and 70s music is playing on a loop while you degrade
@mashcan don't threaten me with a good time!

But once I explained the cost/benefit of VPN and a pirate flag vs Netflix/Hulu/HBOMAX etc's enshittification there was little to do but wade through the "yes I'm sure" emails/chats.
And to those who might cry "won't someone think of the creators(and their livelihoods)"!!
I am.
They are getting hosed too.
We need a better solution to funding the internet/entertainment/industrial complex that doesn't involve bundles, ads, AI and/or micro-transactions...

I'm still on Usenet after all these years. My activity tapered off there for a bit because I don't mind paying for shit but it's picked up a bit more lately.
@dad I've been tempted to get a usenet subscription but haven't dug into it. Would you mind sharing which one you've been happy with?
@roue https://www.easynews.com/
Just checked and I've been on there 22 years!
The modern UI assembles all the pieces so you only have to click one link to download a file.
Some of the big boys have finally started taking stuff down though, not much luck with popular HBO shows, for instance.

For movies, I hear you.
For music - Bandcamp and Soundcloud are far-less-than-enshittified.

You need a usenet source _and_ an nzb source. I'm a longtime customer of frugalusenet.com and eweka.nl for the raw feed, and I've got a half-dozen varied nzb sources to rely on.
I'm a usenet gal, we use Thundernews and I often tell people to check the subreddit for currently good deals. I pay by the block, not the month which is most cost-effective for us. I use nzbgeek.info for the nzb part.

I don't get how usenet is better/safer? than torrents etc.. what's the technological catch? How do they actually store and serve files

For LinkedIn and stuff. It has the advantage of not being a decade old.
Just my opinion, which is far from expert: I would suggest more even lighting for a headshot. When the photo is reduced to avatar size, the shadows may become more exaggerated, and make the shot appear less "professional." That said, I like this photo of you—you look great.
@ba Ah! Thank you for that!
@brundlefly echoing @ba, on a sunny day the best place to take your photo is in the shade and with your back to a relatively uncomplicated background. So like if you take a selfie with your back to the siding of a house, it'll work a lot better.
Agree. It's a good looking photo of you in general, but if you're trying to say "hire me" and you're not going for a park ranger job I'd try to get the lighting a bit flatter.

That's a good mayor.
Hear hear.
@homerj Meh, he's not a great mayor, but he is saying the right things today. The number of people out observing and protesting today, even after this shooting, is the real story.
I agree, he's not a great mayor, but he has been on the right side of this issue.
These thugs have been driving around south Minneapolis grabbing anyone with dark skin today.
DHS has said this is domestic terrorism. They are right but its them who are the domestic terrorists. Good guys don't run around in masks to shield themselves from accountability.

A tree, remarkably patterned, against the sky.
A tree, very patterned, metaphor for hopefulness, harmony.
Thank you for this.
If I were still photo shopping, I would flip this thrice.
I used to play bass in this death metal band…
@d09m4t1c So you are saying, metaphorically, you represent the bigger limbs...
(still angry with myself for getting rid of my Yashica T5 tho)
