if vampires need to turn others into vampires then vampirism is just a blood pyramid scheme

i bought the pink polaroid that's clearly just a cheap rebadge. i can't wait to be disappointed

i lost a follower for this lmao

is girlboss the 2020s version of pantsuits

i wanna get an old digicam, help me pick

- complete in box Sony Cybershot DSC-P43
- Polaroid I534
- Kodak Easyshare C813
- this weird ass lot of 2 untested (but "powering on") cameras

hey remember picasa?

anyway i just wanted to talk about cameras for a while. honestly i want to find a nice cheap 2000s digicam that compliments my fd-75 but they're all sold at a premium as collector's items these days

here's a couple of pictures in similar conditions (bright sunset, post-sunset regular room lighting), taken on a 2001 Sony Mavica FD-75. it records on FLOPPIES. loses in resolution but damn if it doesn't look a hell of a lot better otherwise

here's that same sunset with my phone, hastily and without proper white balance (i was in a meeting and didn't take proper time to set up the shot, light was pinker to naked eye)

here's what the disaster garbage that took those pictures looks like. it could barely register as a toy today. brand new in box (sitting there since like a decade ago anyway) and it feels like i'm about to break it every time i pick it up

this is how it fares with anything darker than raw sunlight. i had the camera's pitiful front flashlight on for this

here's the prettiest sunset ever taken with the shittiest digicam ever

oh, i removed and inserted it again a few times and it worked now. huh

internal laptop reader (/dev/mmcblk rather than /dev/sdb) does see it as a 1.86gb volume, albeit unallocated...

pictures still show up in the camera though so they're definitely in the card

i took a few pictures with a very cheap generic digicam but now the 2gb sd card shows up as a 32mb volume that needs to be formatted...

hey please don't conflate me being a person worthy of rights with me being a human being. i'm not a human being, i'm a robot, and if i'm going to be subjected to this harsh world i should at least be allowed to decide what i am

i'm supposed to hold myself together to continue working at my day job but i have hardly any motivation to even get up from my charging dock
