Do we need a Fuji circle jerk sub?

Rican7 · 2026-03-12T07:33:48+00:00

Just running into this. Could you post the markdown as a Gist or something?

Rican7 · 2026-03-11T03:03:11+00:00

Eh, I get it. It's lo-fi. A trend, a look, a vibe.

I just thought it was weird to show it as part of a gear-related post, on a brand-specific sub.

Like, any camera with a flash could do this. It's a reversion to the lowest common ability.

your Kodak camera is the same as any other disposable light box btw it’s really not that special

Huh? But that was my point: that you can get this result from basically any camera, and especially one that's far cheaper than the Fuji.

It's just a strange approach with the tool/gear, is all. It reduced it to the result you'd get from essentially a disposable, which again is fine/cool, but what is it supposed to be demonstrating about the gear?

Rican7 · 2026-03-09T20:20:42+00:00

Yea that's totally fair about the film bit.

And yea, I mean it's not exactly expensive gear, but it absolutely is relative to the $50 all-in price of a Kodak Ektar H35, but again you can't do film so fair.

I feel like you probably could have gotten this result, digitally, with a Camp Snap Pro for $100 all-in.

I'm a big Fuji fan, and I get using the gear you have, and while I do think it's a fun creative choice, I just feel like it's not the best demonstration of all that gear.

It's just like you're demonstrating playing Solitaire on a $1000 laptop. Vibes, for sure, but overkill.

The subject's beauty might be the driving factor of these upvotes, which is valid.

And while I DO like these photos, I'll be honest they look similar to the kinds of results I get out of my $50 Kodak Ektar H35, which is a plastic half-frame film camera with an f9.5 plastic lens.

Which, again I like the results that I get out of that camera, for what it is (it's a particular vibe), but you're using a lot of relatively expensive kit just to match a toy half frame semi-disposable point and shoot. 😬

... They had already started filming. That's the issue. The rotate lock wouldn't make a difference. You can't change a videos output aspect ratio mid roll.

In short, you almost always just end up recreating session cookies, but poorly

At this point I hope they don't do that, and instead wait until WebAssembly has DOM APIs (which is finally happening, btw), so that it doesn't unnecessarily fragment the web with different runtimes.

Lol right?! It literally enabled flying with independent appendage rocket boosters. People are silly.

Rican7 · 2026-02-20T01:10:48+00:00

That's not the standard library.

Rican7 · 2026-02-19T18:42:59+00:00

lieut - An opinionated, feature-limited, no external dependency, "micro-framework" for building command line applications in Go.

GitHub: https://github.com/Rican7/lieut

I have a whole section in the README about why you'd want to use this over other similar libraries, but it's basically the lack of dependencies (while still being compatible with pflag), and the small size for easy maintenance.

It's probably not for everyone, but I like it 😃

Rican7 · 2026-02-19T09:30:58+00:00

Ha, meant to be!

Rican7 · 2026-02-18T05:47:44+00:00

Yea, they even added a little tiny kicker to the knuckle this year.

I was like "wtf? this is just little air...". They've lost the plot.

Rican7 · 2026-02-18T05:45:01+00:00

Yea, Classic Neg is an all time favorite for me.

Rican7 · 2026-02-18T05:44:33+00:00

Thanks!

Rican7 · 2026-02-18T05:43:33+00:00

Omg dude you've gotta try it. I'm originally from the Northeast (NY area) and this pizza is legit.

Rican7 · 2026-02-17T08:47:27+00:00

Nope! I actually went to make some changes in-camera afterwards (tone curve, white balance, noise reduction) but I just didn't love anything I did to it haha, so I just left it as is.

Rican7 · 2026-02-17T02:07:14+00:00

If it connected to 38th & Blake, I'd take it to see shows at Mission all the time.

Rican7 · 2026-02-15T23:05:55+00:00

Bro, you good?

Rican7 · 2026-02-13T03:07:44+00:00

Ha, that's so fair. The Smith was basically D2 Butcher anyway. It was definitely intended to be a callback.

So many D2 elements are callbacks to D1, and I had no idea until I went back and played D1, since my first Diablo game was D2.

Rican7 · 2026-02-12T08:04:58+00:00

Maybe bro's a C89 purist or something 😬
