I had the Sony a6000 and was incredibly happy with it. I loved using vintage lenses on it with a mount adapter and got some really cool-looking shots that way. The mirrorless a6700 just seems like a beefed-up verion of the a6000, so I'd pretty happily recommend it.


Thanks! Yeah, I decided to go ...

I'm the opposite of a coffee snob. I like pretty much all coffee. I recognize that some stuff is objectively better, but I think it all has merit. I can drink some pre ground cheap stuff from a grocery store and some high quality medium roast from a local roaster and be satisfied with either ...

I don't use snaps, but getting flatpak on Ubuntu has always been easy. Used to distrohop a lot back in the day... but these ...

So I have been thinking of getting me a camera for a while. I am mostly a hobby photographer, and have been trying to learn stuff on my phone camera. Used to own a DSLR back in the mid-2010s, but that was a pretty basic one.

Wondering if I should get the Sony Alpha ILCE-6700M or the Fujifilm X-T50?

I didn't even realize that Legacy of Kain: Defiance Remastered was out! I think I am gonna splurge on it...

The Symbolic Species by Terrence Deacon, The Kingdom of Speech by Tom Wolfe and Decoding Chomsky by Chris Knight. They all have one thing in common -- utter charlatanism by people running their mouth about things they simply do not understand. Penrose's books on consciousness are also good ...

The Caribou Trail is fucking awesome!!
