someone on the Motorola forums was having the same problem with the camera I've been having, but I just have to share the image they posted to demonstrate the issue.
it's the funniest shit I've ever seen in my life dude

The photo is of an elderly woman in gray clothes that has been so bizarrely processed that it looks both totally over and desaturated

Poster with a gradient blue background. Large text reads “the web we’ve built.” Smaller text says “Celebrating 1 trillion web pages archived.” Pixelated 3D icons of a floppy disk, magnifying glass, cursor arrow, computer window, and others radiate outward from a bright starburst in the center. On the right, text lists event details: “Wednesday, October 22, 5–10PM PT. Live stream: 7–8PM PT. 300 Funston Avenue, San Francisco.” The Internet Archive logo appears in the bottom right corner.

Alas there being some new atrocity in Trump’s America legit every 15 minutes more or less guarantees that something worse is literally on the horizon (or worse, people have become so numb to such sights that memories are thusly nonexistent)

I feel like this photo of masked, armed men pepper spraying a pastor protecting his community is going to be a defining picture of this moment in America for a long, long time.

Am legit shock that Bluesky’s stupid ass sensitive content filter didn’t block the embedded video below (tho I’ve only just begun my promotional push for the day)

The "best part" about my piece of shit next-door neighbors in my sleepy suburban part of Brooklyn is how they have so much construction going on non-stop that it legit feels like I live in Manhattan again

They're also pigs, so as soon as the day laborers are done, they'll no doubt call ICE on them

The only correct take, one that could be applied towards LOTS of things (and which goes against the spirit of social media as a whole, I know)

I’m not talking about the “AI “actress”” thing because it is so clearly an astroturfed non-story which only benefits from people taking it seriously, even as outrage / distaste. It does not exist. It *will* not exist, at least as executed by these people. I refuse to fall for it.

Speaking as the proud new owner of a PBS IS PUNK shirt (see my previously post), I must once again express my disgust whenever someone tries to equate PBS to NPR or puts them on equal footing
