Hope you all have a great Christmas Day. Here's some Christmas tunes from Gran Turismo 5 to cheer up your day. Enjoy! [youtu.be]
@larand Sad to hear this, he was a humble soul and enjoyed the conversations we all had with him and it’s a huge loss. :(
@matigo It should be but with the GAFAMs (Google, Apple, Facebook, Amazon, Microsoft especially those four) gobbling up the space, there’s less and less options out there maybe even zero. Which to me it’s a sad feeling.
@matigo 500px hasn’t been the same since it’s been in Chinese hands and they recently changed their terms for the worse. Deleted my account a year ago.
@variablepulserate It’s not just that people don’t want to pay it’s more like frustration especially with the way they handled forced deletion of photos (they should have grandfathered those users IMO).
The desperate plea this week tells me that their user base has been in a continued decline since Smugmug took over. I can’t see them supporting Flickr much longer at the current rates and I feel that photographers may not have a alternative to go to unless they self-host.

@matigo Problem is that FB and IG compresses pics so much and have lots of restrictions on photo usage, while Google Photos keeps resolutions but compresses it so much.
Basically, photographers have no place to store photos if Flickr goes (unless like I said go the self-hosting route).
Just submitted my final piece of business work for the year, now to celebrate a bit!
Flickr in trouble again [petapixel.com]
Like I said, self-hosting your own photos is the only way to go without compressing since Flickr is close to death again.
@whoisashygirl I like that game, sounds fitting that you had a wonderful time with your fam!
