[EN] Yahoo tolls the end of its free service "Yahoo-Groups". Yahoo will delete all uploaded content from its public newsgroups on December 14, 2019. Six months after Google+, the next "social network" is on the ropes. Users don't have much time to look around for alternatives. Uploading will already be blocked on 28 October 2019. Please promote ipernity to Yahoo users . We at ipernity still have 10 days to point out ipernity as an alternative in the Yahoo groups. If you are…

I saw this rather interesting news shared on social media, and thought it may interest also peeps around here: ➽ Camera sales are falling sharply by Om Malik So, supposedly phone cameras are taking over. Whether this is a bad or good thing depends on the point of view. Someone could call that as a "progress", and some may see it as a "paradigm shift". Or it can be even a "philosophical revolution". We all can't be masters of photography and professionals, but that should not stop…

[EN] Dear members and friends of ipernity! 1) The display of shooting positions has meanwhile been migrated from GoogleMaps to OpenStreetMap. This map is free of charge and has even better accuracy than GoogleMaps. In contrast to earlier times, the exact address and GPS coordinates are now also displayed. You can copy them directly into other applications, such as Google-Earth. 2) For the GEO-positioning of photos we have to use Google's fee-based service until further notice, because…

18.12.2018. Anglizismen infiltrieren in zunehmendem Masse die deutsche Sprache. Die (internationalen) sozialen Netzwerke sind da nicht ganz unschuldig daran, da dort die englische Sprache als Brückenbauer dient und so das Deutsch langsam "verwässert". Dies hat Auswirkungen bis tief ins kulturelle Erbe der deutschen Sprache, wie das nachfolgende Beispiel zeigt. Nicht-Schweizer mögen mir gelegentliche Helvetismen verzeihen ;-) (für Küre Bigler) W e i h n a c h t s z e i t –––…

[FR] Aide à renouveler ipernity ! ./. [DE] Helft ipernity zu erneuern! ./. Dear free user of ipernity, The ipernity website you are currently using was developed between 2009 and 2013. Meanwhile it is ten years old in terms of concept and technology. After 2013, it has grown organically and now consists of more than 21,000 networked html files. Operational reliability is declining steadily. The necessary adaptations to the state of the art are becoming increasingly difficult and…

What makes Ipernity an online photo sharing community that works? Read my take on this important and timely subject.

[EN] Dear members and friends of ipernity! 1 ) During the last two weeks Ipernity's performance was unfortunately not always as good as it should have been. The reasons were explained in the comments to the last Newsflash. In the meantime, various technical and organizational measures have been taken to recover the usual performance. 2.1 ) There are always requests about the warnings of modern browsers that ipernity is not safe. We would therefore like to point out again that ipern…

In letzter Zeit geht irgendwie alles ein bisschen drunter und drüber. Politisch zumindest. Da macht man sich neben rechts und links auch Gedanken zum Oben und Unten . Wenn sich z.B. Astronauten zu lange im All aufhalten, dann verlieren sie nach einer Weile völlig den Sinn für oben und unten. Sie können dann auch nicht mehr die Unterlippe von der Oberlippe unterscheiden. Beim Bodenpersonal ist das natürlich einfach zu bestimmen. Ein Ober z.B., der hat Oberlippen. Und diese Oberlippen bestehe…

If you have ever wondered how your ipernity account and images become picked by global search engines like Google, then hopefully this helps you to understand. Anything you publish with no restrictions get a status "Visible by: Everyone". It really means it is public on internet and it can not be restricted by any settings. What is public is then public .You can only set some local restrictions here on this page: https://www.test.ipernity.com/pref/privacy There you can say no to "Appear…

Ja, ja, der Steinmeier hat den Stein der Weisen gefunden: „Wenn ein demokratisch gefestigtes Land wie Deutschland sich nicht mehr in der Lage sieht, internationale Gäste einzuladen, Konferenzen wie diese auszurichten, dann gerät mehr in Gefahr als nur eine einzelne Konferenz. Dann überlassen wir im Grunde genommen die Entscheidung und die Auswahl, was hier in Deutschland stattfindet, einigen wenigen brutalen Gewalttätern.“ Es gehöre auch demokratisches Selbstbewusstsein dazu, „dass wir sagen:…

Happy New Year !!!! NINA SIMONE-FEELING GOOD www.youtube.com/watch?v=OfJRX-8SXOs 1ian - purpose for the new year: "It is never too late to be who you could be." George Eliot 2ian - washed Mura, the most wonderful puppy and started doing research on how to 'do the impossible': "There are seven things that destroy us: wealth lacking work, pleasure lacking consciousness, knowledge lacking character, religion lacking sacrifice, politics lacking principles, science lacking humanity, and b…

Während der Mittagspause bei der Arbeit letzte Woche habe ich 3 Teller Bohnen gegessen. Im Nachhinein war das vielleicht keine gute Idee. Als ich nach der Arbeit nach Hause gekommen bin, begrüßte mich meine Frau schon freudig und sagte: „Liebling, ich habe eine Überraschung für dich!“ Dann hat sie mir die Augen verbunden und mich zum Esstisch geführt. Ich habe mich hingesetzt und gerade, als sie mir die Augenbinde abnehmen wollte, klingelte das Telefon. Da es ein wichtiger Anruf sein könnte, nah…

Dear friends, please stay! I do not believe it is helpful to panic, escape from Ipernity, and build refugee communities on other platforms. In order to stay in contact with each other you do not need to escape; you should better stay here where we already have this great community and these contacts. To escape at this point is not rational: It is weakening Ipernity. And it weakens our own community. You are already about to split onto different platforms. I am not saying above on the…
