   Deleted my account for "advertising"

   Former blogger for Second Life virtual world. ~ Had my account revoked after I was told my blogging was "advertising", even though 100's of other users do the exact same thing. Years of work down the tubes. Will never use it again. ~ Note: They are doing this to push for "PRO" memberships, because the company is hurting for money.

   🏁 Competitors: Instagram, Facebook

   👍 Pros:    Free to start, until you gain too much popularity.|Good for casual use.

   👎 Cons:    Spam|Abundance of advertising|Photostream hijacking by ads|Horrible customer service.

• Instagram alternatives for promoting business, now that EU laws messed it up?

  Is flickr.com still alive? It used to be so cool back in the day, but I dropped off from photography in general over like the past decade, so have no clue how things are going over there. Source: 6 months ago

• 20mm or 35mm prime lens

  20mm will look wider on your Z6II than your D40x but it should look the same as it does on any other FX body like the D780 or the D850. Go on flickr.com and search for photos taken with 20mm lenses. You can type 20mm in the search bar. Make sure you look at photos taken with full a full frame camera. If those match the look you are going for, go ahead and grab the 20mm. Source: 11 months ago

• Some kid said you only these maintenance trains every 20 years?

  If it was like the post on 'flickr.com' saying it was a ''19354 DDM45'' Then I know the info to that. Source: 11 months ago

• Karina & Winter (HQ 12MP)

  They should do https://flickr.com/ and gives us hi-res images. 😅. Source: 12 months ago

• Question to Experienced ancestry user:

  When you scan your images, you can reduce the quality. You might consider getting a subscription to an on-line photo system, like flickr.com, where you can upload original images of high quality. You could have lower-quality ones on ancestry, or just use an outside link to the photo record you have. Source: 12 months ago

• How to tag and store pictures downloaded from the internet?

  Digikam seems ideal for this https://digikam.org/. - Source: Hacker News / 10 months ago

• What are your favorite methodologies for organizing digital life

  I have all of my photos (with the exception of smartphone photos... ugh) in a nicely constructed set of folders \photos\yyyy\yyyymmmdd\ then the folder made by the camera, etc. I've got a small python script to generate the folders. I use Digikam[1] to do facial recognition and tagging on them. It's finally gotten to the point where it doesn't crash all the time writing metadata, and the facial recognition is... - Source: Hacker News / 10 months ago

• are there any free self-hosted DAMs like Adobe Experience Manager [AEM]?

  I use digikam for my own personal library. I’m not sure if it’s able to be run from a server, but I know you can hook up a NAS to it to manage it. Can tag photos, rank, organize, etc. Source: about 1 year ago

• Looking for a simple Photo manager/DAM for not photos advice?

  Check out digiKam. It has photo editing tools as well, but the main focus is photo management. Also it is free and open source. Source: almost 2 years ago

• Looking for a way to tag my photo collection with keywords

  But with that many photos, I'd suggest a more fully featured digital asset management (DAM) program. Lightroom (paid), DigiKam, or DarkTable (both free) are good choices. PhoTool's IMatch (paid) also uses exiftool and is extremely powerful with regards to metadata. Source: about 2 years ago
