We were at Plaça de Catalunya waiting for the Hop-On-and-Off tour bus when we met with a protest. I saw this girl texting with her phone in front of the protest and thought it would be an interesting scene to document this event.
When nerds protest, nerd signs and t-shirts follow. And nerd discussion on XML/HTML raged on, climaxing with Jon Hanna's comment: "If we were going to have XML models for US Presidential Candidates, would the fact that Kerry is Bush-Lite make him more appropriate for mobile devices?"

This is a symbolic mark of protest against the new Beta change which Flickr proposes to force upon all users ..
If you wish to make protest, then please only upload a " Black " picture on the 8th December
*** This is available for download should you wish.
With the new platform Beta Team Flickr intend to make further changes that will limit severely the exchanges between users:
1 - There will be no white space below the photo for description, comments or invitations to groups
2 - Difficult to write a comment that contains more than 3 words
3 - We can not see who supports our pics
4 - We can not see in which groups the photo appears
5 - The images of the award will not be visible
6 - The visits will no longer be visible. The latter will only appear in Recent Activity, others will be lost.
7 - For Admin it will become impossible to manage groups so many will close.
8 - Our descriptions, including quotes, links to YouTube or other sites will be hidden
( translated from Italian )
Changes should not delete/destroy/ruin the very factors which caused us to join flickr in the first place ...
Example of page showing how the Beta Flickr shall be.... in first comment.

"Yahoo has new ideas. flickr is offering 1 TB free space for all accounts. Those who want to be rid of advertisements have to pay.
I appeal you all those who plan to quit, to change your mind and stay. You can make use of your accounts just for storage. Make your accounts private, make this image public and use flickr for storage. You can save on external hard disks.
If we check in to a hotel room seeing it's features, should we bear it without a word of protest if they take away the furniture one by one including the bed ? flickr should know that the people who protest are not against 'changes'.
Changes shouldn't steal away the utilities that made people choose flickr.
Protest ! flickr is not just the property of few people who get paid to serve the people that make it. If they offer 1 TB free space for every account, the salaried people who planned it have advertisements in mind. Many unique special utilities made people like you and me join flickr, and flickr is taking away all what that made us choose it. Now the only special thing in flickr is 1 TB free storage. Let's then make use of it, without caring about flickr's revenue. We can seek better places for what we like, still keep this place for storage. If the 'hotel' stinks and cheated us, make it your warehouse or sty. If this is forced on us, you can make your account private, store everything here; display , share and comment elsewhere.
Thank you.
Anuj Nair"

Users of the English version of Flickr may have got the botton " try our new experience Beta"
This is an incredible regression .....once again
No longer any white space underneath pictures for comments, description, invitations etc....
Everything is gathered in a tiny sidebar to the right of the photo in the Lightbox
All features that allow interaction and sharing have gone so groups might also disappear ......
You may take a look here

If you want to save the groups from a certain death, Please click this blue link and go to vote

We had got used (more or less) the first changes, but this time, it is a
total scuttling of Flickr and of its spirit of sharing :(
We can't see who faved our pictures
We can't see the groups the pictures appear in ( except only 8)
Awards images. are not shown
Invitations are not visible except for the last ones (only in "Recent Activity").They're lost.
For admins group management will become a work more and more difficult or even impossible
Groups might close......and groups add visibility to our pictures
Our descriptions including quotes or links to YouTube or other sites are hidden
NO LONGER ANY CONVIVIALITY.. ANY VISIBILITY . NO SENSE
*I specify for those who haven't seen the Beta page;that there is NO
white area under the pictures for descriptions / comments / invitations /
flickr Award Counter
Only a narrow sidebar to the right of the image ,showing ONLY the last 4 comments
White print on a black and depressive background, that hurts the eyes
Unfortunately everything we can do is absolutely useless ....
Unfortunately it is obvious that Yahoo wants to turn Flickr into another social network for teens and young using only tablets and smartphones and whose only interaction is Hi or Lol
Motivated photographers using computers and large screens are no longer interesting users.... ( nor groups since our invitations are only visible on our "Recent Activity "Page....The oldest are lost ....)
How many people know what represents the Beta Page ?? I wonder ?
Only some users of the English version of Flickr ..... but not all of them
All this is very discouraging
T H A N K Y O U !!!!!!!!!

Did you know that flickr has been testing a new beta version of flickr?
I haven't actually seen the beta page but I've had it described to me:
"...there is NO white area under the pictures for descriptions / comments / invitations / flickr Award Counter
Only a narrow sidebar to the right of the image ,showing ONLY the last 4 comments
White print on a black and depressive background, that hurts the eyes
No sense. Hard to write comments exceeding 2 or 3 words
We can't see who faved our pictures
We can't see the groups the pictures appear in ( except only 8 )
Awards images. are not shown in comments : which means that neither members nor admins can check
Admin-Invitations are not displayed ( the last ones are visible ONLY in "Recent Activity").The oldest are lost
For admins , group management will become a work more and more difficult or even impossible
Some groups might close......and groups add visibility to our pictures
They allow us to admire beautiful works and to meet with great photographers.
Our descriptions including quotes or links to YouTube or other sites are hidden
NO LONGER ANY CONVIVIALITY.. ANY VISIBILITY . NO SENSE
In fact this layout specifically targets tablets and smartphones"

_Feedback
Unfortunately everything we can do seems absolutely useless ....
Yahoo and Flickr don't care
Unfortunately it is obvious that Yahoo wants to turn Flickr into another social network for people (mainly teens and young ) using only tablets and smartphones and whose only interaction is Hi or Lol
Motivated photographers still using computers (with photo-softwares) and large screens are no longer desirable customers....
( nor groups since our invitations are only visible on our "Recent Activity "Page....The oldest are lost ....and everything is done to impede their functioning)
Advertising is much much more lucrative than our Pro accounts .......
How many people know what represents the Beta Page ?? I wonder ?
Only some users of the English version of Flickr ..... but not all of them
Users of any other language have not been informed.... amazing No ??
All this is very discouraging
A big special Thank You to Marissa Mayer
Bravo ..You will be be erected a Big / Great / Magnificent / Majestic statue on the ruins of Flickr .... Well deserved

Pro-Morsi Protest in Paris France.
Protesto de egÃpcios pró-Morsi, em Paris, nas imediações do Pompidou. 13/10/2013
Massive protest against the governments austerity policies. It was announced that a quarter of a million people took part. Some now say it was closer to 160,000. If this is more realistic that's fine by me. That's roughly double the number who marched in June 2014 - I've been thinking about how this is also about democracy. None of the parties speak for the less well off, the poor and the principled. And of course the outcome of the general election cemented that.
London 20 June 2015. March organised by the People's Forum Against Austerity. www.thepeoplesassembly.org.uk/
June 14, 2021 - Minneapolis -- One has been pronounced dead after a vehicle drove through protesters and their barricades sending 3 to the hospital. The protesters, who've been gathering in Uptown Minneapolis since the Winston Smith killing, apprehended the driver who was then arrested by police.

This image is part of a continuing series following the unrest and events in Minneapolis following the May 25th, 2020 murder of George Floyd.
policemen while being confronted about their behaviour by a young woman, just before the outbreak of huge clashes in beşiktaş that would rage on through the night and all the way up to inönü stadium. note that riot control forces are equipped with actual firearms, which i consider highly inappropriate. june 02 2013.

After chasing away anti-Modi protesters, Chhatra League line up for a photo op outside the Dhaka University Vice Chancellor's residence. Safe distancing doesn't appear to be an issue.
a protester is banging a rock on a garbage container in the secluded area of gazi (where a man almost died from a direct gas grenade hit to the head the day before) to show that he is not retreating.
the situation here is very different from the one in beyoglu. the protesters are cut-off from what is happening elsewhere in istanbul, there are many akp supporters and there is no clear front line against the police. hardly anybody outside this part of town knows about what is going on, press coverage was almost non-existant, and i haven't seen a single medical helper. on the other hand, the protesting seems less sophisticated, more destructive and more aggressive.
I think this truck delivered the free hot dogs to the protesters and residents of the Balmoral Hotel and others of the Downtown Eastside, during the protest against the Balmoral Hotel evictions.
East Hastings Street, Downtown Eastside, Vancouver, BC
This driver was too impatient to wait for the police to open the intersection, so she drove into the crowd of 5,000 marchers.
An estimated 5,000 people turned out for the march to protest the Kinder Morgan pipeline, which will bring crude oil and refined petroleum from the oil sands in Alberta to Vancouver, British Columbia, presumably to be shipped to China. This will increase tanker traffic in and is a danger to our already threatened marine life in the Inside Passage, where two recent spills in two months have already occurred this year. An estimated 5,000 protesters joined the march, from the City Hall to the downtown library.
City Hall, Vancouver, BC
Campaigners converged on Conservative headquarters in protest at remarks by shadow home secretary Chris Grayling, who last week sparked a row when he said people who ran bed and breakfast in their homes should "have the right" to turn away gay couples. During the protest the Conservatives supplied free icecream for the protestors.
