Dear members and friends of ipernity, 1. Picture-in-picture (PiPs) in lightbox. The full screen 'Lightbox view [z]' now displays PiPs. It does not allow you to edit your own PiPs, but the feature is designed to help you be aware of PiPs when viewing other people's photos.

So bereist habe ich die Welt schon früh, zwar ohne Internet, aber das Fernsehen hat mir die Welt ganz selbstverständlich nach Hause gebracht.
