Flickr is back, y'all. The premier photo service of yore just received a very pretty, next-level redesign that aggressively touts high-definition photos front and center.

In addition to the aesthetic facelift — which eliminates a lot of the wasteful white space that used to drape the website — Flickr users now get an unprecedented 1 terabyte of photo space for the ultra-competitive price of absolutely free. (!!!) That works out to about 500,000 high-res selfies at 7MB each.
