  • Skiff, the private email provider has been acquired by Notion. It is set to shut down its services after 6 months.

  • Their generous offering of 10gigabytes of free storage along with a private, ad-free, end-to-end encrypted experience always sounded too good to be true. There was no way they could sustain that business model long term. At least they're giving users enough time to jump ship and have not sold their data to Notion (judging by their twitter replies).

  • Ecosia plants 200 million trees

  • they don’t “plant trees” but rather contribute very little amounts to existing programmes

    Ofcourse they don't plant trees themselves, it's a search engine with a small team. They donate their entire profit which averages upwards of a million euros every month, to local tree planting initiatives across the world and that isn't a 'little' number at all.

    “Every search plants a tree” is a lie. It’s not every search, but rather every couple clicks on an ad

    I agree, they were 'a bit' misleading with that in the past. Although they did state in their tree counter earlier and somewhere in their website/blog that it was roughly 45 searches (in Germany, depends on region) which raised enough money to plant a tree. They've since removed most, if not all of the misinformation.

    They use Bing results making them useless

    Since when does using Bing results make a search engine a 'scam'? DuckDuckGo also uses Bing results, would you call that a scam as well? Ecosia uses Bing search results because it's close to impossible to make an independent search engine which gives satisfactory results without the resources of a tech giant.

  • It's so ridiculous when corporations steal everyone's work for their own profit, no one bats an eye but when a group of individuals do the same to make education and knowledge free for everyone it's somehow illegal, unethical, immoral and what not.

  • Over 50 per cent of users may shun social media by 2025 as misinformation, toxicity grow

  • Under the same umbrella, instagram is dead unless you're selling something.

    Instagram is far from dead. It is quite popular in South Asia and actually the social media of choice for many teens.

  • What's a cool website you’ve visited that no one seems to know of?

    Jump

  • All of the games ever played on lichess along with puzzles, evaluations etc are also open and free to download at database.lichess.org

    The site's founder and lead developer Thibault also often streams the development of the site on his Twitch channel!

    I'm honestly suprised sometimes at how free, open and transparent this site is, truly an inspiration for anyone looking to build an ethical platform.

  • What is a website everyone should know about?
