Since the usual arguments pro RE are being made: One of the main downsides of RE is
a) its need of fossil backup and b) profits of solar / wind goes into the pockets of its owners while
c) the costs of fossil backup and increased network capacities are to be borne by the general public so that
d) wealth is distributed from the bottom to the top whose
e) RE systems a being subsidized by the public too.
In conclusio, the bottom half pays for the profit of top earners who can afford to invest in RE. That’s the green „revolution“ for ya.
Thanks a lot! Photopea can do many things other editors can not do, e.g. opening a PDF in a PSD way (with editable text layers, vector shapes, clipping masks, bitmaps as smart objects etc.).
You can also use it to convert Gimp, Sketch, Figma, SVG and other formats to layered PSDs.
If you prefer reader mode, like I do, any Medium-based platform is a PITA cause all images are blurred. Anyone who is on a crappy connection will have them same. What a fuxxing shame! Can we stop using this crappy platform please?
Let’s, but really do you care about the images or are you there for the article content :) reader mode is nice to skip the silly “pardon the intrusion” or “sign up to our newsletter spam” modals, and i don’t think I’ve ever missed any photos or images when reading stuff like that. These days I tend to just avoid content on medium.
We have no evidence of that happening. Also Google themselves are on record saying that they don't use GA data for their search algorithm. I wrote a post on this topic: https://plausible.io/blog/google-analytics-seo
In theory, that shouldn't happen. The gist being, Google wants to make you (the person searching) happy. So much so, it wants to personalize its suggestions. That is, if you knew what Google knows, what would you recommend to you? :) The algorithm wants to be human. It wants to be you.
In fact, in that context, if you're a pro-privacy person then Google should - again in theory - be more prone to recommend privacy-respecting sites to you. True, that's counterintuitive given Google's biz model. However, that biz model breaks down even faster when people stop returning because they are unhappy w/ search results.
Put another way, it's only a matter of time before DDG and the like use the pro-privacy signal to move sites up the SERP. DDG already knows you probably prefer that, as that's why you use DDG. It certainly would be a helpful icon DDG could add to their SERPs.
Both the :has and the :contains selector (as in ul:has(> li:contains("Built")) ) were new to me. So thanks to the author for sharing that little trick!
I was using Ecosia for a number of weeks and did achieve some 80 planted trees over the course of that period.
However, I eventually was so frustrated over the poor search results that I did move back to DDG.
Ecosia‘s intentions might be noble and worth supporting, but I cannot really follow how one can stay with them when the overall experience is so poor.
I don’t even mind some possible privacy issues as noted above but it all comes down to being at least comparably good to Google and DDG. Which is sadly not the case with Ecosia.
