Complaining about things is one, but fixing them myself is another
So I added a [ 🗽 Not woke ] filter to https://t.co/kSbsCmuvBO
"woke" is a bit of a cringe term now, but calling it "Not ESG" would be too difficult
I scraped ALL hotel chains and sites for stuff like "climate change", "sustainability", "ESG", "carbon neutral" and tagged all of them
So now you can AVOID hotels that:
- limit your AC to 25C/77F (common in Europe)
- skip cleaning you room altogether (last 2 hotels I stay in Europe now)
- have no amenities (again I just stayed in them), and other useless stuff that does nothing to save the world at all
- reduce shower pressure to save water so you can't clean yourself
- charge you extra for your CO2 emissions every day you stay (???)
In fact all of this does the direct opposite of make the world better: it makes everyone hate their stay, sweat and have bad sleep, and be grumpy and unproductive all day
Avoid them with my site Hotelist and make the world better! :D
I've spent years telling people the same thing. Don't upload your private photos to online metadata removers. You're handing your exact location and device details to a random server to protect your privacy.
So I built the tool I wanted. In fact, I built it for my loved ones.
It strips EXIF, GPS, camera and device info, timestamps, author names, edit history, and more from images, PDFs, Office docs, EPUBs, MP3s, and video. Everything runs locally in your browser. Nothing gets uploaded. No server, no account, no tracking.
After it cleans a file, it re-scans the result and shows you what came out and what's left. You don't take my word for it. You watch it happen.
It's opensource, and the build is reproducible, so what runs in your browser matches the code anyone can read.
