Lappland is a part of Norrland, but both of these terms are used in a historical sense as cultural/geographical regions, and nowadays replaced by counties

Username checks out. :-)

Thanks for sharing, haven't heard about this organization before but happy to support them now.

It was founded by Max Schrems, whom some of you might now for his lawsuits against Facebook a few years back, which ended the EU-US Safe Harbour and Privacy Shield data trade agreements.

It's mainly EU-centric which might be the reason why people here haven't heard of it before.

It's incredible what one dedicated man can accomplish through the court system. Makes me wonder what the world would be like if we just spent a little time educating our children about their digital rights in school.

That's what i liked about it, it says on the page that: "Greenhouse gas emissions account for the entire lifecycle, including vehicle production and battery production, supply chains raw materials."

(And is possible to change in the "Customize" tab)

ah gotcha, thanks!

Thanks for sharing!

The 5G network in the south of Stockholm by 3 is with Huawei, ironically where Ericsson previously had their main office

Here's an article that's a bit more in-depth on the effects https://www.nature.com/articles/s41558-020-0797-x

Man that's a bad way to do it, and it makes me really sad. Couchsurfing has been awesome but this is probably good for the community long-term since the motives of a large part of the users and CS where wildly misaligned after becoming a for-profit corp. With the nail in the coffin hopefully this will lead to a migration to some platform run by the community itself. Trustroots seems like the best existing option right now for future development.

Trustroots has a nice map-based interface, but lacks references and meetups. BeWelcome is my preferred option, and is open-source and has excellent financial transparency.

I'm one of the developers working on Trustroots.

We're working on references :) I merged this PR yesterday https://github.com/Trustroots/trustroots/pull/1413, there is a bit more to work out for displaying them...

There is also a meetup feature already (see https://ideas.trustroots.org/2017/08/21/meeting-people-now-o...), it's a bit primitive right now, but it was a first iteration, and we've been discussing some next steps recently.

We are also open source! https://github.com/trustroots/ (with a node + react stack)

It's possible to export my data from CS. Would the Trustroots community be willing to have a CS data import option, for bringing in old CS references and friends?

You're welcome to join our team chat and we can discuss further (send me an email, address in profile, then I can invite you).

This is a big deal actually. From what I've heard, One of the reasons why Hospitality Club fell into decline, was that the code-base was closed source and the original developer was reluctant to let go of it.

The open source bit allows the ultimate step of forking the whole project, and that is important to me to be able to do that, but it's not a trivial step at all, and a lot of the usefulness is in the name recognition and the userbase.

But really, I want to contribute to the original project, and given I am not the original developer, it still relies on the them (and any other founders) to open up contributions. Fortunately, in this case, they have :)

Whats the size of the current userbase and how many off your users are active?

Looks great, thanks for creating this!

Thank you!
