Hollow marketing
This seems to be an opinion piece written by the people involved about their grading tool and their courses and certifications.
And their grading tool counts every website proxied through CloudFlare as green while it counts Hetzner's hydropower datacenter in Finland as coal.
But mostly, it seems they want to start selling courses and certifications for green software. The entire idea seems weird to me, because they're arguing about superficial effects like reducing unused JavaScript while blissfully ignoring the elephant in the room, which would be ad auctions.
- Animats 3y ago> Hollow marketing Agreed. Note the total absence of real fixes: - Don't use more than one tracker on a web page. Watch your page load and see what you're loading. - Don't load a large number of CSS and Javascript files. Don't use a tool that creates them. Again, watch your page load and see what's loading. - If you really think you really need statistical data on who clicks where, collect it for maybe 1% of users, chosen at random.
- marginalia_nu 3y agoThe number of CSS and Javascript files doesn't really have much of an impact on how much resources a website uses. It's mostly a logistical decision. You can build a wasteful website with one (or zero) of them, and a slim one with dozens of js and css-files. There is a weak accidental correlation between these two things, but it's not necessary.
