The Epstein Class has been in power since the Founding Fathers[1], so I’m not holding my breath.

Bots together strong.

So many downvotes. Some people don’t like how this keeps happening.

I’d also like to know. Sellers can know when you’re using a popular VPN service or have DeGoogled, but I don’t know how they may use that information. Perhaps they’ll try to punish you into submission by jacking prices to the moon or refusing to serve their website altogether. Reddit and some other sites already block VPNs.

There will never be a silver bullet, because this will be an endless arms race between sellers and savvy consumers.

Yes, of course. But that’s upstream from this research. The data would have existed regardless.

FYI OP, your post to !world@lemmy.world was reported by four people so far for changing the article’s title. Their mods will almost definitely delete it. Please save yourself & us the hassle by following the rules of the communities you post to.

I don’t think this guy has hacked surveillance pricing in ways that are practicably replicable, but his video has piqued my curiosity.

Edit to add: There doesn’t seem to be much in the way of evidence-based, practical advice currently, except to shop in physical stores and to comparison shop. https://www.kqed.org/news/12088157/surveillance-pricing-is-making-life-more-expensive-heres-how-it-works-and-what-you-can-do

If you really want to know, you’d need to get a copy of the paper.

University research on human subjects follow a number of elaborate privacy rules, including those of the Federal Policy for the Protection of Human Subjects. Researchers aren’t interested in our individual data; they’re interested in our data in aggregate for statistical analysis.

You are very confused. These kinds of studies have been common since at least the 1940s.

United Nations, 2019: Helping 800 million people escape poverty was greatest such effort in history, says Secretary-General, on 70th anniversary of China’s founding

oh these poor people just snapped out of hatred for capitalism

This is like the silly rationalization some religious people have for atheists, that we’re just angry at god.

Anime characters & zoomers use the T pose to assert dominance, while tradespeople show their ass crack.

I have no idea what the cost, efficacy, or availability of this product is. https://hydrocell.fi/en/air-cleaners-carbon-dioxide-filters-and-dac-appliances/uniqfresh-air-cleaners/

The only maintenance required is changing of the activated-carbon filter every six months, and replacement of the HEPA filter every five years. In normal use, the carbon dioxide filter cassette has a lifetime of at least 15 years.

Effects of indoor plants on CO2 concentration, indoor air temperature and relative humidity in office buildings

We examined the impact of indoor plants on air quality parameters in office environments, focusing on relative humidity, indoor air temperature, and CO2 concentration. Our findings demonstrated that, while indoor plants significantly increase relative humidity, they had a negligible effect on indoor air temperature and CO2 concentration in the offices we sampled. This suggests that while plants can enhance comfort in dry indoor environments, their role in regulating temperature and CO2 levels is limited.

I guess I’d need to invest in a CO₂ scrubber.

I think/hope this is a good piece for those whose minds need a few things spelled out for them in order to expand beyond their personal, colloquial experience.

My first time reading about dialectical/historical materialism was a funny experience, now that I think about it. It was mostly spelling out my own understanding of the world to me. I could have saved a lot of time if I’d read them decades ago instead of reinventing the wheel.

Fediverse graybeards always knew how Bluesky (and Threads) would play out. We know multi-billionaire Jack Dorsey belongs to the big club that you ain’t in.
