So I'm probably going to be nerd sniped into developing a Jupyter notebook to examine the question of how well are mid income families 2 adults and 2 kids doing relative to how well their parents were doing 30 years earlier. I'm going to use a dirichlet prior over the weights on a 5 item CPI based expense index. The missing part is paired nominal earnings of people and their parents... Anyone know a dataset @economics@a.gup.pe

Yes OK, does it concern the suspects or the themselves and how would they like to be taken seriously?

After setting up app tracking protection on my phone a couple of days ago, I can see thousands of blocked tracking attempts across so many apps, including ones that aren't in use.

I don't use Facebook or Google, but they seem to insert themselves into everything to get their sticky mitts on #data.

Want to check duplicate values across columns of a data.frame? Well you can do that in a basic way with TidyDensity and the check_duplicate_rows() function, or you can go through todays blog post for some other ideas with #BaseR #dplyr and #datatable

I know some fediverse apps use various text/image detection technologies, so I was curious if this encourages the use of alt text.

The main thing I learned: Out of nearly 30,000 fediverse posts I looked at, almost 80% did not have information about the client app.

That was a bit surprising. And it makes doing this sort of analysis difficult.

You can still see some trends, for example, people who use Ivory for iOS posted 49% of their images with alt text, compared to Mastodon's 17.8% for Android and 20% for iOS users.

But I am not sure if there is enough data to draw solid conclusions.

New from me: Menstruation-tracking apps leak users' to advertisers & law enforcement, especially post-Roe v. Wade in the US. To address these apps, I recommend data decommodification, which requires data be collected only to provide the service (ie., period tracking) but not be repurposed toward other activities (like advertising).
