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 .

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 and

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).

If you take the population and divide by the rate of housing starts per year, you get a quantity in dimensions of time and units of years. This quantity roughly speaking is related to the "longevity of a dwelling" you need to have in order for the housing per person that's available not to decline. So if real longevity of houses is more or less a constant, then when this graph is high housing availability is declining, and when it's low it's growing... There's a reason millennials feel cheated

Dagnab it, I am constantly wishing I had more text in my messages and forgetting to tag stuff in my first post. This message is just to tag @economics@a.gup.pe and some hash tags #economics #housing #data #statistics

This discussion is about housing longevity and the adequate production rate of housing starts to keep housing from becoming scarce. There's a graph in the first post that shows very interesting dynamics.
