Linux For Everyone (linux4everyone@fosstodon.org)'s status on Friday, 12-May-2023 21:44:04 JST Linux For Everyone
Behind the simple interfaces of the websites we visit everyday, lies a complex web of code and exploitation.
Researcher Joanna Moll uncovered the hidden cost of ONE user buying ONE book on Amazon:
-1,307 different requests to various scripts (mostly used for tracking and profiling you)
-This totals 8,724 A4 pages worth of printed code
-The amount of energy needed to load up all that garbage: 30 Wh.
