Link to tor project (they made the icon I grabbed, and tor itself of course): https://www.torproject.org/

This is a community to discuss the tor project and your experience with tor, tor browser, etc.

Rules are generally: be nice, don't be bigoted, etc.

Only seems fair that an infosec instance should have a community about one of the most well known anonymity tools :)

Apple users get hit harder w/dynamic pricing. Could this be another carrot to get ppl on Tor? (lemmy.sdf.org)

Just heard a radio interview where a dynamic pricing expert said some online shops detect a Safari browser and assume Apple users have deeper pockets. The algo positions higher priced items to the top of the page and perhaps shows them higher prices as those on non-Apple platforms.

So of course I’m thinking: this is perhaps a good reason to get more folks using Tor. If you cannot sell the idea of privacy, maybe money savings would sway them.

Tor users are fucked by tor-hostility, but that marginalisation is only possible because we are a small demographic. We need to be a bigger demographic.

B&M shops also implement dynamic pricing. So we must wonder if they grab MAC addresses as people enter and adjust cat food prices based on proportion of MAC addresses from customers in the Apple ranges.
