Honestly, what the fuck is this gibberish?

Przeczytałem taki opis mechanizmów moderacji mastodona w książce AI Snake Oil, Arvinda Narayanana i Sayasha Kapoora. Co myślicie?

[...] The [Mastodon] servers all talk to each other, so users can follow others on any server, but content moderation policy and enforcement is on a per-server basis.

The decentralization of moderation combined with the unification of content results in an inescapable tension: a server has no recourse against users who violate its policies if they are on another server—except to block that server outright (blocking individual users doesn’t scale). Subreddits don’t have this problem because communities are distinct. And the traditional platforms don’t have this problem because moderation is centralized. In many ways, Mastodon’s content moderation is the worst of both worlds.

@tazgetroete Da ist teilweise #SnakeOil bei und es ist leider auch absolut vorhersehbar, dass selbst die nutzbaren Methoden für das Gegenteil missbraucht werden.

Die fossile Industrie wird argumentieren, dass ihre Emissionen ja durch Kohlenstoffentnahme ausgeglichen werden könnten. Die Politik wird freudigst darauf einsteigen und erst im Nachhinein wird dann die Zivilgesellschaft beim Nachrechnen feststellen, dass das Versprechen nicht aufgeht.

Wir kommen nicht um die Einsicht herum, dass wir ein nicht zu gewinnendes Uphill-Battle führen, solange wir schon einmal endgültig weggespeichertes CO2 wieder an die Oberfläche holen und in die Atmosphäre entlassen. Das muss aufhören.

Und dann braucht es, selbst mit einer Kohlenstoff-negativen Wirtschaftsweise einfach sehr sehr viel Zeit, bis die Folgen von 200 Jahren Misswirtschaft wieder beseitigt sein werden.

Die schnelle, bequeme technische Lösung ohne Lebensstiländerung und ohne nachhaltiges Wirtschaften gibt es nicht.

Senator Endorses Discredited Doctor’s Book On A Chemical He Claims Treats Everything From Autism To Cancer

Happened to spot this on a store shelf. Knowing how difficult fungal infections are to treat (don't ask) I thought I'd glance at the Active Ingredients. Ha. There aren't any AND the back of the box includes a line that "cancels out" all the claims on the front. Why are they allowed to sell junk like this? #Bullshit #Pseudoscience #SnakeOil

@itsecnews

Mit anderen Worten: solche "#Sicherheitssoftware" macht den Angriff überhaupt erst möglich.

Somehow, this is still a thing:

OK you fuckers at #barracuda, not only to you always screw around with mit API URIs in technical emails by echanging the URIs with linkprotect #bullshit, but you now also break my email signatures! Fuck you and your stupid #security #snakeoil.

Why are crackpots attracted to the topics of the strictly regulated fields of engineering, medicine, law, and academia?

Good luck convincing #RFKJr followers to turn to real science and therapies instead of #SnakeOil. #Autisim youtu.be/BBwTmoCU-xw?...

🚀✨ "Vibe coding": the new snake oil for wannabe tech moguls who think they can build a billion-dollar empire by doodling on a napkin. 🤡💸 Spoiler alert: You'll need more than just "good vibes" and a catchy guestbook plea to make it big. Reality check, anyone? 📉🤣
