Just realised that on Mastodon, boosting *is* the algorithm.

There's no code trying to cleverly show me stuff it reckons I'd be into, based on what my contacts are into, instead my contacts are saying "I like this, I bet my contacts would like it too" and that is way smarter than any algorithm.

Thank you, boosters!

Yes, but it is also what Windows users were taught to do for decades. Need to join a video conference for work a school? Download this exe. Have a problem with your graphics card? Search, download, install. Previously trustworthy sites started hosting questionable software. Regular people can't keep up with this shit.

And the Microsoft store (or the Apple app store) were never really a thing on the desktop. Users and publisher never fully made the switch

And the greatest joke is that there are malware removal tools, which pretend to make a system trustworthy again. for
What a trade.

What came to my mind on a :

Quite sad if you doublethink about it.

Hiscore lowscore underscore so many scores

@falken I think about the implications on the social credit system in . Can it be hacked the same way?

Like: Oh I have a bad score for that insurance, maybe I pay a score manager to improve my score first.

I learned that is a new trend in singapur, where owners are too lazy to do the workout so they get a "jockey" who does the running for them. For money ofc.

Why would you pay for someone to run for you?

"The European Union's Digital Markets Act has pushed Apple to allow developers to offer apps through third-party marketplaces and websites. Apple says explicitly that the DMA compromises its ability to "detect, prevent, and take action against malicious apps."

The major CrowdStrike failure that affected Windows PCs highlights some of the unintended consequences and the tradeoffs inherent in legislation that weakens security in the name of open access. "

Oooh myy marketplace.

A security breach on your server farm and the first result when searching for "ssh host key changed" is a security nightmare.

It says: just ignore the ssh host key validation error and accept that your host is now spoofed ***with this aweseome single line of code***.

What a mess
