Bright ≠ dark net

24 things in my dark net:

From the errors of others, a wise man corrects his own — Publilius Syrus

1. CEO's obsessed with numbers or concepts like UBI, because mimetic rivalries makes them see their ruin before their eyes and it becomes harder to maximise the American Dream. A minimum wage leading to higher levels of unemployment
2. Hosting providers not offering https by default and forcing cookies for static content
3. The fact zero-error execution environments only exist when life is engaged (or threatened)
4. Sales people working on Office 365 and only there for money
5. Signup without having the option to try, absence of "opt-out in one click" for marketing
6. Bullshit bingo such as spam, PUPs, forcing triple play offers, GDPR, fake news & profiles, forcing eligibility of the social accounts to address advanced AI bot swarms taking over, gossips, buzz, noise, whatever you would like to call it. One of my least favorite quote is: "Systems are islands of ordered relations upon an ocean of noise" — Weissman and Adkins… An alternative consists in “Focusing on signal over noise.” — Elon Musk
7. Programmed obsolescence for OS, abuses of practices for airfare & hotels fixing their prices like in Wall Street, lifetime licence for software which suddenly became yearly licence
8. Pop-up/lightbox/legal "got it" awful and useless disclaimers. I literally can't stand the EU cookie law (ePrivacy Directive), Oracle's JS interdependence & tracking harassment
9. Ticket Management System considering issues are solved when it's not the case & authentification/tokens which should be replaced by smart recognition and stop logging us out every 10 minutes
10. Monetising customer data without their acceptance (sounds as unethical as the UE financing the migrant smuggling)
11. Satisfaction enquiries with employee's names (I left Apple when they reminded me the sad Dehomag's tabulating machines episode)
12. Out-of-date In-App Browsers, misinterpretation of the semantic between mobile and desktop browsers, caching problems, constant High CPU usage…
13. Rivalry between economists supporting lateral power and vertical economies
14. Amount of restrictions and regulations holding back a real progress in our lives (for instance: QR codes for Covid that are restricted by countries)
15. Global surveillance These programs were never about terrorism: they're about economic spying, social control, and diplomatic manipulation. They're about power. — Edward Snowden
16. Release bugs in systems, languages or softwares without applying beta testing or quality control
17. Automated solutions for webmastering (like Wix or Wordpress) killing H2H relationships
18. Online dating apps which do not even use interoperability in the relevance of their algorithms regarding API's
19. Top-notch designers not respecting any standards
20. Absence of hyperlinks for opening applications
21. Absence of encryption on TCP/IP (which brings IP & ARP Spoofing, Port Scanning, DDos/mitM/ICMP attacks…)
22. WIFI networks not working with Airplane mode
23. Ubiquitous hacker drones or streaming cameras will bring the end of privacy, petty crime, police brutality, and eventually, shame
24. Deepfakes plausibility for video, which won't be the Alpha (Α) and omega (Ω) of proof anymore (just like photos that can be retouched).
