> Because they're not idiots?

Corporations are simultaneously sophisticated and idiots. Sometimes the output of sophisticated compliance pipeline is plainly idiotic.

Since like forever, 1600 EUR net monthly is a good salary in Italy. Hahaha, I'm joking - you'll never get indefinite employment contract in Italy. This can explain the invasion of Italian guys to post-Communist countries. In addition to earning slightly more, they're fucking their brains out there. In exchange we can visit Italy in summer, see their old people, be robbed in cafes, restaurants, hotels, or literally be robbed... quite miserable exchange.

Scanning some articles and photos in them, it feels like a massive dystopian cyber scam.

Millennials are wrecked by employment and real estate markets, give them 30 over 30 list... but then probably the list will be filled with boomers...

Yes, I said that Russian intelligence activity cannot be excluded.

They are likely honeypots of BND, of whole range of legal trolls, as well activity of Russian intelligence is possible.

I have a strong impression this is a case also on Tinder, Bumble, and Badoo.

The neverending story of Germans fighting with the internet, led by copyright predators. In case you want to contribute to the good side, stay away from UG and GmbH service providers, and those with headquarters in Germany. Don't try to trivialize or underestimate their malicious attempts.

I thought that only in my country the banks' "security" turned fucking retarded but it seems it's a global trend. Recently I received legit email from my bank with warning against scammers and the title was "The first step of the scammer will be will be sending an email, text message, or calling you". Is it a double intelligence test or they just admitted to being scammers?

The marketing will eventually sneak into every guaranteed channel of customer attention. That's why no app is sending me notifications.

Banks are awful enough with software, I don't want any hardware from them. Increasingly mobile apps are becoming first class citizen for online banking, web browsers second class. There doesn't exist reliable non-infuriating workflow with physical security key and a smartphone.

But everyone wants to work on geodiversified autoscaling superclusters. It starts with watching a presentation on AWS or Azure on YouTube, or even innocent Medium article.

At least some troll farms were run by Prigozhin, an oligarch. Then there is intense domestic propaganda directed at domestic population.

What's equally fascinating is how they manage to brainwash and agitate so many people to kill each other, from their remote estates in Dubai, Spain, Italy, France, and from yachts in the open sea. Many countries can be called "rich country of poor people" but Russia, Belarus, Ukraine indisputably beat all competition.

Funny how looking from local perspective the fortunes are opaque but globally it's quite evident whose money move around.

> It's just tragic how little we actually care today for end user experience, despite all the pretending.

Most modern frameworks, languages, and concepts are developed and owned by ad companies. Then we take these and build critical stuff with it. Then they use it as a leverage to expand into industries where their stuff is used. There are some UX folks here and there but they're more happy to work on something "engaging" and "addicting".

When something goes wrong, they will collectively cover each other. When something goes catastrophically wrong, the public will learn about it and say "how it could function like that?!". Alternatively they will use the opportunity to get rid of someone unwanted. Healthcare professionals are awfully slimy and corrupted.
