  1. @77nn la questione non è #smartphone sì/no. La questione è essere obbligati ad usare sistemi #proprietari, #non-standard, legandosi mani e piedi ad uno ed uno solo fornitore. Straniero, per di più!
    Sono critico anche sulla #CIE perché abolito lo #SPID diventerà un unico enorme #SingoloPuntoDiRottura (#SinglePointOfFailure): se #CIE si ferma si ferma l'intera nazione!

  2. @thearcanecomposer sure - it all started with a presidential candidate #RonaldReagan receiving a very large contribution from a company named #Microsoft producing an operating system. In return he enacted software #patents that caused widespread #monoculture known to be vulnerable to #SinglePointOfFailure. To protect the fragile system another company named #CrowdStrike #CRWD created monitoring software that was deployed to all endpoints across the world, running with administrative permission, collecting all signals to a centralized database.

    One day said company made a silly mistake, that only affected this particular operating system's ability to boot. For a brief moment the western world shut down. Politicians across the world were appalled by the incompetence of people in #InformationTechnology but concluded there was nothing to do about it.

    I was going to ask if you were referring to YKK, that company that seems to make almost all of the world's zippers.

    You're talking about something else, but I wonder...

    What other #bottlenecks or #SinglePointOfFailure's are there? The cables on the ocean floor that carry internet signals: I think there are only three or four, right? Or there is an underwater rock formation of the west coast of Africa that's waiting to break and create a tsunami.
