+If the ICT industry was purposefully following an harmful agenda, these would
+probably be their design principles: disregard for life, disregard for the
+chips, more is better, assume limitless resources, keep it controlled,
+outsource the problem, amplify ignorance, obfuscate everything, destroy
+communities, achieve monopoly
+
+While this is rarely discussed in such a way, there are however increasingly
+well documented issues in the dominant computational cultural that all together
+help better understand how such harmful agenda can emerge explicitely or
+implicitely.

+* inaccessible: greenwashing, Californian ideology, pseudosimplicity, otherness
+* incompatible: vendor lock-in, proprietary
+* inefficient: bloat, maximalism, cryptocurrency, calculation factory,
+ cornucopianism
+* rigid: monoculture, siliconization
+* failing: silver bullet, planned obsolescence, wishcycling, software rot
+* extractivist: attention economy, capitalism, Big Tech, neoliberalism
