Although I have remained sceptical of Scrum, I do find it a bit strange that many of the negative comments about Scum here seems to be related to not doing Scrum (The old, you are not doing Scrum properly). All the talk about managers, and being told what to do in a sprint etc. None of that sounds like Scrum to me. Isn’t the whole idea of Scrum about self organising teams (?), independent of management etc. All you have is a Scrum Master to facilitate the process, and a Product Owner (part of the team) who prioritises the backlog because that role has an understanding of what is needed to solve the problem at hand (in terms of functionality needed).

This! Like much else, these kind of movements (FOSS etc.) depends on having good “institutions” that work. In this case e.g. the documentation project and similar. They are fundamental building blocks ...

Google needs to be split up and shut down. Why aren’t the American authorities using the antitrust laws that is already there?

Why don’t people use their power as consumers and stop shopping there? I have never understood why people let large companies walk all over them. Get organised and get even!

Decentralised or distributed does not necessarily imply blockchain just because the blockchain has these features it could also be other things such as activitypub etc...

True that the text doesn’t say this, but several of the privacy authorities in the different jurisdictions in Europe have been stating this publicly in interviews. The last one I saw was the ICO in the UK today on BBC Click saying exactly this...

It sounds like the future to me... as currencies, not as investment objects... the similarities with our current national currencies is eerie.

Seriously? Isn’t that a very dystopian view of the future?
