That’s been my experience every time I’ve worked on a team that does scrum. I find the standup is largely useless because you’re not supposed to go into details, but you kind of have to in order to explain what you’re doing. So naturally people give longer updates and the meeting drags on.

I find it’s much more productive to just meet weekly to checkpoint to see where everyone is at and decide on what tasks you want to get done this week. Then just let people organize on their own as the need arises.

I also find that scrum encourages short term thinking. Some tasks need planning and coordination, other times you start working on a task and realize that some other code needs refactoring to accommodate it.

When you have the mindset that you’re only thinking of getting the scrum card finished, you end up just hacking your way around underlying issues instead of fixing them. And the whole project just turns into a ball of mud where stuff just accretes without any vision for what the bigger picture should look like.

Counterpoint, eating a single billionaire would do more to reduce emissions than lifetime of veganism.

Unfortunately, a lot of people don’t think about the root causes of these problems. So there’s a lot of focus on the symptoms without thinking about the underlying dynamics of capitalism that cause these issues.

The fact that you think US government doesn’t do these things says a lot about the effectiveness of western brainwashing.

The only thing exhausting is people using whataboutism to make false equivalents and avoid genuine discussion. People are subjected to orders of magnitude more US propaganda than Russian propaganda, and it clearly has a much greater effect on public opinion. Thanks to people being indoctrinated into US propaganda, they dismiss legitimate problems as fictional Russian propaganda. The fact that you can’t comprehend this illustrates the problem perfectly.

Not what I said though was it? What I said was that people in the west are subjected to orders of magnitude of western propaganda, and perhaps should worry about that first. Russian media is even banned in most of Europe at this point. Chomsky even pointed out recently that censorship in the west now is even worse than it was in USSR.

yogthos ,
@yogthos@lemmy.ml avatar

I’m capable of worrying about two things. Perhaps even three on a good day.

press x to doubt

Media being bad because capitalism pushes them to do evil to further their own ends is not the same thing as censorship enforced with state violence. These are both bad things, but uniquely bad in their own ways. I’m sad that Chomsky’s age has caught up to him and he can no longer distinguish the two.

It’s incredible that somebody could be so deplorably ignorant to think that US doesn’t enforce censorship with state violence. US tortured Manning and is currently having UK torture Assange for revealing US war crimes. Chapter 10 in this book gives lots of examples of political repression in US where activists have been harassed, arrested, and even assassinated by the state archive.org/…/DemocracyForTheFew16147062951821

The only thing you should be sad about is your own ignorance. Maybe instead of claiming that Chomsky can’t distinguish things you should learn about what your regime actually does. Just a thought.

Every government is authoritarian by its very nature. The government derives authority from having monopoly on legalized violence. The only reason there is the illusion of freedom of speech is due to the fact that mainstream views are carefully curated. Any ideas that are seen as a threat are eliminated just as ruthlessly in the west as anywhere else. Entire books have been written on this subject.

Nobody is making anything up here. The reality is that state censorship in the west is no different from the countries you consider authoritarian, the only difference is that it’s dressed up in a way that’s palatable to western public. In fact, it could be argued that governments in places like China are simply more honest with their public. They’re explicit regarding what ideas they reject while the west uses sophistry to create an illusion of freedoms that don’t translate into anything tangible.

For goodness’ sake, can we not do this? I’m an anarchist, I know this. I oppose the state on a conceptual level for this very reason. I’m speaking to you like a normal person using language that I know you understood the intended meaning of. There’s no need to engage in academic fartsniffery here. Just be normal.

Meanwhile, I’m not an anarchist, and I do not oppose the state at a conceptual level. However, I do think that the state represents the interests of the class that controls power in society, and that western capitalist states fundamentally represent the interests of capitalists. So, when people talk about capitalist states having some sort of free speech for the oppressed working class, I find that surreal to be honest.

Any meaningful free speech translates into tangible action, and when that happens the state uses brutal methods to stomp it out. MLK and Fred Hampton are two prominent examples of what happens when people in US try to exercise freedom of expression in a meaningful way.

The owners of our media have a vested interest in maintaining their own control. They are not compelled to act by outside force, they largely act of their own free will to maintain their position in our corrupt system.

They are the capitalist class who built the system to serve their own interests. The owners of the media are not compelled by force because they are the people whom the state represents. The state is a management bureaucracy for resolving the differences between capitalists in a civilized way.

Understanding this distinction is crucial to being able to fix it.

What’s crucial for fixing anything is understanding the nature of the state and whom it serves. Your comment makes it pretty clear that you lacking this understanding.

I think you’re thinking of markets, but those aren’t exclusive to capitalism. For example, you could have a private sector economy delivering nice to have goods that’s organized using cooperative ownership. The cooperatives can compete with each other the same way capitalist companies do without the problems associated with capital concentration. Meanwhile, I completely agree with you that anything that’s essential should be provided by the public sector and profit should not be a consideration there.

The fact that you think you countered it with logic really highlights the fact that you’re not very good at logical thought. The fact that westerners are racist doesn’t preclude them from hating other systems such as USSR for other reasons. The fact that you don’t understand this shows you lack any capacity for logic. You keep pretending racism isn’t the reason westerners hate China, but the fact is well documented. So in addition to not being capable of understanding basic logic, you’re either a liar or just deplorably ignorant.

Maybe next time you try to pretend to be intelligent do it on a topic you have clue about.

The west hasn’t been much better. There was an actual article in WaPo that flat out said that the west knew that Ukraine didn’t have enough equipment to do the offensive, but pushed them into it anyways because they thought their motivation and gumption would make up for it:

When Ukraine launched its big counteroffensive this spring, Western military officials knew Kyiv didn’t have all the training or weapons—from shells to warplanes—that it needed to dislodge Russian forces. But they hoped Ukrainian courage and resourcefulness would carry the day.

This is not how you fight a war.
