Vassil Nikolov | Васил НиколовThere are always tradeoffs.
The art of the tradeoff here is reducing problemicity while getting priorities reasonably straight.
And yes, determining the right value of reasonably is a big part of that art.

> the entire theory that markets should be allowed to make decisions (instead of people in the form of government intervening with a heavy hand)
... is indeed imperfect, but getting _governments_ to make good decisions is _very_ hard.
Typically they do no better than markets (and some much worse) _unless_ the people are smart and energetic enough to exert constant pressure on said governments and _that_ is a rarity.
My (not so humble) opinion, of course.

"the more 'communist' the sharing license used in digital commons, the more capitalist the practice" (Michel Bauwens)
Reminder of how (A)GPL/SSPL licenses paradoxically foster companies via dual-licensing.
Soon I will share solutions to this 🩷

New McDonald's study attempts to water down EU ambition on reuse | Break Free From Plastic
Today, the fast-food corporation McDonald’s released the “No Silver Bullet” campaign, based on a study they commissioned about consumer-facing packaging in the European informal eating out (IEO) sector. Unsurprisingly, their study uses unclear data and assumptions to undermine the essential role that reusable products and systems have in solving the plastic pollution crisis.
James Edward@Kanekotic I think many of the (good) lessons from #agile software development did not transfer well to the wider domain of #project delivery.
