There are two problems in computer science:

1. We could do this better
2. We should not do this at all

Hi folks,

@coopcloud community members made a new Matrix channel for folks looking to start new tech co-ops. Soon to be a Matrix space.

Feel free to come say hi:
matrix.to/#/%23techcoop:autono

Autonomic gets a lot of people asking if we need new members. We're going to direct them here now to see if they can find networks online to approach starting their own co-ops.

@debian

I'd love to see a pledge from Debian to keep AI out of develepont.

Is that something we can consider?

In most ways, it seems like the antithesis of Debian to hand it over to robots.

At least for the foreseeable future.

This notion that we need to ask what teachers are able to DO with their time (not just say "let's shave time off teaching") is such a crystal clear point and one that is resonating across multiple worlds, from technology teams through classrooms, it doesn't surprise me at all as someone who's been a behavioral scientist in BOTH domains. "time savings" is always the bullshit way to talk about interventions
