I teach, tutor, & write about tech, with an emphasis on FOSS.

Sometimes I also dabble in coding, design, accessibility, & data analytics.

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

🇩🇰 Minister is phasing out Microsoft in the Ministry of Digitalization

「 Digitalization Minister Caroline Stage will begin phasing out Microsoft from her ministry starting next month. The plan is for about half of the employees to start working with computers running a version of #Linux instead of Windows and using #LibreOffice instead of Office 365 over the summer. If all goes as expected, the entire ministry will be free from Microsoft by autumn 」
