<p>Hi all,</p> <p>I've recently had some questions about what tool to use for note taking during taskforce meetings, personally I've been using hedgedoc from <a href="http://social.coop/" rel="nofollow ugc">social.coop</a>, but it's a private instance and you need an invited account. I've also used hackmd in the past. I've seen other taskforces use Google Docs, and I think one even used CryptPad.</p> <p>Officially the W3C way of scribing meetings is via an IRC bot: <a href="https://www.w3.org/2006/tools/wiki/WebExBestPractices#Meeting_Record_(Minutes)" rel="nofollow ugc">https://www.w3.org/2006/tools/wiki/WebExBestPractices#Meeting_Record_(Minutes)</a></p>

Modernity is a conspiracy to replace 'thick' desires (community, craft, transcendence) with 'thin' desires (likes, sugar, dopamine). Revolt by doing something slow. Bake bread. Write a letter. Code a tool for just one person.

Today was the first time I had to deal with #workslop from a colleague. His task was to write a narrative final report for a small production grant that I received and he managed. He produced something that I'd be embarrassed to present, so I spent the past 3 hours rewriting it.
I'm reminded of what I heard 
@emilymbenderProf. Emily M. Bender(she/her) say: the only use of AI is to indicate resource constraints in your org. This person lost his father recently, so he used AI to produce the report because he was stressed.

What is a package manager? Perhaps quite a few more components than you might think: https://nesbitt.io/2025/12/02/what-is-a-package-manager.html

"Not all build systems are created equal. If you're hoping to use a build system from the '90s, especially if you're hoping to overlay the limitations of 2 or more build systems (like automake+cargo) and expect to solve them simultaneously, then be mindful that your expectations are set accordingly and seek sympathy from those who have imposed the same approach on themselves."
