Workers' Cafe

I propose we start some form of workers’ mutual education society - I am calling it “workers’ cafe”

Heres a proof of concept for a session I am planning to have with a fellow computer worker.

# Workers' Memo

## Cypress Installation

> Installation **<span style="color:red">Failed</span>** in GUIX OS, probably due to lack of dependencies 

In Windows 10, just following the standard instructions were not enough. The following had to be executed.
```powershell
.\node_modules\.bin\cypress.cmd install --force
$env:NODE_OPTIONS="--openssl-legacy-provider" 
```
> Assignment of $env from command-line 
> probaly would only work if terminal is run as Administrator.
> An alternative is to use the GUI to permanently modify environmental variable
> ```Powershell
> rundll32.exe sysdm.cpl,EditEnvironmentVariables.
> ```

This is sort of like Agaric’s Show and Tell (which has been on hiatus for a while) and my idea for the 24/7 Coffee Shop on CommunityBridge is similar. I am trying to offer a way for anyone to take the room as Admin and host a skillsharing type event whenever they want to. If you want to take it over and do your thing… Excellent, I will be happy to help with any logistics. I think being able to screen share your terminal and having the multi-user whiteboard will be useful.

Hi Micky,

Yes, I saw your ‘Coffee Shop’ last week and thought about the same thing!!

On Feb 4, we are trying our first meetup at the worker-coop incubation center of JWCU (but we are not formerly affiliated with them, at least not yet ) in Tokyo.

The idea is simple - workers ought to care about their work and strive to be better at it all the time (minus the part that we have no control over - the management dictatorship should be given some slack by recognizing they are stuck in the stale old economy we will be walking away from sooner or later ) . While the employer-class may free-ride on this process (and they are welcome to do so - nothing wrong with employees becoming more valuable commanding higher wages ) , the real benefit of our effort will be so that workers will form strong mutual bonding and create impetus for future worker coops!!

Let’s talk tomorrow if I manage to get up early and we have time during Agaric Show and Tell!
