It's going to be ironic if forcing Google to divest Chrome ends up killing firefox. https://www.theatlantic.com/technology/archive/2024/11/let-google-keep-chrome/680747/

HCI colleagues:
Next semester I teach intro HCI/web design for sophomores. Because it's good practice and because it's robust to student use of LLMs, I want to increase the part of the grade earned via in-class/studio participation. But this can be stressful if "participation" is assessed with vaguely defined, potentially subjective criteria. So I'm looking for good rubrics that I can use to give the students a more concrete sense of what is expected of them. Please share what you have!
Folks, at #cscw2022 we will again be deploying our who2chat platform to help people---especially junior members of our community---make new connections with others. Synchronous online social gatherings will happen next Tuesday. I hope you can spare an hour to meet some new people and help them feel welcome.
Please take time to sign up *early* at https://who2chat.com/ , and encourage your students and advisors to do the same.

@fellowtraveler @farnaz@hci.social It's not about whether they *like* the content; it's about whether they believe it to be *accurate*. Which is an entirely different thing, and one the platforms don't let us do. Similarly, this work is based on differentiating people you *follow* (because they sometimes say interesting things) from people you *trust* (to have sound judgements about accuracy).

@skairam highlighted those seeing postdocs or offering?
I've built no reputation on Reddit; might be better for you to share?
