This year the assessment was all about Future of work. Students had to pick one of 4 challenges to design for and research:
1. worker-centred gig economy
2. inclusive work environments for neurodiversity
3. managing work-life balance for working students
4. designing transparent & ethical bossware

Once it gets to a consequential size (already? soon?) we will see spam, disinfo campaigns, harassment, and all the other ailments hit this platform. Is the team going to be ready?
Over a million new Bluesky accounts were created yesterday. Unsurprisingly, some fakes are popping up here and there, such as this set of nine accounts with identical biographies and repeated banner images.

As a jr academic who researches tech, work, and health, the other site has always been an occupational hazard post-musk.
I'll continue parallel existence but, unlike alternatives, the #bluesky UX makes me feel optimistic of migration.
