Computer Science Grads Struggle to Find Jobs in the A.I. Age
As companies like Amazon and Microsoft lay off workers and embrace A.I. coding tools, computer science graduates say they’re struggling to land tech jobs.

Drew a napkin #doodle while talking about how some workers these days mostly just copy-paste from #AI tools....
Why need a full keyboard when the “efficient, AI-empowered worker" (whatever that nonsense means) only needs like 4 buttons?

Am I Productive? Exploring the Experience of Remote Workers with Task Management Tools
As the world continues to change, more and more knowledge workers are embracing remote work. Yet this comes with its challenges for their productivity, and while many Task Management applications promise to improve the productivity of remote workers, it remains unclear how effective they are. Based on existing frameworks, this study investigated the productivity needs and challenges of remote knowledge workers and how they use Task Management tools. The research was conducted through a 2-week l…

Among college graduates ages 22-27, computer science and computer engineering majors face unemployment rates of 6.1% and 7.5%, respectively, over double the unemployment rate among recent biology and art history graduates, which is just 3%.

🚨 BREAKING: Hyundai Motors has paused 22 major U.S. projects, including a $4.3 billion EV battery plant in Georgia, after a massive ICE raid detained 475 workers — over 300 of whom were South Korean nationals. This isn’t just about immigration enforcement. It’s about America’s addiction to racism and how it’s driving away global allies. Hate has a high price tag — and the bill just landed.

I Can't Patch My OT Systems! A Look at CISA's KEVC Workarounds & Mitigations for OT
We examine the state of publicly available information about known exploitable vulnerabilities applicable to operational technology (OT) environments. Specifically, we analyze the Known Exploitable Vulnerabilities Catalog (KEVC) maintained by the US Department of Homeland Security Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) to assess whether currently available data is sufficient for effective and reliable remediation in OT settings. Our team analyzed all KEVC entries through July 2…

Jeg har fulgt Norsk Syndikalistisk Forbund en stund, og det fŸles som å stå på skuldrene til en lang kamp for ekte arbeiderkontroll og selvorganisering. NSF bærer historien til radikale arbeidere som siden 1916 har stått imot byråkrati, hierarkier og enhver form for politisk slippe-opp. Deres anarkosyndikalistiske tradisjon bygger på solidaritet nedenfra og direkte aksjon, noe jeg virkelig verdsetter.
I dag kan de virke små og marginale i det politiske landskapet, men for meg er de for…

VR as a "Drop-In" Well-being Tool for Knowledge Workers
Virtual Reality (VR) is increasingly being used to support workplace well-being, but many interventions focus narrowly on a single activity or goal. Our work explores how VR can meet the diverse physical and mental needs of knowledge workers. We developed Tranquil Loom, a VR app offering stretching, guided meditation, and open exploration across four environments. The app includes an AI assistant that suggests activities based on users' emotional states. We conducted a two-phase mixed-methods s…
