a great time today with our SIG attendees, who sketched out some lovely, hopeful alternative tech futures 🔮 #cscw2025 many thanks to co-organizers beatriz palacios abad, vishāl sharma, @hanlinliii.bsky.social, and @alexandrato.bsky.social; excited for the future of this community!

tl;dr: i'm on the academic job market; say hi at #CSCW2025! i'm a distinguished postdoc fellow at northeastern studying how tech's deep entanglements into society have caused concrete harms to people and changed what privacy fundamentally means (is it dead? is it recoverable? how? 😨) yuxiwu.com

“AI” isn’t a tool or technology or even a cluster of technologies with a misleading name. It’s the infrastructure at the foundation of a form of capitalism dependent on data brokering. We should be teaching our students about this and not teaching them about “responsible” use.

a lovely day to vote for @wutrain.bsky.social, a normal human fellow resident of boston, over a billionaire nepobaby cartoon villain 😌🖕

in town for conpro and ready to rant about cultivating critical reflection and journaling about privacy harms 📓

If someone new to activism tells you about something like Blackout Friday, my feeling is you respond and say, “Cool!” and take part because it costs you nothing, then follow up with “Thanks for telling me about that—do you want to join me on [sustained action]?”

48 hours of remembering what sunlight is again; thanks #usec2025🔒!

🔒 Our new #USEC2025 paper shows that by automating permission decisions based on prior decisions, we risk NORMALIZING privacy discomfort rather than reducing it. "Modeling End-User Affective Discomfort With Mobile App Permissions" Paper: sauvikdas.com/papers/60/se...

🚨 In our new #USEC2025 paper, we introduce a secure, physically-intuitive RFID tag that users actually trust. On-demand RFID: Improving Privacy, Security, and User Trust in RFID Activation through Physically-Intuitive Design 👉 Paper: sauvikdas.com/papers/62/se... #Privacy #AcademicSky #Security
