Any #compsci teachers who use GitHub Codespaces (or similar) for teaching? We're a Chromebook school and can't put student devices into developer mode because of reasons. Codespaces seems like a good fit for different runtimes, but I have zero experience.

Any tips or thoughts would be appreciated. We're hoping to start in fall of 2024, so I have some time to tinker.

Does anyone in the Fediverse do work on how ads affect website use and content consumption? If so, I'd love to chat.

I have some findings from a recent experiment that goes against conventional wisdom, and I think it's pretty interesting.
