OMFG was this episode utter bullshit. Every bit. I was expecting a bad episode and it was SO MUCH WORSE. Among the offenders:

Incredibly stupid plot
What is this pacing
Hello Angry Young Black Woman stereotype.
Doctor is in favour of shooting and killing.
Doctor is also a Vulcan.
This plot is so stupid.
What's with the old people shown to be utterly stupid.
Hamfisted political bullshit in there, too.
And every piece of writing was like bad Doctor Who fanfiction.

Wat:
"If you have users complaining about displays randomly flickering it could actually be connected to people sitting on gas lift chairs."

"The Loss Of Micro-Privacy" How small design changes rewrote the rules of messaging and how we feel about one another. Really interesting and yet still scary. Don't we all hate those "message was read" when the person does not reply? https://medium.com/@azumbrunnen/the-loss-of-micro-privacy-baa088f0660d

We brought you some chaos.social stickers to the #36C3. @rash

#UX
This is amazing: a comics that explains a user centric process by using the redesign of the Batman's outfit as an example.
No more excuses to say "yeah but I don't understand what you people do" now!

I think I've watched this simulation of baking/heating different textures five times today: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iBpolaB4DqA

I made a thing! Noch nicht geölt, aber sonst bin ich ganz zufrieden. Zwei Minuten an der Fräse, dann eine Stunde schleifen, etwa.

And the award for best subtitle goes to …

I hope you like my #36c3 design! Create your own visuals here:

Der Congress-Presale ist ne ganz schön einzigartige Sache. Ich bin Teil des Vorverkaufs-Teams, und habe hier aufgeschrieben, welche Probleme wir zu lösen versuchen, und in welche Lösungen wir dabei laufen. Das liegt mir ganz schön am Herzen, verständlich zu machen, warum das so ist, wie es ist. https://events.ccc.de/2019/11/18/behind-the-scenes-chaos-communication-congress-presale/ #36C3

Unser nächstes Offenes Treffen am Montag, 18.11. findet dieses mal in der Merz Akademie um 18:30 Uhr statt. Zusammen mit Studierenden sprechen wir über Kunst und Technik, kommt vorbei!

Holland Knight, a game where you play a little knight with their trusty tulip, setting out to save the country from being flooded by containing the ocean in their hollow soul, stopping only occasionally to rest at oversized wooden shoes.
