Thinking about smarter systems. Hoping for smarter people. Toots about #UX, #HCI, and #Green politics.

Background in designing and building stochastic simulations of complex systems, and aviation safety, with a doctorate in applying safety thinking to UX.

My ideas on analysing the ethical properties of a design will be linked here once I finish my new website.

Here is how I “watch YouTube” first I check that my ad blockers are on, and the extension that hides thumbnails, and the extension that gives videos more neutral titles. I look at my subscriptions and add videos to a playlist. I search for topics I’m currently concerned about. When I have about 90min of video. I shuffle the list and check the order. Then (and only then) do I get to kick back and “watch TV”

YouTube isn’t easy to use this way.
Anyone else do something similar?

I watch it using the YouTube app on my Amazon stick and don't sign in.

I get content similar to what I've chosen to watch before by doing that, and many fewer weird disinformation recommendations than when I'm signed in on my laptop.

I'm looking for a FUN activity, or test question about Java classes, class methods, OOP.

If you can think of something memorable you did in a class or for fun that taught you something about Java classes I'd love suggestions.

I'm finding all the examples dry and boring. "The student class is a subclass of the people class"

Any suggestions?

How about distinguishing between a curtain, a door, a gate, and a window?
