Tourist cities should have hotel rooms by the hour that are actually clean when you just want to take a nap.
git send-xmpp&darcs send --xmppfor realtime, decentralized collaborative patches. The extensibility could fix the UX issues with patches by email & wouldn’t require accounts on someone else’s server or using the severely flawed ‘pull request’ model.You know how the FTC recently banned non-compete clauses (for non-senior roles)?
They should ban the, ‘and other unspecified duties as required’ clauses too.
And forced arbitration should be invalidated.
A cool idea I’ve had for a long time (or rather a dream) was a truly private and good suit auf office programs like Microsoft 356 but with privacy and the customor in mind. No anti-consumer things generally.
This exists. https://www.libreoffice.org/ Great stuff 👍
Collaborative editing in real time?
If you need collaboration you can self-host collabora for free. https://www.collaboraoffice.com/code/ It uses libreoffice code. It’s also a supported backend for collaboration in nextcloud.
A society based on mutual aid :3
And also bluetooth earbuds without touch controls
I’ve rented an airbnb for a few hours when i had a long layover. Some hotels have day rates. There’s an app - hotels by day or something like that.
Global peace and security.
Government workers should have wages and benefits that go up when the economy goes up.
Nonprofit versions of vital social tech. If I had the money sitting around, I’d love to start a nonprofit dating site/app. I met my wife on OKC in 2011 before it got bought up and enshittified. It was great and want heard toward just keeping you engaged (they’re soooooo bad now!). You’d probably have to gatekeep it with a small fee to disincentive bots, but with a relatively small investment, you could create something really useful for folks without preying on anyone’s desperation.
Signal would be a good model for this sort of thing.
Actually… a Fediverse OK Cupid clone could totally be a thing… runs away to ponder
I think this might want a clean sheet design. At least as I understand it, there are issues with privacy in the fediverse/activitypub vis-a-vis non-public messages. I think it’s also an area where, in order to go the most good, you’d want simple signups and easy engagement (to say nothing of being able to trust that your info has been deleted when you delete it).
Clearly, I’m here and I value the philosophical underpinnings of the fediverse, but I think it might not be the best fit for dating.
That said, if you feel like you can solve those problems, you’d be doing a world of good if you’re right.
I feel like we can figure this out with end to end encryption.
Idk, isn’t something like OKC like… literally the opposite use case from what ActivityPub/The Fediverse was built to solve?

Now make it more popular lol
I’ve got it downloaded but haven’t even opened it lol, I’d have to figure out how to make a dating profile and then I’d have to put a pic of me on the internet which I haven’t done in 14yr lol.
“What are your interests”
“Fuck you mean right now? 'Cause I got megaADHD that shit changes sometimes… I like long walks on the trails and overthinking questions…”

Craggles™
Sandles for the crag allowing belayers to quickly slip them on and off. Toe area capped with light armour and good rubber soles for scrambling. Of course they have accessory loops for quickly attaching to bags for multi-pitch, Gone are the days of sore feet from belaying in climbing shoes, toe damage from catching a whip in flip-flops, or holding up your climbing partner by trying to find your approach shoes and a spot to put them on.
Wrecking ball duels!
Ever heard of Overwatch?
CHEAP capsule hotels. We have a couple here in London but they charge the same as the budget hotels, completely missing the point.
Part of the problem is that a lot of hotel and other property owners don’t want cheap capsule hotels.
I feel like you’d probably enjoy wandering through the halfbakery…
Oh man I used to be a menace on there.
All gamepads that have it having a BAXY control scheme. That’s B right, A down, X left, Y up for the buttons on the right side of the gamepad. I can’t tell you how many times I have pressed the wrong buttons when playing certain games all because the 3rd party switch controller I have uses ABYX or because I don’t remember where the symbols are on a PlayStation controller. Dreamcast and original Xbox had their shit together with how they used BAXY for their controllers and to this day I may shit on Microsoft, but not on the BAXY control scheme on their gamepads.
What makes BAXY the right way?
Purely preference. That, and I’ve spent about a million times more time on an xbox360 than just about any other console in existence, so it’s what I personally consider the best way. If you or someone you know uses any other way, that’s your deal, but I just can’t retrain myself to like any other format.
The Super Nintendo Standard
It’s not, though. The person I replied to is saying that the lowest button of the cluster should be A, whereas the SNES standard puts B in that spot.
Parking lot lights, that are in/ on each space. That indicates if there is a space available…. Less driving around the lot looking for a space
I have seen these in airport parking garages - green when the spot is empty, red when occupied and visible from the end of the aisle.
What really blew my mind was seeing the exact same functionality for stalls in the restroom.
Omg. Where???
It has been a minute but I want to say maybe BNA Nashville Airport had them.
Regardless, it looked like this.
Aw yeah!
Malaysia is all over this in every major carpark.
Portland airport parking garage has these lights at each spot, along with a digital sign at the start of each level telling you the number of open standard spots and handicap spots on that level
DWI Airport (Baltimore/DC) has bathrooms with these lights too. Very useful.
Most every mall in Asian countries I’ve visited has this system already. This may just be a North America being cheap problem.
Some North American malls have them.
The problem is that a lot of American malls are in decline and can barely afford to keep the escalators working, let alone install these lights.
Something I have discussed before aside, a communication reform would be nice. The world of language is way too chaotic, with too many people who think their way of communicating should be universal and not enough people with that opinion questioning how they can change theirs in the name of efficiency/sufficiency.
Esperanto?
