So basically 1 in 20 inmates on death row are innocent, and people (mostly conservatives) are A-OK with that percentage of innocent people being subject to state-sanctioned murder in a very brutal way that's far from painless. A dog being put down by a vet receives more humane treatment than a human being put down by the state.
- All software that is to be used on the public should be Free and Open Sourced in a GPL style license.
- No death penalty
above two violations are punishable by death!
Recipes in concrete metric units, preferably mass instead of volume. Recipes come together incredibly quickly when measuring out ingredients can just be dump-tare-dump-tare-dump instead of trying to get sticky ingredients like tahini out of a measuring cup.
More torx screws. There are apparently some uses for phillips, but torx are criminally underused.
That's a good one. I feel like either torx or square drives should be chosen and all consumer facing screws should be one of, say, 10 sizes.
And you can apply for a permit to use other sizes, but even that is gonna cost you like a couple days in jail.
I would add that all recipes must use the common professional standard format with ingredients and their amount at the top, preferably alongside the required equipment followed by the estimated prep time and cook time followed by the consecutive step-by-step listed instructions.
My brother was getting one of meal subscriptions akin to Blue Apron and there was never any rhyme or reason to the format, content, or layout of the included recipe instructions. -An egregious oversight.
I also have heard that when torx heads become stripped they turn into hex heads. I've never investigated this claim, though.

- HDR10+.
Also, I would enforce every online shop, transport company, hotels... All of these functioning under a federated market, sort of like the fediverse. Impossible to corrupt. Impossible to monopolize. True choice.
Semantic versioning.
Most of the time. I use calendar versioning (calver) for my internal application releases because I work in IT. When the release happens is more consequential than breaking changes. And because it's IT, changes that break something somewhere are incredibly frequent, so we would constantly be releasing "major" versions that aren't really major versions at all.
OpenDocument.
Agreed compared to .doc and .docx. And if you're going to version control it, markdown instead of a binary blob.
For academic documents in STEM fields, I'd love to see a transition from LaTeX to Typst. Much cleaner, better error handling, and it has a web UI if people don't want to install a massive runtime on their own computer.
Yeah, Typist is great and has potential for much more still! The big issue is something like the network effect, LaTeX has everything you could possibly want, pretty much, and people will continue to primarily support it because it's the biggest tool. It will be hard to break that cycle, but in the long run it may be possible.
What's with Git? Sure, it is used by a lot of people, but it has some of it's own shortcomings as a snapshot-based version control. VCS like Pijul has it's own advantages, something to do with the patch theory of differences (disclaimer: I'm not an expert in this).
I am also kinda opposed to enforcing XDG, because of how unstandardized it is. Like for example, to set a terminal, GNOME Shell had to hardwired a piece of code to their internals, checking to see if a particular environment variable exists, , or else use gnome-terminal, which is just bad practise.
Git
I understand the de facto standard situation, but I'd rather have Fossil as default as long as it's suitable.
If all punishment is capital punishment, then I'd keep it as laissez-faire as possible.
Except for "no parking in the bike lane". That one's worth.
Camping in the fast lane and/or driving with your brights on.
If you report anything not factual on the "news" or anything where you have an audience. I'm really tired of that bullshit.
Socialism and planned economy, ban on private enterprises
Not only does it aim to stop neverending inequality shift and enshittification, it also helps to save Earth by putting an end to overproduction and bullshit consumerism
No motivation to do better leads to stagnating tech evolution. If you remove private business you stagnate
There is motivation to do better - inventors are praised and financially rewarded, and those who successfully apply new tech are too.
Sure, an inventor won't turn billionaire, but he also won't run a risk of losing it all trying to apply said invention. Market actually scares many off, it's not simply a land of opportunities.
Crocs. Fuck your ugly, very gross-looking wannabe sandal. And why the fuck do they always look like you just pulled them from a landfill, and marinated them in toxic waste?
