       Various tech things I think the world needed yesterday (so to speak):- Handheld keyboard with built-in USB-C dock (USB-A, full size HDMI/DP, SD card slot): to hopefully make modern smartphones viable as laptop substitutes- Desktop environments that include "view source code" and "open in disassembler"-buttons on every application window and launcher icon(surprised that #Gentoo or #guix haven't already tried this: considering that their package managers are already built around compiling software from source.)(Would probably be most practical on systems where every application is written in interpreted languages.)- Terminal with a context menu where you can find and paste every available command or application, featuring icons and descriptions for all of them(basically anything that would make command line tools more discoverable)- clone of Itch[dot]io that only serves FOSS videogames(I also think it'd be neat if more FOSS games shipped level editors)- Loss32, @hikari's effort to turn Wine into the primary GUI of a Linux system.(most of the convenience features and configuration knobs that Wine launchers like Q4Wine or Lutris offer would be more useful if they were implemented as part of a desktop environment: and using a spruced-up version of WineDesktop to that end is a reasonable approach)(I have mixed feelings about the Windows software ecosystem and the website's "Win32 is the stable Linux ABI"-rhetoric: but being able to use it on a non-Microsoft platform with minimal hassle is pretty important step towards dissolving their chokehold on personal computing)(All things considered I'm kinda shocked that this hasn't already been attempted by some rogue #LibreOffice, SteamOS or #Qubes contributor.)- Gentoo-style package manager for Windows and MacOS: to promote the advantages of building software from source even in the darkest corners of the proprietary world(i dunno this one probably already exists)- Phone that uses a 2.5 inch SATA SSD as it's primary form of storage(if it had a particularily good camera, certain types of indie filmmakers would probably have a field day with it)#FOSS
