They have these in Amsterdam. Each room comes with its own maid.

for 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.
Mozilla should make a search engine.
I know they will lose all that sweet google revenue.
Governments should support them to encourage a free and open internet, if Google wins a complete monopoly we all lose.
We don't have to go far back to see an example of what a browser monopoly will look like, just look at IE6...
There's this suit of useful little programs called Microsoft PowerToys, I always thought it should include a tool that allows you to quickly swap the contents of monitors around in multi-monitor setups.
e.g. move all open windows from monitor 1 to monitor 2 and vice-versa, while retaining their (approximate) position.
This may already be a thing, I haven't really checked.

German take: Parking on the side of the road and on sidewalks should just be banned.
Its legality is based on a single court case from the 1950's where a judge decided that it should be a legal use of public space, because it's necessary and useful for motorizing the country. The justfication is obsolete. It's not enshrined in any laws. The traffic law specifically forbids it, with exceptions.
Yet it's practiced everywhere and even where parked cars block sidewalks, police simply don't enforce the law.
"But where should I park?"
You should have thought of that before buying a car.
"But what about rural areas where you need a car to live?"
No problem here, just park it on your turnip field.
Candidates for public office should be required to undergo a mental health assessment as part of the process of getting on the ballot, and those who score beyond (above or below, as may be relevant) particular thresholds are barred from seeking office.
I sincerely believe that there's no single thing we could do that would provide more benefit to the world than to get sociopaths and narcissists and megalomaniacs out of positions of power. Each and every one of the most notable and contentious politicians in the world today is, if you just take a step back and look at them honestly, blatantly profoundly mentally ill. Enough is enough.
Skip the psych exam. Restore the “public servant” aspect.
-
All assets are sold and the cash is placed in a trust that earns 1% interest. When you leave office you get your money back.
-
24/7 audio and video coverage of your life as long as you are in office. The toilet is not filmed unless someone goes in with you. Other than that, your life is an open book.
-
After you leave office, you can teach classes as long as your compensation is no more than the lowest-paid professor at the school that employs you. You can write books. Or you can enjoy your pension. No corporate jobs or partner positions at fancy law firms.
I'd like citizenship swapping services. Some people just don't wanna stay stuck to their country of birth, especially if renouncing that citizenship is literally impossible (I'm Moroccan, and according to Moroccan law I'll stay that way to my own detriment, even if I get another citizenship which thankfully is possible).
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.
Airport lounges where the seats are just like on the plane, with little spots for luggage to the side. Then people just get up and board in order, putting your stuff right above or in front of you. If you're late, you board last. No more airline rat race.
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.
Headphones with an internal MicroSD slot or at least lots of internal storage to locally play back music.
An app that removes businesses that you follow on social media that have closed automatically so you don't get anxious.
