  • Web pages must not have any javascript.
  • Browsers must not have a javascript engine
  • Web advertisement may only happen within a sidebar and must be either a static image under 70kb, or animated image under 400kb. The total of advertising must not surpass 2.5MB.
  • Any videos or music loaded from the web may not autoplay
  • At least half of any video advertisement of computer programs (includes games, android and ios apps, etc) MUST be of someone actually using the actual program/game/app
  • Wealth tax. Fuck you, tax havens, and your clients.

No wars. Just peace.

Get rid of all lock in or network affect. In investing it might be called moat. Looking to destroy like Facebook. Very hard to compete due to they have all the users. You can't just choose your chat app, you also be on the same network as your friends. Decouple those two. Another example is YouTube. They are the biggest video provider and thus will reach most users. Decouple those two again. I can continue with Microsoft apps, Netflix videos, Google search and ads etc.

Without possibilities for real competition, you dont get innovation.

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

[โ€“] [email protected] 1 points 1 month ago (1 children)

We might fancy a little stagnation if you look around

[โ€“] [email protected] 1 points 1 month ago

Depends of the sector i guess

[โ€“] [email protected] 2 points 1 month ago (1 children)

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.

This. Think of Bill gates, and think of Linus Torvalds. Inspiration to make money can only do so much. There'd be a lot more people making awesome stuffs today if large corps didn't just buy any small tech company making anything that could be used. Sometimes they buy them and use it, sometimes they buy is and then ensittify it so people will have no choice but to use things they want.

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?

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.

Education.

"We regret to inform you little Timmy didn't pass his final secondary-school exam because he couldn't count back change from a transaction. We will send his ashes as soon as they're ready."

all media and advertising shall have the same loudness

[โ€“] [email protected] 4 points 1 month ago (1 children)

We already have standards for media, we would just have to enforce them more rigorously.

[โ€“] [email protected] 7 points 1 month ago (1 children)

I think the capital punishment would be enforcement enough; don't you?

[โ€“] [email protected] 6 points 1 month ago

Kill the violators of the standard, resuscitate them and kill them again!

I'm not an audio engineer, but this might be hard to execute.
