Just off the top of my head:

  • More domain-specific languages for doing traditionally-mouse-driven kind of workflows. (OpenSCAD is one of the better examples of such a DSL that does exist, but there aren't very many. I'm being the change I wish to see in the world on this one.)
  • A vi/vim-like text editor that has the features I want (gu/gU, q<buffer>, v, etc) and not the ones I don't (syntax highlighting, auto-indent, a whole-ass language built in, GUI support, etc) and is in the Gentoo standard package repository.
  • An actively-maintained no-slop fork of the Linux kernel.

A task / to do organizer that:

  • intelligently populates a "do today" list while handling dependancies and scheduling

  • is editable and viewable by multiple people, has individual tasks for each user, and also pulls from a list of shared tasks

  • keeps a record of when and by who previous tasks were completed

  • is capable of but does not require integration with calendar, fitness tracker, and messaging

Buddy of mine is working on something like this: https://git.circuitforge.tech/eva/focus-flow

A first person scrolls like MMO sandbox, but each server has it's own lasting history. Like, instead of making all the legendary items, players doing fantastic things will get a prompt to turn part of their equipment into a legendary item. They can add a relevant modifier, request a unique name, and from that point on the item works by legend rules. It can't leave that server, if you die with it the item disappears and becomes a reward for a dungeon. The item tracks people who have owned it so you can literally see the history.

It could have player ran factions. Not the, "everyone makes their clan of 1" like most games, you'd have to take x players or be an affiliate of a larger group. Then you could have a schism in the mages guild when a bunch of affiliated players break off due to a player made rule, or the revival of a dead guild as former players return and begin recruiting again.

All the while, the servers each run entirely independently with unique history. You could move between them as the same character if you leave your legendary items behind so you can participate in player made events or when trade goods between them, but Excaliber on server A literally doesn't exist in server B, and the kingdom of guy1 doesn't have the same standing here as it does there.

Scenario: I am sitting on the sofa and I type, I want to go to the dentist / cinema / vacation; and fully automatically the entire exercise (ticket, appointment, billing, payment, seatreservations, return trip etc etc) is planned, all I need to do is wait for the calendar reminder. And all of that is naturally fully protected by sound data privacy.

I know it's a very unpopular opinion around here, but this was pretty much the dream and why agents were built. The problem is their inefficiency and training mechanics. However, I read about A2A as a way to achieve this through a demo, where your local machine talks with airlines and hotels to find out availability, asks you questions on preferences, and tries to find a solution. Some existing vacation planners already do this, but I know your ask is in general, and I think that was the plan for engineers. I'm sure they were steered in other directions though. Things like this could be done without AI, though, but standardization is required and to achieve that we have to deal with a very human problem: cooperative agreement. It's rare when people agree so completely on a standard, which is why some of the most basic things the Internet is based on takes forever before finally becoming a standard. Sometimes it takes just one method/format to become the standard based on popularity, but for tools to work together, it requires multiple parties to agree and then others to want to join in and adopt it. The unfortunate part is that as things expand, needs change and things get messy really quick.

A non-interactive scheduler to play my movies and TV shows at set times each week. It should remember with episode was last played so it keeps the sequence correct. I shouldn’t need to do anything except keep the app open.

If i understand your needs correctly, you're in luck, it exists.

Oh, this is exactly what I was looking for! QuasiTV and Nostalgia TV for anyone wondering.

At least one of them seems to have a Google dependency, with rules me out. But I’ll look into them in more detail. Thanks again!

Fuck yes! I love jellyfin but I'd kill for a live broadcast to break the stream nonsense.

[–] TheWeirdestCunt@lemmy.today 4 points 2 days ago

Set up ErsatzTV, you can plug it into jellyfin as a live broadcast and it'll show a TV guide too.

Do you mean like linearr? Sorry if I'm misunderstanding you

[–] Seimhe@lemmy.world 4 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago)

That’s very close. If I understand what I’m reading it prepares the shoes for viewing just like I mentioned. But it doesn’t play them automatically. I’m looking for the old experience where the TV Show A plays every Tuesday at 7pm without my needing to press play.

Still, your suggestion is better than my current situation so I might try to get it running. Thanks!

Good open source multiplatform 360 video editing software that supports all the formats (insta360, DJI, GoPro, etc.)
