Hard to execute
Nice, I see what you did there.
We already have standards for media, we would just have to enforce them more rigorously.
I think the capital punishment would be enforcement enough; don’t you?
Kill the violators of the standard, resuscitate them and kill them again!

Aww shit, good call. Which notation and names for the new numbers are we using?
0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,cat,girl,
10,11,12,13,14,15,16,17,18,19,1cat,1girl,
20,…
…
cat0,cat1,cat2,cat3,cat4,cat5,cat6,cat7,cat8,cat9,catcat,catgirl,
girl0,girl1,girl2,girl3,girl4,girl5,girl6,girl7,girl8,girl9,girlcat,girlgirl,
100,…

- ISO date and time.
- Metric system.

- OpenDocument.
- 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.
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.
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.
Git
I understand the de facto standard situation, but I’d rather have Fossil as default as long as it’s suitable.
XDG Base Directory.
Defined by an env variable? How asinine!

Nothing. I’m against the death penalty
So, “no more death penalty”? Punishable by death of course.
Misuse of apostrophes; or any use of the words ‘mid’ or ‘literally’.
Welcome to the electric chair, ‘mate’. Oopsies
Literally a bad idea
Politicians who lie to their constituents.
Metric system, right-hand traffic, ISO 8601, high taxes on the rich, someone’s power being used as a multiplier in punishment.
Metric system comes with metric (decimal) time and republican calendar
What about the electric socket? I like Type F, but I hate how it doesn’t have replaceable fuse, like Type G. I also think 3-pin should be mandatory. And about electricity, 230V, 50Hz should be the standard.
Type I. The angled pins make it much more stable than F, and there’s heaps of options for cable exiting sideways, upwards, downwards, straight out, etc .
What I like about socket type I is that it has both 2 and 3-pin variants, which is a nice feature. And you’re right about how stable it is, given how the pins are angled.
However, from all the images I’ve seen online, it seems to me that those cables aren’t at the bottom or the top, but toward the center. I mean, if you had something like a sofa or a bed pushed towards the plus, that would cause egregious amount of damage to the plug. Now, I could be in the wrong here.
Also, the ground isn’t tall enough, as screen in type G, D or M, which could be a safety hazard. And the point about the accessible fuse, which is a plus in type G, apparently doesn’t seem to be in any other socket.
In support of type F socket, they’re socketed - as in, a significant part of the plug has to go in first. And this interaction enables the plugs to be grounded first, before any of the other pins come into contact. You’re getting both stability and ground connection at the same time.
Plenty of type I come out sideways- they are lower profile than most I’ve seen, slightly more so than type G.

This can actually be a bit of an annoyance, sometimes… If the socket is right next to the floor, or in a densely packed area, for example, it can make plugging difficult.
And if it does have a ground pin, it’s mandated that the ground be longer than the power pins, for exactly the reason you mentioned about G,D,M.
The recessed feature of F I do like, even if it makes the plugs physically larger than they need to be.
That’s actually nice that there’s a low-profile plug available. I could see a alternative type socket with recessed plug socket, sideways ground like the Schuko, and the angled pins.
I would like to add free/accessible healthcare for all

This is not 'Nam, there are rules.
I like the Scandinavian system of fines for breaking the law. They’re scaled based on your annual income so a speeding ticket isn’t just a fee for the wealthy.
Still a fee for the wealthy. If I earn a million a year I can easily give up 90 % of that and still live comfortably. That’s not the case for someone who earns 100,000.
Still better than a flat fee.
($93k vs $9300 for those who prefer USD)
AFAIK, of the Scandinavian countries it’s only Finland that has that system.
In Denmark if you are charged with hazardous driving the police can confiscate your car. A Norwegian who had bought a Lamborghini in Germany took the trip through Denmark back home and hit 228 km/t. He lost the car and will never get it back.

Good choices. Fixed-rate fines are unfair. To someone living on minimum wage, a $500 fine can be devastating. To someone pulling down a huge salary, not so much. They’re essentially unequal punishments for the same violation.
Yup. And not just fines imo. For instance, a cop who rapes or blatantly assaults someone, especially on duty, should have their sentence at least doubled due to the power dynamics.
Don’t forget ISO216 for paper size. It does not make sense that the US is still using “letter” and “legal” paper size.
Why does it matter, just print stuff, supply the correct paper or material for your project, then move on.
We need one more rule: can’t defend cluster fuck murican paper sizes
I would be a terrifying and bloodthirsty Supreme Leader for sure… 😏
That is why we should prevent human beings from holding too much power.
Hypocrisy. If one berates people for doing x, when you do it you’re doubly guilty. You might still be guilty for other reasons, but if you publicly scorn other people doing it you’ll get a bonus penalty.

The death penalty, because that shit is barbaric.
So everyone that punishes someone with death will receive the death penalty?
Of course, you will have to punish the person that punishes the person that punishes someone with the death penalty with the death penalty with the death penalty
But then, because they punished someone that punished someone that punished someone that punished someone with death with death with death with death, they will have to be killed
Eventually, you will run out of people who can punish someone with the death penalty, so you will have to do it. Since you killed someone as a punishment, someone will also have to kill you, but because you are the only person that can do that, you will have to do it, ending the loop
Uh …yaaaa. simple premise, simple solution.
Sounds like the solution for every human problem. I’m on board.
But, hear me out: people using commas where they should use periods. Can we kill those people as a darwin exception?
Ok heres mine: People who complain about writing and grammar when they can understand what the other person is trying to say
Double death to them. If you can correct someone, then you clearly were able to understand perfectly in the first place.
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.
That at least bit makes that potentially even worse. Just look at the List of miscarriage of justice cases on Wikipedia, it’s not not exhaustive and it’s huge, I cannot morally or ethically justify capital punishment on that alone, the whole state-sanctioned murder bit just makes it even more horrific.
