Less software bloat.

I want my devices to run on an OS/framework which allows everything to be scriptable. Data should be visualised using simple/consistent interface.

There will be events, Actions, variables, data-streams, etc and the operating system should provide easy interface to quickly create new programs which can

  1. Visualize data streams (filterable) using simple interfaces(configurable)
  2. Create scripts which can create custom events or custom actions which are just built upon existing events/actions.

In such a system, the focus of apps should not be to add fancy interfaces for simple things, but to register new events, actions, data streams, visualizers into the OS and maybe provide new templates to use these additions.

  • No more proprietary software (including firmware)
  • No more software that spies on its users
  • No more software that disrespects user freedom
  • No more corporations solely trying to extract profit from their users
  • More free hardware

Focus more on stability in terms of apis. We can't be rewriting our apps constantly because they keep updating frameworks every year.

I think that most core frameworks put a ton of effort into backwards compatibility. Maintainers of smaller libraries and glue packages, however…

Awareness if not prioritizing energy efficiency. We rarely give any thought to services that run 24/7 even though they're only used 8/5 or we don't care how many CPU cycles a process uses even though it has no SLO for runtime. Most companies probably think it's a question of dumping millions of carbon units into to the atmosphere or becoming luddites.
