What would your ideal computer environment look like? I don't mean hardware per se, but like, how it's interacted with, what it does or doesn't do, etc. :boost_requested:

@joepie91 i already have a lot of what I want UX wise to be comfortable, but an underlying philosophy I don't like is The Application: it is It's Own Thing though maybe it has some Apis, File Formats or Addons for you to hook into.

The Application cannot be scripted in a language I already enjoy, I cannot write a macro for it that does the weird thing I want (unless it's a text editor, then *maybe*)

i wish for an OS, a bit like TempleOS, where i can pop a terminal and do some esoteric thing. an OS where I can hook into my Element install easily and make it copy my stickers or whatnot from some other program's API with a bit of work.

i dont want to be a known usecase, i want to craft my own experience that suits me, but currently that takes hours or days of work and very specialized expertise. i've patched or configured just about every piece of software i regularly use where it was possible in a reasonable amount of effort, but we have no system-wide *Inspect Element* and it's a real shame for quite a few reasons.
