32GB of storage? Could I put my audiobooks on there and stream them directly to some headphones? Cause that would be sick.

I'm going to start with a couple projects that don't already exist.
-
Something like the AUR but for non executable content like movies or books. I'm imagining something like;
(program name) -m (medium, eg. Book, magazine, article (or "print" for any text document) Show, Movie (or video for any video document) and so on) (search term) -
A project that allows a full installed-in-place Linux installation with grub and all, no USB drive required. If that's a two stage thing where it partitions a section of the drive then installs an installer there, then reboots to that installer, or some other thing doesn't matter. No, not whatever Ubuntu used to do, I mean a proper installation.
-
A program that tricks lan games into playing in side by side couch coop. I've figured out a method for doing this using multiseat on swayWM but it's pretty complicated and touchy.
-
An open source car computer software. Not for the infotainment.
-
An open source printer that works.
-
A liquid democracy voting system
Things that actually exist:
-
Minetest, specifically creating tools to help existing Minecraft mods be ported over.
-
GIMP
-
IPFS, try to get it in use in more places by default (AUR seems promising?)
-
Wine
Re: haiku what do you find so promising about it? I've played around with it. I imagine it isn't just the desktop experience?
The blurred version of this picture on hexbear looks like Fox Wilde talking to an ostrich.
I usually start off with some Dune lore as a litmus test to see if we can be friends.
- On sway I have this setup that lets me run two instances of any lan-only game in a couch co-op side by side configuration, each window getting its own mouse and keyboard or gamepad.
- Setting up a keybind to do an arbitrary thing is so easy on sway that I'll set one up just for one task I'm working on then delete it later.
- Put a task bar on the left, the right, the top, half of the screen, the middle of the screen? Whatever, go wild.
- BTRFS with Timeshift leveraging BTRFS's COW system to give me essentially free backups that I can boot into? Saved my tailfeathers a few times.
Recently there's been a push on Linux for containerized "apps" that come bundled with their dependencies windows style. Ubuntu has been the one really pushing this with their implementation called "snaps" which has made a lot of people very angry and is widely regarded as a bad idea.

Throwing a fit and going to the effort of installing a mod that removes features from a game when you could simply pick your pronouns and continue with your day is very not owned behavior.

Laws that aren't intended to be actually enforced, but serve as cover for a search or whatever other cop activity. Seat belt, drug, and helmet laws for example. I don't think it's even about tickets it's just reason to pull you over and brow beat you for a while.
You're telling me the state that doesn't give a fuck if I die from gesticulates generally around suddenly cares whether I make a personal decision about my own safety?
This is coming from someone who wears his seat belt 100% of the time and gets car sick if I don't, who has been ticketed for not wearing one even though I was. 
Mullvad is only $5 a month just sayin'
I've noticed all my British shows have gone missing over the last couple years from the usual torrent sites. I'm kind of surprised because (I'm going to get my head bitten off for this take) the BBC is making better content than anything America has put out in the last few years.
Still on prime because I save more than I spend using it.
