• Exploding batteries
Things I DO want in my tech

Research and advanced dev directions for the OSS world to address *some* of this (these are *not* short term or quick responses):

* Related type-level modeling for information flows, able to certify applications as compliant with policy and user consent.
1/..
* Starts toward modularity standards for reconfigurable, repairable, recyclable, upgradable tech
* DIY upgrade guides for non-modular tech
* Alternatives to traditional SRE-type sustaining operations for information infrastructure (I'm actively working on this one)
* Alternate UI frameworks, more distributed, less bandwidth-hungry, more heterogenous, more accessible (I'm out of my depth here)
