What apps would you love to have open-source alternatives for?
FOSS CAD softwares. I know FreeCAD exists but it’s very unintuitive compared to the proprietary ones. I am thankful that it exists but it’s a long way apart to become a household name like Blender.
I wish I could start writing one but I don’t have a clear picture of requirements to plan and start writing one. If anyone is expert in this field please link some research papers and guidelines for someone to start fresh.

Musk is undeniably just trying to run twitter into the ground at this point.
What did he even think the purpose of APIs were. Data scraping puts unnecessary load on servers only to scrape out majority of the content. It’s funny how he shoots himself in the leg and now complain.

What are some "no brainer" inventions or features that just haven't made it to the consumer yet?
Nested Tags for contacts. Ability to add sub tags like Friends/BowlingGroup or Acquaintance/LocalChurchContact
I seriously don’t understand what’s difficult to tag contacts like this and ability to use them to message a group. It’s a serious no-brainer feature but not to be found anywhere.

Why can’t they just certify cars based on safety and ban unsafe ones instead of blanket ban the entire segment of them. It certainly helps the adoption of EV among masses.

2023 Japanese Grand Prix - [RACE] discussion thread
What is even goin on with Perez today. Clumsy start resulting in early pit stop to drop to back of grid. Picking more penalties on the way. Retired. And now comes back and retires again after one lap.

It’s not a steam deck problem, if palworld keeps leaking memory. I have seen that issue in my steam deck, laptop and on my friends dedicated server.

I am confused what would be the combined functionality of the merged product. Do you need to output of converted files to be added to git when a document is version controlled?

Kage no Jitsuryokusha ni Naritakute! Season 2 • The Eminence in Shadow Season 2 - Episode 3 discussion
We were this close to Aurora's All Range Atomic.
Aurora's goofiness, Beta thinking Shadow was caring about them when we was focused on gold coins And Cid thinking his sister is Chunni XD. This show doesn't stop giving I love it.

Tires being products that can directly affect consumer safety have very stringent rules about safety factor, which usually allows close to twice of rated pressure or load before they fail. So unless you are ballooning it to uncomfortable levels you should be fine.
The more credible danger from tires are if you constantly use them under inflated, which can cause them to separate out during transit causing loss of control in vehicle. So keep check of pressure once a week to rated pressure and you should be fine
