What can be (realisticly) improved for a better and easier experience
my personal wishlist would just be a proper homeserver and the typical home theatre stuff like a nice big screen, speakers, etc.
in a broader sense of how the ecosystem would be improved, i’d say more open source projects and solidarity in general. currently the worst, yet most common sort of piracy is people searching “watch blank online free” and clicking the shady websites full of junk ads, popups and malware just to see a shitty heavily compressed buffering version with baked in subtitles and stuff. piracy should be for the people, not for profit; lowering the amount of technical hoops you need to jump through to get to the good accessible media by having simple, free, and open tools would help a lot.
