@thomasfuchs I'd also add micromobility to that list 😁 🛴
@thomasfuchs I personally am much more excited about tech coming from China these days. US tech is dead, poisoned by business grifters wanting to make a quick buck, consequences be damned.
@thomasfuchs Honestly I'm also really excited about infrastructure. Like, we have the tech we need, IMO, we just need to use it at scale
@thomasfuchs
- Flywheel ♥️
- Risc V 🌈
- Heat pump 🥵
@thomasfuchs These are just some of my favourite things!
@thomasfuchs * Vibrators without Bluetooth or ties to surveillance apps
@thomasfuchs Anything Steam and AynTec are producing.
@float13 we already have fusion technology since 1883, it’s called solar cells
@thomasfuchs Storage batteries for said solar, drones.
@thomasfuchs Desalination and water purification.
@thomasfuchs energy storage, if you're me. Re-wilding tech (which can be very tech)
Agricultural tech that walks back from high-fossil-inputs and pesticides, like agrivoltatics and regenerative agriculture.
Ocean cleanup and plastic removal tech.
Micro-mobility.
@thomasfuchs
Also not mentioned yet: batteries! Lots of exciting developments there
@thomasfuchs especially in combination:
- solar powered guillotines
- piezoelectric vibrators that charge themselves on the leaked motion of the daily train commute.
- librarians trained to administer free vaccines
@PizzaDemon @thomasfuchs
- And pharmacists and medical professionals trained to share information and train patients in participating in their own health care
@thesquirrelfish @PizzaDemon you dream big, I like it
@thomasfuchs@hachyderm.io misread that as "violins" which yeah, hella good technology
@thomasfuchs I have worked in IT & cybersecurity for 18 years and the only technology I am excited about anymore is kissing.
Other than that, decentralized anything.
I don't identify as either, but prefer any technology that saves, improves lives, nuff said.
@thomasfuchs That escalated quickly
@thomasfuchs Computers, but when they're used to make people's lives easier and not extract every last red cent from them.
@thomasfuchs
- mRNA vaccines
@thomasfuchs Everyone in the bottom 99% should have regular opportunities to use a vibrator or a guillotine until we achieve world peace.
@thomasfuchs TORRENT! Decentralized computing and tinkering used to be about volunteer work for the benefit of the commons, once upon a time. It was only when social media invented influencers that chronically online people started getting obsessed with monetization and financial speculation.
@thomasfuchs Vaccines and scientific medicine in general
@thomasfuchs @PixelRobot I wish the left were more interested in ventilation, filtration and masking. Most leftist spaces are inaccessible to me.
@diffrentcolours @PixelRobot 100% agree. I’ve been ranting about this for years.
@PixelRobot yeah there’s a lot of tech that super exciting!
