@thomasfuchs These are just some of my favourite things!

@thomasfuchs meh, the guillotine was also for example used by the nazis to kill a lot of people. I don’t feel excited about the state killing people

@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.

@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

kowfm@ruby.social

@thomasfuchs all of these!

xorbit@noc.social

@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.

jaredwhite@indieweb.social

@thomasfuchs I'd also add micromobility to that list

If they hire me I'll do it in ten

@vsharma2430 @thomasfuchs Eh. It is long overdue actually.

Decentralized kissing?

@thomasfuchs Someone in the replies must surely have mentioned ActivityPub yet, but I didn't find it.

@diffrentcolours @thomasfuchs @PixelRobot Not sure if this is a “geeks don’t shower” kinda joke or some legitimate medical issue but I think both are valid

valsombra@chaosfem.tw

@janneke @thomasfuchs honestly, brilliant.

maikel@vmst.io

@thomasfuchs guillotines of course

vivi_the_pythoness@tech.lgbt

@thomasfuchs I'm excited to see how the decentralized internet develops. It seems like there has been a lot of resentment towards the large companies lately and I want to see what the community does to push back against the larger companies.

Also looking forward to any advancements in cleaner energy and agriculture. AI has it's uses and I think these are two good applications.
