@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.

- Guillotines@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

- Guillotines@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.

@float13 @thomasfuchs Get back to us when it works. Twenty years, right?
If they hire me I'll do it in ten

@thomasfuchs That escalated quickly
@vsharma2430 @thomasfuchs Eh. It is long overdue actually.

@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.
@valsombra @thomasfuchs
Decentralized kissing? -

@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

Decentralized kissing?@janneke @thomasfuchs honestly, brilliant.

- Guillotines@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.
