“Is there a technology that the left is excited about?!?”

[aisling@critters.gay]

@thomasfuchs@hachyderm.io misread that as "violins" which yeah, hella good technology

[thomasfuchs@hachyderm.io]

@aisling I’ll allow it

[pizzademon@mastodon.online]

@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

@mikemccaffrey @thomasfuchs @alice wait the left has elected leaders?

[thesquirrelfish@sfba.social]

@PizzaDemon @thomasfuchs
- And pharmacists and medical professionals trained to share information and train patients in participating in their own health care

[thomasfuchs@hachyderm.io]

@thesquirrelfish @PizzaDemon you dream big, I like it

@thomasfuchs
Also not mentioned yet: batteries! Lots of exciting developments there

[qkslvrwolf@mastodon.social]

@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.

[earthshine@masto.hackers.town]

@thomasfuchs Yes, although I gotta admit trains are less impressive to me the more that techbros try to reinvent them.

[natpryce@mastodon.social]

@thomasfuchs Desalination and water purification.
