@thomasfuchs@hachyderm.io misread that as "violins" which yeah, hella good technology
@aisling I’ll allow it

“Is there a technology that the left is excited about?!?”
- Solar energy
- Libraries
- Trains
- Vibrators
- Guillotines@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 -
@thomasfuchs @alice Our elected leaders are really into text messages for fundraising.
@mikemccaffrey @thomasfuchs @alice wait the left has elected leaders?

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

- Solar energy
- Libraries
- Trains
- Vibrators
- Guillotines@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.

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

Fusion?
@float13 we already have fusion technology since 1883, it’s called solar cells

Fusion?
@float13 @thomasfuchs Get back to us when it works. Twenty years, right?

- Guillotines@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 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.
