@thomasfuchs heat pumps

@thomasfuchs (recumbent)bicycles
Sailing cargovessels
Opensource software
Bamboo structures
Treehouses
Wind energy
Regenerative
Just adding a few to the list,
Sure there's lots more.

@thomasfuchs @mrundkvist Defintely guillotines

@thomasfuchs

there's a sizeable cryptoleft community working on tools to support worker movements ... a lot of it is DOA or vaporware at this point though. sad.

@thomasfuchs
-easy to repair designs
-screws
-diy creations
-3D printing (a 3D printer is usually made by a friend who has a 3D printer, with their own 3D printer, this was a standard at the beggining of 3D printers)
-counter surveilance tech
-anything that would erase USA from the world
-public transport
-agriculutre improvements
-the advances on understanding whales and the terrors that come with it

@thomasfuchs I agree with this list (pic from the #nokings protest here in Paris)

@thomasfuchs

Watermills
Sailing ships
Trees (e.g., growing in rainforests, or encroaching on deserts)
Hydrogen-based steel production
Geothermal house heating
Non-fossil sources of organic chemicals for synthetic industries
Material-efficient wooden construction
Fountain pens
Open-hardware laptops
Repairable smartphones
Recycling

@thomasfuchs Mars rockets, provided the right person is on it. We'll only need one.

@thomasfuchs guillotines of course

@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 all of these!

@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 bikes

@thomasfuchs * Vibrators without Bluetooth or ties to surveillance apps

@thomasfuchs Anything Steam and AynTec are producing.

@thomasfuchs

Fusion?

@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

@[email protected] 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.

@thomasfuchs bicycles

@thomasfuchs

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 yes

@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
