I tend to not really care for most new things, as most of it feels cheap, inauthentic or a scam to further the surviellance facist oligarchy state. Id be completely content with time frozen in 2004.

So, to be a little more positive, what are some new things that are actually good?

Note, to me, new is within the last 10 years.

I’ll start. The fediverse concept is neat.

    SBCs like Rasberry Pi. To have easy to use low cost computers be this powerful truly is the future. We have so many tools available to us these days. With open source software, low cost hard and a bit of learning we can save $1000s of dollars that would have gone straight into the pockets of tech companies.

    Electric bikes are cool, I see them growing in popularity around my city and its getting people used to biking who never would have before. Because there are a ton of hills people would hand wave and say oh im not fit enough to bike. Its having a flow on effect, they realise they enjoy biking so they do it more and lose weight. Gov sees people using the bike lanes and invests more in them.
