I love that I can chat with people, and make friends, all over the world, in real time, so easily. There are some wonderful humans in the fediverse, and it is a genuine pleasure to chat with you.
I love that using renewable energy, and reducing grid dependency, is increasingly viable.
I love having a bicycle with a battery, so that I can use a car less, and cycle with a massive smile on my face. Wheee!
I love that I can run my business from home, and so get to both work *and* spend a lot of time around my wonderful wife.
Tech in 2026 isn't all bad, but sometimes I have to remind myself of that.
@neil yes, much of the tech is very positive. I just wish that UK policy could adapt more quickly. I very much expect AI to take my job long before it is safe for me to cycle to work, despite both being many years away. Also, the council refused us for a heat pump. 😒
