Dorky catfox from Dwamish land (Seattle). I build hardware and software and post about that. I shitpost. I sometimes post about sports. Mostly about tech. Please ask before DM. In a sane society I would not need these but techbros seem to believe consent is implied now sooo: #nobot #noindex #noarchive #nosearch #nobridge

Everyone thinks everything has gotten worse
Here’s some things that actually haven’t:
Weather forecasting: it’s better than everSolar: cheaper than natural gasCoal: essentially dying from not being cheaper than natgas or solarTimekeeping: now accurate over galactic timescales Flash storage: surpassing spinning rustPublic transit ridership in the US: Amtrak is posting the best numbers everUnion membership in the US: risingMurder rates: falling in the US and worldwide on average, believe it or notCFC’s: essentially abolished and gone, the biggest environmental win of our lifetimesAcid rain: increasingly a nearly-solved issueElectrical access: still rising worldwideInternet access: most people are now connected everywhere China is leading the way in green tech and actively working to get off fossil fuelsYou can charge an EV from 0 to 80% in 15 minutes with the newest chargers and tech, and it’s still getting faster
And so much more. Lots of quiet wins that people never hear about because all they do is doomscroll.
