We talk a lot about enshittification of technology, so tell me about technology that is getting better!

I personally love the progress of electric scooters. I’ve been zooming around on a 400$ escooter for a year and it works so well. It has a range of around 20 miles and top speed of 15 mph, so it works just super well for my uses, and 10 years ago scooters with that range/speed/price were no where near a thing.

        Americans drinking lead water and testing cocaine to see if it cures laziness, fitting shoes with x-rays, you’re truly the most adventurous people in some ways!

        That’s really cool! I need a pedoscope apparently. A real shame most stuff like that is dangerous.

      I mean, the x-ray thing was just a random example, but okey 🤷

      I would much rather do x-rays at home with an app or something, than have to go to the hospital to get them done.

        for sure, it’s just that xrays are ionizing radiation and as such are extremely hazardouss. xray techs wont even be in the same room as the machine when its on. the glass they’re looking at you through is leaded to prevent their repeated exposure to it.
