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.

I saw recently they've cured Parkinsons for the first time, and I think HIV can be reversed now. So that's pretty cool.

Oh, and I don't know if you've noticed, but they fixed airport and hotel wifi. I don't know why I thought shitty wifi in hotels and airports was something I would have to live with for the rest of my life. It just always was that way, so I thought it would always be that way. But the last time I went on vacation, blazing public wifi at the airport and at the hotel. with video playing. We are the future.

I think it was probably this one that I read, though they did not use the word cure. They significantly improved symptoms.
