What tech if any have you found interesting lately?

What tech concerns if any do you have as of late?

Mine:

concerned about the google web DRM. I've been digging into android and trying to give stock android a chance again but the DRM stuff makes me want to jump over to iOS for tap to pay + carplay and Graphene/Calyx for my daily internet usage. Android added a builtin ad ID to their phones which makes me pretty uncomfortable.
Decentralized Tech, like Radicle, Gitopia, Mango for Git and Ethereum DApps (again). Feels like there is a lot of good that can be done but anything I'd build with ethereum I'd really want to disambiguate from the culture of scam/scam coins. The notion that most successful platforms today are ones people can make a career off of like being an influencer isn't lost on me and I think ethereum offering ways to maybe appeal to that is good.
IPFS (interplanetary file system). Love the idea but can't seem to find a good entry point or an easy way to discover content and really understand how a consumer would user this outside of an app providing that contex/gateway for it to connect to
Nim Programming language: I love that it looks and reads like lisp/python but compiles like C. I feel like I adopted docker because python and nodejs weren't portable binaries.

I remain really excited about RISC-V, and am delighted to see more performant SBCs becoming available. The Sipeed board in particular, since it comes with Debian already flashed, means that RISC-V is on the cusp of the consumer market.

I was delighted that Debian has started work on making RISC-V an official ISA.

And I'm following Marius' work with great interest - Lomiri on Debian makes a lot of sense to me.

So... The prospect of Lomiri on Debian on RISC-V - a real goal.
