And you’re right. 2032 is the last year that Win 10 gets updates.

The year that most people start using Linux is the year that it will find some way to sell out. *I know that it’s not a monolothic thing, GPL, etc. but people ruin everything… enshittification, uh, finds a way

Hopefully 😂

Xorg will finally be put to rest at least. The wayland compositor is still a huge, monumental development, the excuses for using proprietary OSs will thin out.

I can’t wait for the day when Windows 12 releases and we get to bully windows users even harder.

I’ll be surprised if all this eventuates in the next ten years

I have a personal preference

We’re already in a dystopia, it’s been that way for a while now, it’ll just get even more dystopian.

If it turns out that the American government managed to hide the existence for aliens and then randomly just told everyone because somebody forced them to that will be amazing.

If they’re prepared to talk about it that almost certainly means that they’re not aliens.

The US military can more or less just do whatever they want they could totally ignore demands to release information, they could just say oh that was just a classified aircraft test our pilots weren’t told about because it’s above their pay grade, and we cannot release this information for national security reasons.

I think if aliens are real and on earth, our perception of reality had been fed to us and nothing is real or to be believed. Particularly science and physics. Every position of power must be held by an Android ior simulated human and we are part of some experiment. Possibly or most likely fake stimuli being fed direct into our brains.

So interesting to me when I see this opinion. May I ask, are you American?

I am American and feel as though I’ve seen an uptick of people feeling this way.

What is coming very quickly is the climate change, as more trees are burned, faster the earth will heat, I don’t really see how we will stop this.

I think we will be more focused on making sure the planet is livable instead of giving a shit about space aliens tbh

This could have a transformative effect. So many people have no idea what’s been going on with this lately.

Let me be a bit more optimistic:

Mass surveillance

I think we’re already there, and despite the fact you can see laws signed that would point to more surveillance, you can’t ban encryption effectively. It’s kinda hard to ban maths, much harder than weed or booze, and see how they went. Point is, these laws IMO drive awareness of the issue, and everyone can just encrypt their stuff easily, and enforcement of a ban on that is near impossible.

Regionalistic Economies in place of globalism

That’s the geopolitical dream of some countries … but I don’t see the current world order in trade buckling. That said, let’s say that the current world order changes by the USD losing the world’s biggest reserve currency status, what then? Will some countries simply not trade with others because of that? Maybe some pecking orders will rearrange themselves, but no one is interested in destroying the system, people just want their country to dictate instead of the US.

Widening wealth disparity

I don’t think it can widen much more, as the pendulum swings both ways. See how socio-economic woes destabilized the US. We either fix the billionaire problem in a legal orderly fashion, or it resolves itself in an uglier way. It can’t get much worse than this without social order breaking down, and then it’s all moot. The rich can move to their New Zealand bunkers or the Moon to escape the mob, it’s not that much different from them dying or going to prison as far as the rest of the world is concerned.

Intensified distrust of our governments

Have we ever trusted them? And to be honest, should we trust them? I mean I think governments are less untrustworthy than corporations, but still, they have power, and thus should be scrutinized. And besides, the loonies who always vote for the biggest idiot already don’t trust the government. If this growing distrust results in more participation in politics from decent people who just want to live their lives, that’s a good thing.

I grilled dinner tonight out on our deck wearing a painters mask because the smoke from the wildfires around here is so thick it looks like it’s pissing rain outside. Only when I caught myself in the mirror with my plate, mask and tongs did I start to think, this seems a little odd.

Hopefully not a live action Cyberpunk 2077

While i know I wouldn’t make it for very long, fuck yeah I wanna see a samurai show!

and hopefully gta 6

And the next Elder Scrolls game still won’t be out.
