2033 will finally be the year of linux desktop
And you’re right. 2032 is the last year that Win 10 gets updates.
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.
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 😂
More climate refugees, more crop failures due to worsening climate change, more deaths due to climate change
Not much different. Foldable phones will be widespread, American cars will be bigger, shaving machines will have more blades, natural disasters will be more common. We will go through one or two more cycles of drought/forest fires and heavy rains/floodings. We will see one or two mass migrations from India, Pakistan and Africa resulting in first climate refuge camps on the borders of EU.
shaving machines will have more blades
I wish they’d just work out how many blades is the optimum number of blades, and then put that number of blades on. Why are we doing this iterative design approach.
Anecdotally, I’ve found that answer to be one.
So you are telling me there still won’t be flying cars in 10 years? smh
We have flying cars right now they’re called helicopters. You just don’t have one because they’re expensive.
I like the cut of your
jibblade, sailor.
Flying cars are a terrible idea. We can barely keep them rolling on the ground. Do you really want several tones of metal floating above your head?
Yes. Every single day, almost every person I see driving is looking at their cell phones or holding them at their mouth talking. I mean those odds should be astronomical, but it’s more common than not. Imagine adding another dimension of travel to that…
There will be exactly 4 flying cars in 10 years.
I’m the oracle, I have spoken!
Yeah, as the pinnacle of human achievement, we need to bring traffic congestion to the skies.
you forgot the next pandemic
Foldable phones will be widespread
Very unlikely.
Wanna bet?
Sure. Ping me in 10 years and I will give you an upvote if you are right.
Deal!

Same as it does now, just with slightly less effective money.
Maybe a little sweatier and thirsty.
0.4C warmer globally
Depends whether we choose solarpunk or dystopia.
We’re already in a dystopia, it’s been that way for a while now, it’ll just get even more dystopian.
yeah pretty much. Eventually somethings gotta give, but its a matter of if we live to see it or not. I don’t think it will for me, but that’s what Lenin said in January 1917 so, you know. Never know!
I have a personal preference
My guess: Electric vehicles everywhere, protests, more linux users, and portless phones will be the norm
Edit: Oh yeah privacy is dead or at least much more harder to obtain
2033 is the year of Linux on the desktop.
1984

More Linux users is really a coin flip in my mind. It feels like Linux had more users in 2016 than now. Linux had more games natively support it than today and proton for be had been really hit or miss. We’ll see if steam os ever comes to the desktop because I could see that being a major benefit to the Linux market but I don’t see it significantly growing before then on desktops.
You can install Proton (the game compatibility layer) on desktop Linux now, can’t you?
Yes, you always could. That’s not my point at all. Linux in general has been less stable through updates than Windows in my expense and in a lot of people’s experience. Steam os preserves root and wipes all packages that aren’t supported in the base install every update. So it forces stability. This is the length Valve has gone to in order to make Linux stable. Android is also stable in that same way. By making root fs essentially read only.
To make Linux more stable you have to reduce user choice and a lot of users are okay with this.
FUD.
The same as now but more dilapidated, desperate, and annoying, if you’re lucky enough to not have everything changed by climate catastrophe in that time or torn apart by war
Oh, and people won’t hang out outside much in most places for much of the year, we’ll all collectively shelter indoors, as discomfort from heat becomes common and people start adapting to constant dangerous heatwaves
Don’t forget the oppressively dense smoke covering all of North America every summer, simultaneously during extreme heat waves, meaning that the cheap leaky window AC systems found in normally cool areas will make people have to choose between overheating and coughing.
eventually there won’t be enough left to burn to cause the smoke clouds!
hooray!
We will start to see major companies collapse when they realize too late hoarding wealth means no one can buy anything.
What do you think human civilization will look like in 10 years?
We will likely have hit 1.5 + degrees of warming in 10 years time so our society may look quite different. It’s likely that our supply chains will be disrupted by this and become more localised as rising temperatures / intensifying weather events impact our capacity to grow / distribute as much food as we do now. There may potentially be Pacific Nations that no longer exist due to sea level rise. We will likely also see the beginning of a significant climate refugee crisis that nations in the global north will struggle to respond to.
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.

Agreed. I see supply chains (both production and logistics) for all sectors either disappearing all together or becoming severely limited. This will drive population reduction and the development of local economies. Local food production will become the highest valued commodity but the primary input (water) will be increasingly scarce and valuable. Rainwater harvesting will be a priority for all along with solar energy production and storage.
Closer to Idiocracy.
Crispy
I watched a documentary about this recently. The franchise wars should be coming up soon that allows all restaurants to become Taco Bell.
Strange… I watched a similar documentary, but it was Pizza Hut that prevailed.
I hope not, I wouldn’t be able to afford pizza anymore T,T
I think I watched the same one. I think the three seashells will revolutionise the bathroom experience.
I still can’t figure out how those goddamn things work.
uhh huhuuhhhuhh Hey guys, get this. This guys doesn’t know how the three sea shells work!
Don’t worry, a couple of swear words and you will get enough tickets to wipe.
