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
- ExLisper ( @ExLisper@linux.community ) English52•1 year ago
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.

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?
- erogenouswarzone ( @erogenouswarzone@lemmy.ml ) English2•1 year ago
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…

We have flying cars right now they’re called helicopters. You just don’t have one because they’re expensive.

There will be exactly 4 flying cars in 10 years.
I’m the oracle, I have spoken!

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.

- WtfEvenIsExistence3️ ( @WtfEvenIsExistence@reddthat.com ) English48•1 year ago
1984 is wayyy too exaggerated. We don’t need to force people to have a “telescreen” if everyone just voluntarily spend their own resources to obtain them. (Eg: Smart Home Assistants) We don’t need to have a “ministry of truth” when people voluntarily believe in lies spread on news and social media. (Eg: Various Facebook groups, “QAnon”, Fox News)
- Nonameuser678 ( @Nonameuser678@aussie.zone ) 32•1 year ago
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.
- Pissnpink ( @Pissnpink@feddit.uk ) 26•1 year ago
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.
- maegul (he/they) ( @maegul@lemmy.ml ) English19•1 year ago
In the west and culturally, a post-boomer period will have begun. And I think there’ll be continued evaluation of what mistakes that era made especially as climate change looms as an increasingly damaging debt. In a similar vein, the relationship with capitalism and big corps is, I think, going to get messy and more polarised, in part because the mistakes we’ve made will be hard to disentangle for many.
Overall, I suspect that for many paying attention, the downfall of the west will seem more and more plausible and closer and that will create a contentious atmosphere.
- OnionQuest ( @OnionQuest@lemmy.ml ) 6•1 year ago
Downfall of the West relative to who? The whole world is impacted by climate change and the West is best positioned to manage its effects.
- maegul (he/they) ( @maegul@lemmy.ml ) English4•1 year ago
I did say “overall”, it wasn’t premised entirely on climate change. My concern is that the systems of government, influence and leadership have been pretty badly corrupted. No other region or culture needs to be better for this to be true … all cultures/civilisations have periods of decay without “dying” or being conquered.

- bloopernova ( @bloopernova@programming.dev ) English12•1 year ago
Civilization will be crawling on its hands and knees, dying.
The rich will all be trying to pile into New Zealand.
America will be a warzone.
I’ll have been killed by a flash mob stealing food from vulnerable houses.
Canada will be overrun by refugees, with rampant disease and cannibalism in the camps.
The republicans in the USA will still deny climate change, saying it’s all a hoax.
The middle east and india will be uninhabitable.
Nuclear weapons use will be widespread.
The Internet won’t exist anymore.
Everyone reading this comment will be dead.

- k5nn ( @k5nn@lemm.ee ) 10•1 year ago
With all the dystopian content I’ve been consuming lately I’d say we’re heading to an age of
Mass surveilance
Regionalistic Economies in place of globalism
Widening wealth disparity
Intensified distrust of our governmentsThat is if the tensions in Asia Pacific don’t turn into an all out conflict ( Live in PH )
- maynarkh ( @maynarkh@feddit.nl ) 7•1 year ago
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.
- LoreleiSankTheShip ( @LoreleiSankTheShip@lemmy.ml ) English3•1 year ago
I think wealth disparity can get much worse than this. People used to be enslaved and forced into serfdom. The people on top wouldn’t have to win if the people revolted, they just have to not lose and let the people who already struggle die from starvation. Such a scenario is highly unpredictable and personally I still think the people would win, but it’s definitely an uphill battle that’s getting harder the more we remain passive.

It’s very hard to tell. Most decades have inertia that carry on 3-4 years in. You didn’t see people vaping or people with full beards drinking craft beer until 2013.
It’s hard to tell what’s seeping into the new decade from the last decade, what’s here to stay, and what’s new to come. Are NFTs the new thing? Or just a symptom of the boom in crypto the 20-teens.
I do predict AI will be here to stay, though.
