Solar and sodium batteries will be the only new additions to energy production.
China will be the main superpower, US and Europe to follow, India being where China was 10 years ago.
African countries will be in a shitstorm because of climate change and following refugees.
EU and US will have changed to nationalist shitholes relying on mass surveillance going on, with unemployment rising.
We’ll probably see a few revolutions fail as the powers that be will economically strangle any revolution against their interest, anywhere.
Late 30s I see capitalism fail as purchase power fall due to automation. We might see a transition where slaves become globally cheaper than robots or towards an extremely service oriented economy.
And flying cars will be a thing at least for going from home to your private jet.


Does it have a proximity sensor on the power screen? If it is only a second screen, I can see an easy curtain hack.


My guess is they’ll enforce a xiaomi-style thing where you have to login, wait, go through hoops, wait again,…

Have you tried telling them inspiration comes from spice? Want some? First one’s on me?
Lemmy is the left wing version of Truth Social
I’d say a few instances are indeed, but overall I find it ranges from far left to centerish, where as TS ranges from far right.
but make no mistake THE FEDIVERSE IS AN ECHO CHAMBER.
VERSE IS AN ECHO CHAMBER…


My guess is that the majority of communist regimes were killed by external countries.
Just a hunch, can’t bother to look at numbers though, but thinking about people like Sankara.


The Soviet system
The Stalin system and kept later on… Rather far away from what a soviet system was supposed to be.


almost the plot of “The moon is a harsh mistress.”


A desktop running a low usage wouldn’t consume much more than a NAS, as long as you drop the video card (which wouldn’t be running anyways).
Take only that extra and you probably have a few years usage before additional electricty costs overrun NAS cost. Where I live that’s around 5 years for an estimated extra 10W.


Clean the PC and change the fans. Fans make noise when old.


Being French, I am not knowledgeable enough beyond Europe 😁.
For context, Germany recently did a last minute blockage of a European move towards mass surveillance of messaging (called chat control), and a v2 is already being prepared for another attack on privacy at European level.
We are living in interesting times.


All secured OSes and messaging systems are threatened by European governments / EU institutions at the moment, and the French government has been doing so for a few years.
This is not a grapheneOS only issue and it is not new.


Having a secure phone / secure messaging has been seen as suspicious by the police in france for several years now.
This has already been used against eco activists to detain them preemptively and a few times to increase charges towards terrorism / organized crime when possible.
From France: news outlets began parroting government stating GrapheneOS is used by narcos.
GrapheneOS reacted strongly.
However, France is on a very shitty auth-right trend (including arresting Telegram founder) so the reaction is very understandable.
French billionaires are actively promoting fascism, headed by Bolloré who owns a TV station similar to foxnews and has a neo Nazi body guard on his private island.
French police is killing more people every year, with little to no consequence. French protests have changed from family walks to full riots as police attacks peaceful protests (a recent leak shows amongst other things a riot-cop telling his officer during what can only be described as a battle that protesters have children amongst them, officer replies that it’s what you choose when protesting).
It’s not about tech, it’s about control of the masses so they don’t rebel.
