By level of confidence, from top to bottom:
Bitcoin will dump soon and then raise up again around 2028
Trump will stay in power until next elections (and yes, elections will still take place)
Ukraine will have to surrender to Russia around late 2025-early 2026, boosting authoritarian regimes around the world
Linux desktop share will raise to 6% by 2027
TBF, Russia still has elections. Just no chance of Putin ever leaving.

Ukraine will likely cede territory but not a total surrender. It would give both sides an exit.

I think Trump is going to die in the next 10 years.
Rootin for cholesterol
Hopefully much sooner!
The today's "brave new world" will start turning into Orwellian Big Brother society. It's already happening. Of course neither option is great but I prefer drugs, orgies and idiots to surveillance, absolute police state and slaves/prisoners.
It's inadvisable to think about people being after you, "how would I hide," etc...but if you give it a thought or two, you might realize it would already be very, very, very difficult to escape nearly omnipresent surveillance. You just need to put one or two headlines together...
"Google Tracking Your Phone Even Before You Open App/Potentially Even When Phone is Off"
"DOGE Has Gained Access to Americans' Private Data"
Etc... We let it sneak up on us and we're going to find it's seemingly all there at once.
In Finland the Police has been demanding full access to fingerprints originally gathered for passports and IDs (of around three million citizens) which means that the police could use them for other than their intended purposes. AND it looks like the police is finally going to have their way in this matter. This is how a police state is build, one step at a time until it's too late to complain.
Yeah, and after the last two Independece days I really don't trust cops much.

More floods, storms, droughts, extreme heats, fewer animal/plant species, more garbage everywhere
Trump either dies suspiciously or gets openly assassinated.
California secedes from the union which starts off hopeful but ends in their own Calexit debacle.
The severing of intercontinental data cables leads to the isolation of formerly global communities.

America will suffer an economic depression and become more isolationist which will allow the depression to continue unabated. Millions die of starvation and exposure.

By 2035 everyone who actually likes computers will be primary using Linux.
I choose to interpret this as "Barely a handful of people survived WW3, and only because they were protected from the radiation deep in their basement server rooms." (No hate, I heart less than three ๐ง)
Ameriscum here. Trump starts a war to create plausibility for holding on to executive power past current term limits. Which has happened in American history. Not the starting part as an ends to a means though. I'm scared.

We will have The Year of Linux Desktop 3: Libre Boogaloo
I've flirted with Linux off and on for 20 years, but MS forcing everyone to Win 11, stuffed with spyware, is the end of the road for me. Now on Linux full time. Linux isn't about to take over the desktop, but I can see Windows shedding a couple million users a year as enshittification continues.

I personally aerosolize psychedelic drugs over Washington D.C. This melts the rotting meat suits off the mantids and lizards.
