Religion will become popular again and people still start falling for nonsense like ghosts and superstitions. People born after the 80s don't really remember just how batshit crazy people went for misinformation before we had the internet.
We need a new internet without corporate bullshit and some integrity in terms of knowledge. But seeing what happened to the current one, I don't think that will be possible until we kill capitalism.
These days firing employees when turning a profit is what makes the stock go up.
Its called revolt. By the point Americans have reached, many countries would be in full revolt. By the time Americans realize that revolt is their only option the army will be setup in their cities and bought and paid for by the oligarchy. The good soldiers will be removed from the army and they will have no protectors to stand with them.
Use DKMS drivers. They rebuild for the latest kernel as its upgraded. Using precompiled libs is a problem as many vendors dont keep up with the kernel.
Also, consider an OS that isn't just a Ubuntu variant. Broken kernel upgrades are a thing of the past since our house dumped Ubuntu based distros.

The modding momentum is picking up quite a bit and as a game engine its far better than Minecraft.
StreetComplete to help fill in the gaps. GeoShare to translate google/apple maps locations to geocoordinates for OSM, and then adding the place in OSMAnd if you login with the OpenStreetMaps editor plugin. This is how those of us who adopted Google Maps early added so much of their data..
I use OSMAnd and the search is a lot better, not sure what client you are using.
The only difference between these maps and their data is the effort by the community to update it. Google doesn't pay people to update places, they entice them with points and advertising. Google and Apple maps would be no different from OSM if no one updated them
Google maps only ever knew where you were going because Ingress players and Google "local guides" filled in all the data for them.
Update the out of date data. Its not hard and the more people use it the more accurate the places data will be.

Specifically OSMAnd.
Just had this one shared with me directly on signal and could not find it in here, nor could I find a source. Too good not to share though. If someone knows the meme creator I'll update this with proper credit.
This is what CB Radios are, and many more people used to have them before cell phones.
People in mountainous areas where a cell phone is useless still do.
