It will be hot. Not just warm, but brutal. People dying in the streets of Detroit kind of brutal.
Oh, and those fucking lead pipes will still be buried in Flint and a hundred other American cities because no one gives a damn about the poor or their children.
We’ll probably be up to the iPhone 22 but I doubt that’s what they’ll call it.
We will have missed the majority of the global warming deadlines to transition to greener energy by 2030 with most companies pushing out their timeliness to 2050.
The buzz around AI will have died down a bit but the technology will have found its niche and been adopted both as a useful tool and the next step of enshittification against users.
The SpaceX Mars mission will still be nowhere to be found
The first $10 trillion+ market cap company will exist by then
There will be some other, different conflict in the middle-east
The invasion of Taiwan will have either already been attempted or China gives up on it and decides to focus on building their own fabs
Putin is still in control of Russia but extremely rarely seen outside of his bunker. Thee are many conspiracies that he is dead and has been replaced by a double
The war in Ukraine has stalled with neither party being able to achieve complete victory. There is an armistice in place but not a proper peace accord
The price of food has almost doubled again compared to today but wages only increased by 60%
There is an even higher social tension between the left and right but people are unwilling to try to break out of the two party system
Lemmy has 2-3 x users compared to today but is still a niche platform
I believe both the democratic and republican parties will be in the midst of a crisis of transition of leadership.
Six more years could easily take out the big power brokers of both parties, and I see this leading to a large amount of infighting amongst both parties for platform control.
For the Dems it’ll be between the establishment chosen successors and the progressive ascendants, it’s going to be a fight instead of a wash out because even convincing progressives to turn out for their own is like pulling teeth.
For the Republicans it will be infighting sects of the cult of Trump. In a peak of Irony, I see faults forming in a manner similar to the Sunni Shi’a split, where the disagreements are mostly about who the true successor is.
2038, it’s known as the 2038 problem, essentially 32bits computers will run out of bits for counting seconds. This has been fixed on any modern system.
oh i was just making a stupid joke about 2KB.
I didn't realise there was an actual other y2k problem.
How did they get to a 32 bit problem within only 2038 years?
Oh is it like 32 bit counter of seconds or some dumb shit like that.
Stupid shortcut data structures.
That said I'd better check the RTC module in my arduino alarm clock.
It's a clock module though so i assume it was designed by someone who gives time enough respect to store the data properly.
Essentially what happens is that computers measure dates as the number of seconds since Jan 1st 1970 (known as Epoch). 32 bits can only count seconds up to Jan 19 2038, after that it will cause an overflow and reset to zero. Most modern systems use 64 bits for dates even if the processor is 32. Same reason why 32 bit computers shouldn’t use more than 4GB of RAM (they can’t address it properly)
That organisms will die, that stars will be born, and that the farttardiest questions will be unthought out, badly phrased, and posted on asklemmy’); DROP TABLE THOUGHTCRIMINALS; —
I’m not sure he has that much time left. That man is old, and doesn’t seem to have a healthy lifestyle, or any real friends. My friends, my real ones, tell me when I’m overdoing things, or falling into unhealthy habits.
