In no particular order, from where I am:
- Linux/FOSS
- Renewable energy
- Crime rates
- Consumer protection laws
- Furry cons
- Vegan & vegetarian products
- The AI bubble (slowly)
- Left-wing parties
Why do you think Linux and FOSS are getting worse? It’s an enormous ecosystem… hard to say one way or the other, but there are a lot of really good mature products right now.
No no, these things are getting better in my opinion, in Germany/EU at least!
Yes, I agree
I recently heard a take of “what boomers don’t understand about millennials and younger generations is that we don’t expect anything good to happen ever again.” I’ve talked to a lot of friends about this and the general consensus is “…yeah” not a single person has disputed it, even a little. When I mentioned this to my dad, he complained that his social security might be reduced in the next few years.
I saw a debate where someone said “All of my friends are in their 30s. None of them have kids. None. Do you know how hard you have to abuse a mammal to make it stop having kids?”
And now I think we have an answer to that question.
In my friend group, there is one person who has a kid. One. We’re all late 20s, early 30s.
I don’t expect it, but I’m also not going to be complicit in them getting worse. Lethargy and cynicism means you’ve already lost, which is what the assholes at the top want.
With you 100% I think millennials have been taught our whole lives that those at the top will take anything we don’t nail down. We’ll keep nailing things down, continuing with the expectation that the world will continue not to be made for us
i mean… i hope good things will happen, but yeah i don’t expect them to. especially when we look at the climate crisis, we’re probably one of the last generations that’ll remember the world when it was relatively normal
i just hope i die before the whole planet is forced to ration drinking water
Don’t be silly, the fentanyl market is booming, and military spending is through the roof!
On a side note, I don’t know who this guy in the suit is, but check his hard drive.
It will continue to get worse because humanity has failed. God stays in heaven because the devil has won.
If you want some good news: the earth is greener than it was 20 years ago. About 5% greener, mostly due to big tree planting projects in India and China, but also due to de-desertification efforts on the edges of the Saha, Forrest restoration in the Americas rewilding efforts in Europe (which are also introducing native wildlife back to Europe like wolves, bison and beavers) and even the redesigning of urban centres to include more green space.
Is it green enough to offset the amount of people & pollution from billionaires that we have now vs 20 years ago?
We’re actually getting close to that
We have far less fears to see our civilzations collapse than we had at that time… Isn’t it kind of positive to have some hopes?
we must be living in different civilisations then. all i’m hearing is “climate crisis faster than expected”
Do you feel like the civilization you live in as a positive effect to prevent this crisis?
If the civilization I live in collapse, that would be an harsh chaos for us, but for climate and therefore future generations I really think it would be a positive event…
Fun part is we have a global civilization.
Review Brah’s weekly reports are the one sane center in my hurly burly world.

You just read that in my voice, didn’t you?"
