Federation between social sites will not gain traction; social silos will remain the norm.
Nvidia will continue to grow and exert dominance.
Tech monopolies will persist, but no significant remedies will be imposed.
2025 Resolutions
I will accept that OSS projects may change their licenses and adapt accordingly.
I will remain calm when OSS projects stop offering easy-to-use, free versions.
I will accept that hyperscalers hosting or monetizing OSS projects is inevitable.
I will see forking OSS projects after a license change as a natural evolution of open source.
I will use AI to summarize my writing and send the summary if it communicates my point more effectively.
