I doubt global warming will negatively affect amount of time spent on open source/programming language design.
Currently we're wasting a lot of time on social media, Netflix, games, etc. There's lots of fat to cut. Also historically bad conditions were when people wrote books and focused on studies. If OS is important - it will develop.
On the other hand x as a service and cloud based stuff will likely die off. Good riddance.

- ajuc 4y agoEconomic collapse can just as easily mean more free time. The relationship isn't linear nor straightforward. For example substinence farming leaves you A LOT of free time, just provides very little surplus and you risk starvation.
