Oh, thanks for explaining. Here's the Why article: https://collapseos.org/why.html (didn't see it before).

In it, he writes: "... two important stages of collapse ... the second one is when, in a particular community, the last modern computer dies ... decades between the two ... Collapse OS won't be actually useful before you and I are both long dead"

making me wonder if one scenario he has in mind, is the different biggest countries in the world stopping trading with each other, so it won't be possible to get more rare earth metals (needed for today's computers, right). And then, maybe downhill from there, the thereafter following 50 or 100 years? — But not _necessarily_ a nuclear winter or something that dramatic & sudden.

And ... He also writes:

> What made me turn to the "yup, we're fucked" camp was "Comment tout peut s'effondrer" [a book]

I think you'd find the answers in that book then? Seems the book got translated: "How Everything Can Collapse" [in our lifetime] by Pablo Servigne.
