So for a same magnitude a quake that is shallow, in conducting/resonating ground, grows stronger after the first few seconds, lasts longer than average and involves a longer rupture line will be substantially more powerful.

Both the aforementioned earthquakes in Nicaragua and the Solomon Islands today were shallow, only 10 km deep. I am wondering if we will see more shallow (and powerful quakes) soon, which may be indicative of increased crustal slippage as the earth's rotation slows and other factors.

Yes crustal slippage is one important factor.The slowdown of the Earth also leads to a change in the shape of the planet (from ellipsoidal to more spherical).

Another hypothetical factor is the cosmic energetic inflow reaching Earth around 18° latitude and triggering gas releases which might be the main cause of plate drifts and subsequent quakes (and volcanic eruption).

I think the earthquakes in the 2-3 ranges are not even really worth mentioning. Kind of like background noise. Once they get into the mid 4's, they will 'get your attention'. A lot of it depends on the substrate of the earth as well as the type of earthquake. Certainly a 4, if there is a granite substrate, will produce a significant jolt. If the earth is more crumbly, it feels different. Anyway, the 2's and 3's (again - just my opinion) are not all that significant. The 4's are more of a wakeup call that maybe something bigger is coming...or just pressure relief.

I used to think that way, but the magnitude although relevant to certain issues, say ... destruction of buildings, damages in electric structures, disruption in services etc... many involving people, one can say as you mention, are worth it, ... the thing is, even the 1-3 magnitude are relevant too, the whole world is shaking and the shaking is increasing, not all measurements by organizations are equal, depends in their own parameters as well, also there is the possibility that the origin of the shaking could come from above, in my particular case, I usually disregard those of 1-3 magnitude, those are hundreds per day registered at national seismologic! sometimes I do, depends on the major earthquake ... and I am almost sure that other regional or by country seismologic organizations/authorities may have such data quite similar ... and, nowadays that I am seeing the videos by suspiciousobservers, that correlates the Sun with the earthquakes and had been reading the Earth Changes and the Human Cosmic Connection book, which correlates earthquakes to another set of phenomena, including asteroids/comets ... earthquakes, even from low magnitude had become interesting ... fwiw

From my limited perspective, i quite agree mabar. Reviewing the USGS earthquake monitor regularly (Earthquake tracker is good too since it provides dates and magnitudes for previous quakes) and the odd alert on social media, i try to see if there are any repeating patterns, swarms or unfamiliar areas, taking into account (or at least trying to) volcanoes, fracking, geomagnetic activity and the sun, and so on.

For instance, recently there appears to have been the odd spate of earthquake swarms and so, where possible, i log it here. Thing is, i could be wrong and there could be another explanation, like magma build up from a dormant volcano or something else, but i won't learn if i keep it to myself, it also enables others who may spot an interesting pattern since it probably isn't all about the 'big ones'. If the earth is slowing down and/or 'opening up' then one may expect this to occur in mild rumbles as well as big shifts.
