A "Showerthought" is a simple term used to describe the thoughts that pop into your head while you're doing everyday things like taking a shower, driving, or just daydreaming. The most popular seem to be lighthearted clever little truths, hidden in daily life.
Here are some examples to inspire your own showerthoughts:
If you made it this far, showerthoughts is accepting new mods. This community is generally tame so its not a lot of work, but having a few more mods would help reports get addressed a little sooner.
Whats it like to be a mod? Reports just show up as messages in your Lemmy inbox, and if a different mod has already addressed the report, the message goes away and you never worry about it.
Thunderbolt is already integrated in usb-c.
notably not the same thing at all
Is the wish to bring back an outdated communication protocol or an outdated connector?
the communication protocol doesn't seem that outdated, and the only issue with the connector seems to be price and size
The protocol is 30 years old. It has been replaced 3 times over by thunderbold. The connector doesn't fit on most modern devices and has been replaced by usb-c.
Why would anyone want it back?
the peripherals that use it are significantly cheaper now than their modern alternatives, and the cables go farther than USB 2.0 let alone 3.0 or thunderbolt. I like it for reasons similar to why I like VGA, namely price while still being good enough for modern usage.
