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.
I disagree. The amount of stagnant backwards ignorance about what AI and llms are and how they function would suggest to me there is only a cursory level knowledge of technology on this platform.
Like you said just enough to create a Lemmy account without assistance but not enough to understand the nuance of emerging tech.
Yeah, there's a strong contingent of computer people here. I'm one. If I had been a twitter user, I'd be on Mastadon because the same thing happened there.
But, hopefully you can prune your topics to match your taste. It took me a little bit to filter out the stuff I didn't want and subscribe to the stuff I only found by accident and now my feed very much fits what I want to see. Mine involves tech. But it doesn't have to.
"don't even know how to boot from USB"
Are you serious with this post?
I just wish I could go one single day on Lemmy without the Linux bros yelling to the heavens and going on and on about Linux. If there’s one thing that makes me avoid it, it’s the fanboys here
This is where everyone from the old internet retreated to.
All we need now are instances that allow freedom of speech.
Oh no an echo chamber of people that know things or care about privacy. Do you really think I should go read 4chan or youtube comments to broaden my horizon?
Ahhh you've already succumb to the hivemind brainrot if you think people on Lemmy know things
"Literate" is being generous. This place is pure pop tech, and generally just regurgitates tech YouTube meta.
