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. A showerthought should offer a unique perspective on an ordinary part of life.

Rules

  1. All posts must be showerthoughts
  2. The entire showerthought must be in the title
  3. Avoid politics
    • 3.1) NEW RULE as of 5 Nov 2024, trying it out
    • 3.2) Political posts often end up being circle jerks (not offering unique perspective) or enflaming (too much work for mods).
    • 3.3) Try c/politicaldiscussion, volunteer as a mod here, or start your own community.
  4. Posts must be original/unique
  5. Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct

You do realize that we're not, right? There are private lines that run for secure communication.

I wish

The thing is people want easy and air gapping the system is not easy.

You wish? Not sure i follow.. Perhaps I should be more clear in my comment in response to the other user: There are currently, in use, private air-gapped point-to-point lines that go across the Atlantic between the US and specific countries for secure communication. In fact there are a ton of them.
