Showerthoughts

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:
- Both “200” and “160” are 2 minutes in microwave math
- When you’re a kid, you don’t realize you’re also watching your mom and dad grow up.
- More dreams have been destroyed by alarm clocks than anything else
Rules
- All posts must be showerthoughts
- The entire showerthought must be in the title
- No politics
- If your topic is in a grey area, please phrase it to emphasize the fascinating aspects, not the dramatic aspects. You can do this by avoiding overly politicized terms such as "capitalism" and "communism". If you must make comparisons, you can say something is different without saying something is better/worse.
- A good place for politics is c/politicaldiscussion
- Posts must be original/unique
- Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct and the TOS
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.

Hopefully, I will someday be able to buy a Linux smartphone that is truly controlled by me.
GrapheneOS with no Google play services/sim is the best experience currently available
The year of the linux phone.
I wish it could actually happen. But corporate has learned a lot from the 90s and early 00s. They are lock in experts that won't let that happen easily.
postmarketOS has been making strides ever since Google announced they'd kill ~~sideloading~~ installing 3^rd^ party apps.
The list of phones is growing, I hope they get something high end up there. Current gOS is best because I want a phone with a good camera.
I'm building a cyberdeck
I don’t think that’s the right criteria here. Librem 5 already exists, but that alone doesn’t make it a viable daily driver.
You would need to be able to do nearly everything through the browser without installing any Android or iOS apps. About 15-20 years ago, you could live like that, but can you do that today? I would argue that you can’t, because the world has moved on. Of course, you could always sever your ties with the rest of the world and demand everything to work through a browser because you can’t install the apps everyone else depends on.
