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:

Rules

  1. All posts must be showerthoughts
  2. The entire showerthought must be in the title
  3. 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
  4. Posts must be original/unique
  5. 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.

Android 12 is where they started making everything worse with the quick action and settings redesign, and it's been going downhill since.

You all need to give /e/os a try.

Got a link to a compatibility list? My phones been going strong for 8 years now, I'd hate to have to replace it to escape Google.

If you want the absolute cheapest for like a test drive, the cheapest (new) phone I found, that has the USA bands at least, is the Moto G 5G 2024, compatible with both Lineage and e/OS, only like $140 unlocked, you need to connect to the internet for 7 days before you can toggle the "Bootloader Unlocking" toggle in Developer Settings, idk why, and you need an unlock code from motorola website. I did it, and successfully installed Lineage OS.

Can't really multitask with 4gh ram tho, so you can't really do multiapp without stuff just closing in the background, but you get privacy for cheap

Sure

Though a warning from my experience, I tries to flash a OnePlus 8 that was carrier unlocked. There seems to be a second "unlock" that you need to provide at the time of flashing and oneplus's site never returned a value.

On the flip side, flashing a pixel tablet was trivial, two Fairphone 5's were trivial, and I actually bought a fairphone 6 with it already loaded from Murena.
