Lemmy is a tech literate echo chamber
(aussie.zone)
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 don't claim to have much computer knowledge, but people look at me like I have two heads when I suggest using a YouTube client without ads or download Blokada. Hell, the amount of people who don't use Firefox (or a fork of it) and uBlock Origing are insane
Any good reccomendations for an alternate youtube client?
i use IgeBlock, it still has banner ads but tbh they don't bother me
Average person here. I just want all my stuff to work with minimal intervention. And for me at least Google delivered. So that's what I went with. I work too much to really care. I hate ads so I go with stuff like YouTube Premium, but for normal sites you have to stay on top of the latest methods and find workarounds to make ad blockers work perfectly. It's just not a big enough inconvenience for me to dedicate what little time I have to deal with.
I mean, it takes three minutes to switch to Firefox and maybe thirty seconds to install uBlock Origin, which generally works out of the box
