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

It’s anti-competitive to other search engines and advertisers.

@[email protected] @[email protected] IMO it would be monopolistic if Google forced Mozilla to remove the ability to change the default search engine. But if you want Mozilla to ask users which search engine they would like to set as default during initialization of the browser even after dealing with Google, that would definitely be nice.
