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
- All posts must be showerthoughts
- The entire showerthought must be in the title
- 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.
- Posts must be original/unique
- Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct

Unfortunately you weren't far from the truth on that second part about Gmail showing ads in your Inbox.

Not sure if they are still testing this out on people. I know I never got put into the group of users they tested it on but I'm at a point now where I don't trust it won't be pushed onto people sooner rather than never.
Somehow I'm not even surprised by this. A little disappointed, perhaps, but definitely not surprised.
A lot disappointed. I remember a time when Google followed a Don't Be Evil motto, and most people couldn't even figure out how they made money. They were constantly pushing out cool new products, and generally seemed to be making the world a better place. Oh, and their search results were top notch. Now Google is just one disappointment after the other.
