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
    1. NEW RULE as of 5 Nov 2024, trying it out
    2. Political posts often end up being circle jerks (not offering unique perspective) or enflaming (too much work for mods).
    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-----

Privacy services are sometimes hard to learn so people will just decide to go back to the old days. I imagine that it will be easier in a group.

Good luck fitting in society at that point… And avoiding all dependent technologies - cars, every city and shops that uses image recognition…. Plenty other ways to indirectly get anyone’s data in this world.

Now you can turn to the forest but is it better than the alternative ?

That's why it would be a reasonably big movement. It would be basically going on strike from tech.

How would one organize such a movement?

In Demolition Man they used an old classic car instead of the new self-driving, auto-tracking cars.
