  • “I don’t know. I’m not clicking a number thing.” - My normie family and friends. I have an address that literally my name. Like literally my legal name. And they’re skeptical of it.

    Once while trying to troubleshoot something we wanted one person to install WireGuard. In his words “I’m not installing some random software I’ve never heard of just to fix this”.

    Sometimes it’s worth remembering that the simple act of being here on Lemmy means we’re probably the most tech literate people we know and if you’re lucky enough to have a tech literate bubble around you as well then a simple invite to Jellyfin really is simple. But my group of friends are… less techy…


  • It’s such a pain. On the one hand, central account management has allowed me to easily explain to and sign up friends and family who don’t trust anyone except Google/Facebook/Netflix/etc but I also hate having these breaches happen.

    I started converting an old email address years ago to a new email hidden behind an email redirect due to the amount of breaches the old one was involved in. An absolute pain to do but now I can just update the proxy email address in the face of a breach like this.
