No I don’t wanna google or apple device. I know why is remarkable supposed to be special but after trying it, it is not really that… well… remarkable.

That said, everyone is different 🤷

Exactly. Whenever there is a subscription for something basic it’s a huge red flag and no go.

Thank you for a nice summary, you saved me a lot of work 😀 I basically agree with everything you said 👍

I think its incentivizing for the subscription. Personally I am waiting for linux eink tablet 😀

Well if it was 3 times cheaper maybe. But for the price I expect capable device, not device crippled by software (and subscription).

My wife had one, sadly they have very closed system, its really just for notes, if you try use it as ebook reader it will get complicated and unintuitive real fast. Dont even think about reading web on that thing.

My mom was also hanging on facebook way too much. Then they asked her to upload selfie video and her ID and she was like “no way I am gonna give them that” and that was that, problem solved I guess 😀 The issue with older people I find is that they are sceptical or even cynical, or they just think it doesn’t matter because they are reaching the end if you know what I mean.

I partially agree with you. i think it is crutial to discuss and argue when there is a chance. Politely, not forcefully. Even people that don’t want to change things they may eventually change their mind. From my experience, when they hear it from more sources they become interested. And sometimes if its repeated enough they will begin to see it as truth. Doesn’t always work, but I saw it work with some pretty stubborn people 😀

There is a great video from Naomi Brockwell who basically lays out all the arguments why “I have nohing to hide” is such a bs. I’d recommend watching it and arm yourself with good arguments. That said I partially agree with the other reply, if they don’t won’t, don’t force it. Usually its better to say your arguments for why it matters and then leave them to think about it. Often times they here it here and there and they come asking more later.

Just tell them (the truth) that their emails are read, their keystrokes are sent, their messages are not safe either, tell them that they have no online privacy and America sees it all (that America that is currently shooting people for recording a video). Older generations, I found, expect privacy and they usually are shocked to find out that it is breached every moment they use their mail, os, phone, etc… It is the same with my parents. The change is not fast, we always talk about one particular area (like messaging) and then they ask me themselves what they can do to fix it (like installing signal).
