I always suggest FOSS options when they apply!

Me too! I'm in the process of switching my family over to things like Bitwarden

[-] Quindius@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago

I wish I could do that, but they just don't seem to really care

lol same. wanted to switch my mom over to ff and uninstall chrome, but she didn't wanna lose all her open tabs. bitch u don't remember what the fuck is on tab #127, you don't need it. it is what it is ig

You never know, she might have an index of what is on every tab in a hand-written diary

Then she can reopen those tabs in FF :)

The sneaky play is to copy over all her tabs when she's sleeping, then see if she notices. Either that or just slowly start closing her oldest tabs and see if/when she notices, then get her to move over when it's managable

If it's like my grand ma: Oh no, there is an unfamiliar button I have never seen before and I am too scared because I may break the pc. calls me for advice, but listens not really (I am not mad about it)

If anything they are so far in their tracks they will notice it on mobile.
Maybe not so fast on desktop.

oh yeah I close a few every time I use her phone

this is how Joker started probably

Why though? If she already knows how to use something, the hurdle of having to deal with her complaints when something is slightly different will make everyone lose.
